The ceiling collapses with an immense noise, and the events after are a complete blur. At the last second, something strange happens. Again, your surroundings spread in gridlines, horizontal and vertical, glitches of the matrix filling the vignettes of your peripheral vision.
It's like time stops... and then flows somewhere else.
You don't remember how you managed to get out, but you must have. You vaguely recall the sound of police sirens and lights being flashed into your eyes, checking for a response. They ask you questions and you answer them with little thought where it comes automatically, and don't where you can't. They take you away on ambulances, declaring you to be in deep shock and in need of urgent care.
The less generous interrogate you on the events, what happened, what contact you had with the killer. Boss pulls strings to get them to leave you alone, getting what information she can get from your AIs so you can get the rest you deserve.
Nimona, Hana, and Sigrun are declared survivors and will recover, though Nimona will retain a permanent injury. Hana's arm will leave her lame, destroying her dreams of being a professional gamer. Sigrun is quiet and speaks to you rarely after, leaving the city to rest in greener and quieter pastures, some place less dangerous than this city. She really got roped in just because.
They send people to dig through the rubble once it's deemed safe enough to do so but they don't find Hung, Luffy, nor Iris. They bring you back the straw hat and the coat as a keepsake, but that's it.
