And with that, Touko stepped away from the wall and continued walking. No, she had just started to
walk.

––Boom.

There was a sound. She thought it was a dull sound, it seemed like it was someone else’s concern.
Blood spilled from her mouth. With nowhere else to go, the blood that was expelled from her
organs could no longer be contained and was spat out.
With her vision beginning to get cloudy, she lowered her gaze and saw an arm.
Someone’s arm protruded from her chest.
“What a bizarre object,” Touko thought. A man’s thick arm extended from her chest holding a
plump heart in its grasp. Surely, it was her own heart.
She quickly came to the conclusion.
The enemy had appeared behind her and pierced her body; she was going to die.
“Kill in one shot, huh? I see, that was a good lesson.”
