Chapter 24 - Those Enraged...

The sky was filled with smoke...

By those enraged...

And who felt...

Cheated...

And by those parched lips...

Which parted those separated...

Why do all these terrible things happen?

Those wondered...

She wondered...

Standing in between oblivion and reality...

Little did she know...

What happens next...

Will change the course of history...

Forever...

...

Static filled the room...

The light coming from a single place was all she could see...

Flashing images...

And overlapping voices...

Her heart longed...

To see her again...

Her soul wished...

To see her again...

And yet...

And yet...

...

And yet...

...

And for today's news...

The infamous Osaka Conflict worsens as relations between those with an outcry of ishii use being outright forbidden, and the ICA itself trying to scale down the controversy and growing opposition, still splitting apart the city of Osaka-

Many injuries and even deaths are being reported by the police force there working with the ICA, with rumors of the JSDF joining in to stop such commotion, it is no wonder this modern national crisis has all eyes of not only Japan but also the entire world on its frays-

With those concerned fearing the possibility of a civil war arising over this heated conflict-

All eyes are on the ICA-

On how such a disaster-

Will be managed...

And with other news-

...

Her eyes were just glued onto the screen-

Never leaving-

Her lips were dry-

And so was her throat...

And with images of her...

Mother... on screen...

She...

Had the worst feeling inside her gut...

She didn't want to feed into this...

But...

Deep down inside of her...

There was something clearly wrong...

She could feel it...

Coming...

And she just stayed there...

Unmoving...

Starving...
