Another disclaimer about my recent post, Anaru's brain was going a mile a minute, that's why the time it took for the explosion to happen seems so long. (I should probably just explain it better in my post, then disclaimers won't be necessary..)
Thank god I added that last part about his left hand creating another exposition to block the punch. If he didn't, maybe his hand would be vapor... atleast now it only looks like a pretzels.
