One moment, he's accompanying Sakura on one of her errands, relishing the time they were spending together-- and the next, she suddenly winks out of existence, vanishing without a trace in mid-air. His heart nearly seizes in his chest as the reality sinks in, all of the possibilities and implications crashing upon him. Was this Vanderwheele's doing? Was this some sort of rebound from what happened in September?
He calls out her name, frantically, hoping against hope that maybe she just turned invisible or something. But when no one replies, he can feel the panic enveloping him, desperate and strong. He didn't want to go through another stretch of time like that without her. Not again.
The buzz of his phone in his pocket, however, snaps him away from that spiral, getting him to fumble for it in the process. The moment he lays eyes on her text, asking for help, it's like a heavy weight is lifted from his shoulders, and he nearly collapses with relief. Good. She was safe. Mostly, anyway. The turtle thing was strange, but he'd question that later!!
Right now, the main priority was getting to the aquarium, and fast. After sending her a text in return, he books it towards the building, grateful it wasn't too far from where they were. It takes a lot of running and breathless questions and confusion before he finally finds the enclosure within, and he dashes immediately there once he spots her.]
SAKURA--!
[His hands slap across the glass, desperate to get to the other side and over to her but not entirely sure how. He's pretty sure he can't break it open, unless he wanted to get charged for property damage, but there had to be some way...]
Are you alright?! How in the world did you get in here?!
