[The world was crashing in.
Well, not quite that bad, but close, floors and ceilings creaking with the stress of the fire, flames crackling, and the quicker sounds of someone moving around in an attempt to escape the fire.
Kid had gotten distracted in the library, a combination of exploring and arranging that had gotten him distracted enough that he hadn't immediately noticed the fire. Add the distraction to an utter lack of a human self-preservation instinct (he's never needed one, always been able to beat things back or teleport out or heal instantly), and you have one teenage death god, trapped in a burning library.]
