[D][U] Hyperton Aftermath

Her voice echoed through him but mostly went back out the other way. "I don't see what you are so worried about. Hardly anyone that dies from this event will truely be dead. They simply get eliminated and sent back to where they came from."

He rose to his feet and followed the smoke that was going through the cracks, wincing a bit from the sharp pain that washed through him. "This must be your first event of this type. You experience 'death' of a realistic sense, but you aren't actually going to the afterlife. I've truely killed. Can you say this? Not if you are counting what you've done here. In these events, nearly everyone of us are going to die because that is the nature of the beast. If you don't like it, don't join the tournament."

He trailed off and left his words coldly lingering over the air for her to think on. He hoped that she would realize his point behind it and stop being so over sensitive, but if she didn't, he didn't have time to stand around trying to comfort children. Children were never meant to be on a battlefield. Akane would have to prove to him whether she was a child or something more.

He mused a moment over the smoke. Seeing faint glimmers of light, he finally spoke up to the weeping girl. "I think they may find us soon, with the smoke coming out from this hole. It may tell them that we are down here if they see it."
