[About five minutes after
the explosion, this shaky video flicks on. His NV is on his wrist, and his hand is on Nill's shoulder, so at first there's a shot of an ash-covered wingtip and the billowing flames of the buildings behind them. He's talking to Nill at first, not the NV:]
--be okay. You just need to get inside b-before sirens.
[Now the camera turns to him. His face is blackened with ash as well, and glistening with bloody gashes he received from debris. Some of the cuts are so deep that the metallic skeleton of his jawline is visible. He addresses the NV:]
Explosion... Several blocks wide, a-at least. Fable Way. Our building's collapsing. S-Send help.
[He's been walking down the street all the while, and now he stumbles. There's still shrapnel and glass embedded in his body, and adrenaline can only push him so far.]
I've got an injured girl here. Please...
[He looks back to Nill, instructing:]
Keep moving. You'll go faster--
[The transmission switches off.]
