Running into the next cart, you find the person affected by Q's curse, and you immediately dodge a blast that just barely hits your head.

Taking in the scene around you, there's at least two windows broken, air blowing into the train compartment, your hair undoing itself and flowing wildly around you. Outside the window, you can see the blue of water sparkling under the sun, but inside the train and in front of you, there's only red spread around, people crouching and shaking, crying in fear. There's a small girl holding Q's crazy doll, her eyes wide with fear, paralyzed.

A woman with a seemingly kind of fire ability is the one affected by the curse, and she shoots wildly around at the sign of any movement. She keeps repeating some words, but it's too incoherent for you to understand.

Your heart beats wildly as you think of a plan to stop her, and all you can think is to jump in recklessly, as you weren't carrying any weapons, and your ability wasn't meant for combat.

If only I could reach her without getting more people hurt.

But I can't, and I know that.

I have to handle this as best as I can. Dazai knew this could happen I'm sure.

Someone has to be on their way.

"Hey!" You yell, trying to get people to escape while you distracted the woman, but there were many injured already, and it was quite the tight situation.

Hearing you, however, the woman turns with her head tilted to the side, anger and panic in her eyes. Snapping her fingers, sparks lighting up and fire creating in her palms. The wind blows some embers around, and you know that the closer you get, the more careful you have to be.

If fire spreads, this train explodes. If I get burned, no one will stop her...but to stop Q...

Quickly, as fire shoots your way, you move towards the little girl holding the doll. You see tears in her eyes as the doll acts up.

"Miss, I need you to help me. Can you do that?" You ask softly, holding the girls shoulder gently.

The rumbling of the train on it's tracks makes it hard to concentrate, the burn on the cart door a painful reminder you had to hurry up.

The little girl doesn't respond, but you desperately keep trying.

"My name's [l/n] [f/n], I'm with the Armed Detective Agency. I'm going to save everyone here, but I need you to help me too. I need you to get this doll away, and I need you to find a man named Dazai. I'll give you my phone, but I need you to hurry. Can you do that?" You plead, screams erupting as the woman attacks another person, holding them against the window, her hands lighting up to burn them.

"Please"

The little girl then nods and you help her stand up. Needing to help the others though, you run towards the woman and push her to the ground with all the force you can, getting her to let go of the person she had been holding.

The both of you land on the floor with a big thud, and you groan as the woman yells at you, grabbing hold of your wrist, her hands heating up slowly but her grip comparable to an iron clasp.

Shit.

You hear the compartment door open and close, and you breathe a sigh of relief that even if everything goes downhill, at least Dazai could handle the curse and Q.
