[The last time Amos had seen Hayame there was a bone shard sticking out of her leg. Now, she strides purposefully and quickly through the forest (the garden weeds), over the hilly fields (a furrow in the soil) beside the one who had healed her and helped her find and take a new object to attempt and erase her failure to capture the bell… and she has no idea that there is something moving beneath her feet.
How would she? She is a hunter who relies on sight against something that she cannot see, on smell against something hidden by the scent of dirt, on hearing against something magically passing silent through soil. There is no predicting the sudden burst of earth in front of them, no time to finish a reaction to the snatch of prism from Dimitri’s hold. She gets her bow out, the arrow notched-
But then their assailant laughs… and without a single moment of hesitation Hayame snarls and fires. She sights with the cackle, the call for help…
Then an all too familiar pressure hits and nearly brings her to her knees. A stumble, she catches herself, forces her legs to support her and move forward, but twisted by the weight she cannot raise her bow high enough or long enough—
But she can scream after them even as she tries to wrap her head around what just happened?!]
