TEAM SNOW WHITE

READY: START Team Snow White roster: Davey Jacobs, Eleanor Lamb, Fang, Kasen Kanesada, Malik Ishtar, Mari Ohara, Riku, Ritsu Kageyama, Ryoji Mochizuki, Toushiro Hitsugaya, Yuri Plisetsky. The city's been under siege for what feels like hours. It's only on August 3rd that you learn it's been a matter of days. Monsters begin pulling Retrospec users through portals left and right, large gaping holes in reality that spit you out in any given location around the city. However, just as you think you're finally getting away, a large blue portal opens and you're snatched up. No amount of fighting and struggling will free you and soon the pressure is too great to ignore. Darkness fills your vision and the last thing you may remember is the sound of many bat wings...

[ It... was supposed to work. Ryoji's arms had gone out to either side of him— stop— and for a moment, it felt as if time itself had stalled. His barrier had materialized in place, hanging in front of him like a shield and he watches as the chandelier smashes into it and splinters into glass and metal that fly back at the ghost.

The shrapnel passes right through her, and the realization that his plan has been rendered ineffective sends a chill down Ryoji's spine, lodging in his throat, gripping his heart—-

The icicle had pierced him straight through the back and stuck halfway through. It stays as Ryoji drops to his knees, the ice melting and dripping black where it enters and leaves his body. His mouth opens, silent gasps as a scream fills the air: the spirit writhes in the air, clutching at her chest where it remains translucent and whole, staring at Ryoji with wide eyes. Without Thanatos, she didn't know, but now, thanks to Ritsu, Death is here. ]

[ Ritsu's steps stagger slowly towards the figures, forgetting the nursemaid completely even as she twists in agony, kept in place. ]

Ry...oji-san... Ryoji-san. Hey... you're joking, right?

[ Why did you do it? Why did you try to protect him again? That attack was aimed towards him. He clutches at Ryoji's arm, tears rapidly forming in his eyes as he starts weakly shaking him. ]

... Hey...

[ His resolve is weakening with Ryoji's lack of reply. As he begins coughing from the smoke again, he wraps his arms around Ryoji into a hug from the side, ignoring everything else burning around them. What had he done. ]

[ Ryoji doesn't move, for fear that if he does, he'll make the damage worse. Numb, he can barely feel Ritsu's arms around him, but he takes some comfort in being held together like this— like this, it's fine; like this, he can't feel pain. The same way a knife left in a stab wound will plug the blood vessels and keep one from bleeding out, the ice does the same for Ryoji.

A second passes. Another drop of black falls to the ground.

We'll be alright, Ryoji thinks, watching the nursemaid stumble back into the flames. He doesn't know what happened, how or why, but something had affected the ghost and now, everybody can come together and take her down. Was it something Ritsu did? He can talk with ghosts, Ryoji vaguely recalls, and if that's the case...

His lips part, but fail to form the words he wants: Thank you. Instead, he closes his eyes, and smiles. ]
