Hearing no reply from Mal, Fuyuto heard Rena's pointless question that was directed to no-one. He turned to her to see if she was okay. She looked fine, but wanted to ask to be sure. As his mouth opened to speak, he could hear screams in all directions. Turning around, the red crystal's light was brighter than before, almost white. Tendrils of light came reaching out to people from the red crystal. People were glowing and vaporizing those who were touched by it. This frightened Fuyuto. "What the hell is happening!?" he exclaimed. He scanned the room. There was almost no-one left. However, he could see that some were touched by these tendrils, not disappearing. [i]Is this supposed to be some sort of test of compatibility?[/i] He thought.

The light had finally reached to him, his odds were slim. So many others were killed, he expected the same. He braced himself, and then ... energy. Fuyuto opened his eyes, there was no pain. His body wasn't glowing in the same way that everyone else did. It seems he wasn't going to die. Looking at his right hand, he could see the light wrapping around his hand. He felt relieved ... for a moment. 
[i]Wait, what about Rena? And Mal? What happened to everyone else?[/i] His thoughts were chaotic as he turned to Rena. It appeared it didn't reach out to her yet, but it would only be a matter of time. He stared at Rena, hoping she would be safe, and that Mal was too. While staring, he called out for Mal. "Mal! Still alive!?" He waited, for a reply he had hoped would arrive.
