[Naturally, when everything gets destroyed, the first order of business is to look for the ones you are close too. Which is exactly what Misaka did

[ Shana watches this in horror. She didn't know. ]

[Misaka isn't moving away from Mikoto any time soon. But she does occasionally reach out to try and shake her shoulder, to try and get her attention somehow. Because she just. Can't be dead.]

[flameyedhunter]

She's gone... Misaka is... gone.

'She's.. right here,' Misaka tries to point out.

[...well, wasn't that interesting. A girl apparently holding a dead copy of herself. Well, a twin was the most likely explanation, but who knew, with the clones and resurrection copies.]

Have you checked her pulse?

[Not that she has much hope. Just a cursory glance tells Naze that she's most likely dead.]

[misakanetwork]

[Misaka nods ever so slightly at the sound. She has, and it doesn't make any sense what so ever, because Mikoto could never be dead.]

[notawhale]

I see. So you should know already.

I'm surprised; most of us who are here seem to have come out of this unscathed.

'She's fine,' Misaka attempts to reason. 'She just wont get up.'

[Even though she knows that dead people don't come back to life.]

[ She isn't the only one who's there. Sometime later - far too late, no matter how you slice it - Touma is standing beside her and staring down at the same sight. He'd be doing so in silence if he wasn't panting so hard from the run over here.

So much devastation.
So much pain.
So much death.

It's almost too much for him to grasp, much less deal with. ]

[For once, Imouto is completely ignoring Touma's presence, focused entirely on the limp body that was her originals.]

[so_misfortunate]

[ They remain like that for a long while, as sounds of people digging through rubble, running down the streets, or calling out to one another echo over the now-desolate landscape.

Things... can't end like this. ]

Get up. [ It's not clear who he's talking to. His words are quiet, but there's still some conviction behind them. ]

[misakanetwork]

[It's not clear whether she heard Touma or not, but she's not moving other than another attempt to rouse Mikoto.]
