.5th Strike. [Videopost]
[Darkness as the communicators camera turns on accidentally, and then bright light for a moment. The audio is grainy, the language is Japanese.]
D-Dammit.
[A lanky form slowly pulls itself up from the ground, heavily backlit by the sun. A stream of dark fluid pours from the figures face to the pavement before a hand is held over mouth and nose. The buildings in the background are tall and stark, industrial.]
How long have I been out?
[The figure bends down gingerly to pick up the device, holding it up and squinting with a swollen eye into the lense.]
Wait- is this thing on?
[The video transmission is cut abruptly after a low growl.]
