“help him”

メﾟ.*･｡ﾟメﾟ.*･｡ﾟメ

    it is the first shizōki has seen him this vulnerable in person. the first time her heart aches as her fingers curl, just standing there watching as that monster slams him down. again and again.

    “oh! edera you're here!” shizōki looks to her left to see a small group of students surrounding a fallen body, their black and white suit sparking a familiarity in the woman.

    what is she supposed to say to them? everything will be okay? shizōki seems to freeze as the students surround her, some even sobbing into her costume.

     she's stuck, frozen as time seems to slow down. what is she supposed to do? “aizawa.” the first time they hear her speak and its sounds.. brittle. broken.

   “edera!” the students try to warn the woman and yet she doesn't hear them. shizōki hears the pouding of her own heart, hitting her ribcage with such force she has to breathe in and out her mouth.

    “aizawa!” is that her voice? that loud, hoarse, grating sound that barely travels to him.

     vines grow from the ground, traveling at a speed shizōki hasn't seen before; green and brown. it wraps around the villains arms and torso, tugging at him as he holds aizawa by his head.

   he looks... no. shizōki has to bite her tongue so the tears in her eyes don't fall. no, he's not going to. not on my watch.

   and yet with every strength shizōki hits the villain with, he never seems fazed. snapping the vines each time they wrap themselves around him. “ibara.”

     its soft. faint. she barely heard him as she cries out from the hit she received; gasping and holding her stomach in pain.

     she can't stop. not now. not when the students are in danger and not when the man she's falling for is laying five feet away from her bleeding out. with every movement she makes though, she can feel her energy run out; her skin hardening and peeling.

   shizōki takes one last deep breath in, trapping the villain in a vine cocoon before flicking her wrist hearing the satisfying demonic scream ripple through the air followed by a mumbling from the other man.

     her legs give out from under neath her, red staining her legs as her tired eyes watch a familiar man in yellow rush into action; cheers erupting from behind her. was she any help at all?

   did she atleast help three students the villain was trying to attack? shizōki's head spins as she lands flat on the ground, letting the darkness consume her as her vines shrink back to her head.
