[See that totally ordinary bathroom building over there? Yeah. It's totally ordinary.
If you're close enough, though, you can hear a muffled gunshot, then perhaps catch a glimpse of something crackling blue with electricity within one stall.
Then you can definitely catch a glimpse, or rather an eyeful, of the ensuing explosion.
The basic components of the toilet separate gracefully and go hurtling through the air, taking much of the stall with them. The rest of the building shudders, then sags gently outwards.
Where the toilet once was, there is now a gaping hole leading into the depths of the earth. Vague glimpses of gears and piping can be seen, but mostly it's just a large dirt tunnel, leading away into the darkness.
Stumbling out of that darkness is Akihiko, looking somewhat scorched and scraped up, rather dazed, and overall just kind of battered.]
I had no idea how big this camp was.
