She was screaming. He could hear her. Mike was yelling something at him, something like "panic later", but he might as well have been talking to a rock.
You failed her, Hazama's (his) voice roared in his head. You made a promise!
Mike was the one with his hand on her arm, wasn't he? That was so not right. It was supposed to be him. He was the one who'd promised to protect her. He was the one that had talked to her yesterday and told her that he'd get things done. That was...he wasn't going to stand for this!
"Hey! Don't touch--" Niikura tugged Mike away just as Shiina wormed out of his grasp. "SHIT." He could see the feathers starting to protrude from her scalp, metallic, oily feathers that gleamed in the light from his flashlight. Without thinking, he jerked Mike backwards, trying to put some distance between them and the thing that was morphing before their eyes. "SHIINA!"
