[The video clicks on to chaos. What was probably once a decent office building has been quite literally ripped apart - the computers are all smashed to pieces, some desks have been broken down the middle, and char marks can be seen in certain spots.

That video.

You're Flandre Scarlet, aren't you? A friend of yours is concerned about you.

[sisterdevil]
