[It's inevitable. Even with a close eye on the bright orange of Kim Kitsuragi's jacket, the chaos and mad surge of confused, terrified people is far too disorienting. In time, Kamui loses him, leaving him all alone in the blurry white haze of steam and noise. And without delay, the harsh crack of gunfire rends the air again, from all directions. There's no time to go looking for Kim: he's a grown man, more than capable enough in a mess like this. Kamui needs to focus here and keep his head on straight, lest he get shot in the street.
(And yet, a part of him can't help wondering-- is this the part where he dies again, hopping right back to the beginning of the loop?)
But one of those dark-clad youkai rushes past him, firing shots blindly into a panicked, screaming crowd that immediately scatters. Are they the ones who started this? Could he actually stop and interrogate one? Kamui doesn't hesitate, breaking off into a sprint after the youkai in black.
As soon as the youkai is in his sights again, he realizes he isn't as along as he thinks he is. There's the shape of a person just ahead of him, but he can't even make out whether they're a lost soul or some innocent youkai caught up in the scuffle-- and those shots ring out again in their direction.]
Watch out!
[Unthinkingly, he rushes forward to put himself between this person and the bullet. If he's fast enough, he could get this stranger behind him; if this timeline's doomed, he could, at the very least, leave it having saved one life, right?]
