Sakura
July 25, 2:22 pm, New York City, USA
Sakura and Irade walked in silence. The sky was still overcast; if anything it looked like it was going to rain. In the distance, the top of the floating castle could be seen above the skyscrapers, finally coming in to view of the city.
Not that there were any people left in the city to view them, aside from themselves. The streets seemed emptier than usual for some reason; that is to say, they hadn't run into any Demon Patrol yet.
"Maybe they all left," Sakura mused aloud as they walked past more abandoned buildings and cars. "Since the Castle is coming tomorrow."
Irade simply scoffed, as if the notion was absurd. Sakura fought the urge to remind her that the castle automatically killed the people under it indiscriminately; she knew that Irade already knew this.
