'Premonition' hadn't been something that Kazuki could say he truly believed in. Things happened without rhyme or reason, there was no magical sixth sense or the ability to predict the future. He was always skeptical of those who would claim otherwise. His stepmother was one of them, always talking about having dreams of tomorrow and claims that he had always thought were ridiculous. Once, he remembered that she told him that it was just feeling she had, that it was the human's instinct that alerted them to danger. It was ridiculous to think that anyone would believe in that to the fullest and never give any doubt to it.

Still, at least he understood why people chose to have that belief. Reality was so cruel that for some it was all they had to cling to.

Enos' death was one thing, but stumbling into the complete chaos of the final room was another. Fear and despair were all around, the group scattered as the monster carelessly tossed aside Aaganim. Kazuki couldn't take his eyes off his body, the dents of his armor telling him something grim. Enos. Aaganim. And he was willing to bet Atlas, too, judging by his missing body: all three taken down by the monster in front of them. It didn't help that final bosses were notorious for deaths even before all this went down. The weight of their very lives was on them, showing them exactly what would happen the second any mistake was made.

Alja's scream snapped Kazuki out of his trance, an impulsive decision made on his end. They needed to help everyone that could be helped, and both Luci and Priscilica were in a bad position. Despite his better judgement and knowing that the boss was going for Alja, he knew this was the only chance he would get. Without uttering a word, the healer broke off into a sprint, making a mad dash for the lone mage on the ground.

[color=98A9B1]"KAZUKI! WHAT THE FUCK?!"[/color] Benkei yelled after him.

Kazuki should have said something before he took off, but there just wasn't any time to lose. [color=plum]"I'm going for Priscilica! Try to group up with the others!"[/color] He called as he ran, holding his hand out towards Luci and the fallen Aaganim. As soon as the pair were within his range, he shouted his spell: [color=plum]"[i]Sdnuow yht laeh emit tel![/i]"[/color] There was that feeling in his chest again, but whether it was him anticipating it or the adrenaline running through him, it hardly bothered him. He was being cruelly optimistic, hoping that Aaganim would hang in there long enough.

Skidding to a halt beside the fallen mage, Kazuki realized that he didn't see any wounds on her. She was still breathing, had she just been knocked unconscious? As his eyes darted to her staff, it hit him: she had probably used up all her magic and had collapsed. His hands flew to his bag, haphazardly reaching for glass. Propping the girl up as best he could, he cautiously fed her the mana drought, trying not to accidentally choke her with the liquid.

[color=plum]"Priscilica, can you hear me?"[/color] He shook her, trying to get her to awaken.
