Shoko stumbles as the world shakes beneath her feet.

'What the hell '? ' She mutters, clinging to the wall as the whole school shudders. Carefully, she shuffles to the windows, finding her balance when the floor settles again.

Her eyes widen as she sees the smoke first, billowing in huge, massive plumes towards the sky, dark like ash as the forest blazes below. She presses her palms to the window, staring in shock out over the campus where a wildfire silently burns through the foothills.

'Fire, ' she mumbles, and then, 'fire! ' Shoko yells, stumbling away from the window as she falls into a run, bouncing with the shaking of the earth as it rattles again.

She lands on her hands and knees with a grunt of a noise through her clenched teeth, ignoring the skidding along the hardwood floor that chafes her kneecaps red. She hoists herself back up with stiff fingers clutching at the window 's ledge as the whole world tremors, hauling up to her feet against gravity.
