☎ {003} - [video/action?]
[The shimmering hues of blue and whites almost blinded Kotetsu, but once the initial shock faded he found himself standing in the middle of a large ice rink. It was cold, so very cold. Kotetsu could literally see his breath before him in the form of a smoky mist.]
G-Geez! It's frickin' freezing here!
[Blowing into his shivering hands, Kotetsu paused once he saw a figure laying on the ice. At first, he swore his brown eyes were playing tricks on him. He couldn't make out the person's face but he could tell it was the silhouette of a girl.]
H-Hey?
[He called out to them but they didn't acknowledge him.]
Konnichiwa? Hello?
[A frustrated sigh escaped the old man's lips.]
Is this some kind of dream or somethin? This doesn't make any sense...
[Kotetsu let out a frustrated sigh as he made his approach towards the girl. Walking on ice is a tad tricky, so the poor guy nearly takes a dive a few times before he reaches the middle of the ice rink.]
Oi, girl! Can you hear me? Can you--Bwah?
[He trailed off immediately once the girl started to moan. She was wearing a purple skating leotard, one that had a little pink polka dots on it and a matching skirt. While the outfit was something typical that a child would wear, something about the colors and pattern reminded Kotetsu of someone.]
Polka...dots?
[Taking one step closer, suddenly the ceiling above the rink caves in and glass comes tumbling down on their heads.]
W-WHAT?! What the hell is goi---
[A terrible scream erupts from the girl once she raised her head upward. Her familiar bright brown eyes are filled with fear and tears streak down her delicate cheeks. The girl's hair moved erratically in the wind, with little glass shards now dotting her chestnut hued hair. Before, Kotetsu didn't recognize the child but now that her face was finally revealed to him; a sense of dread began to pool within his stomach.]
KAEEEEDE!
[Kaede looks back at him, her innocent eyes filled with such shock.]
OTOUSAAAAN!
[Reaching out her hand to him, Kotetsu almost reached it until several steel beams came crashing down on his little girl. Her blood spewed forth from the impact, splattering all across Kotetsu's shocked face. ]
K-Kaede...?
[He was standing in the middle of the ice rink with his hand still outstretched before him, pointing towards the rumble that claimed the life of his ten year old daughter. Frozen in that pose for a minute or two, Kotetsu suddenly fell to his knees. Kaede's blood dripped down his cheeks as he stared at the carnage before him with a haunted gaze. Unable to speak, unable to even cry, Kotetsu just sat there in a daze as his mind tried to process what happened to his baby girl.]
...no.
