When the tendrils started shooting out and vaporizing people, Rena screamed, and curled into a ball. She couldn't watch this happening. She couldn't even deal with it. She started sobbing into her knees. If it was going to kill her, why didn't it hurry up? She'd never seen someone die before, let alone on this scale. It was...mortifying.

The tendril left her.

She didn't move for several seconds, too stunned to talk or think, before reality started flooding back to her.

"Hello?" She shouted, with a weak voice. "Who else is here?"
