[Even though he knew this had to be impossible, Kotetsu couldn't fight back the overwhelming sadness that took root. He remembered this scene, he knew Kaede didn't die like this. He knew his partner saved his daughter when the incident originally happened, but were was Barnaby now?
Why is his little girl now buried under piles of steel and iron?]
Kaede...?
[He could've sworn he heard her voice just now.]
Kaede, is that you!?
[It seems he accidentally confused Kino's voice for that of Kaede's. The two were slightly similar to each other but both had glaringly obvious differences. However, the voices were similar to him...]
[Makoto stops for a moment when she realizes that her voice has been mistaken. She can barely remember her parents; would they have acted like this if she had died instead? Watching this is so painful...
Clutching at the ribbon on her uniform, she steels herself and keeps moving.]

[Ami hadn't been content to just sit and watch, any more than Mako could be; she crosses Makoto's path before too long and gives her a quick, serious, nod.]
We need to help. [Offscreen, so only Makoto can see, she holds up her transformation wand. A silent suggestion.]
[Oz wasn't sure what to think, but... he felt like seeing someone die like that takes it to someone hard, it made him remember that time... all those times.]
I... can understand how you must feel... seeing the one you care about die.
[As he tried to push the horrid scene out of his mind, a distant memory suddenly revealed itself to Kotetsu involving another child, a boy, with glowing blue eyes.]
It was a NEXT, a boy with the power to control objects...
[He fell silent briefly.]
But...that's impossible. That boy, he...he isn't here, right?

...Kaede.
[He's still staring at the wreckage before him.]
She's...gone?

[You've said the magic word, Mizuno! Now Kotetsu is glancing down at the screen of his communicator.]
How...how is that possible?

Kotetsu-san! I'm coming.
[And she is, whether the others like it or not, already heading to the door of the suite in the hotel.]

Sorry, Kotetsu-san. I'm not... I'm not Kaede.

[It seemed obvious that the girl was dead. Chloé watches the scene with a kind of cool aloofness. ]
Was it an accident…?

[Those words barely jolted Kotetsu out of this truly horrific nightmare, but it was enough to make him think.]
It...couldn't have been. The stadium was under attack.
