Akimasa looked towards Gonda. She sat tied to the chair in front of the table in front of Akimasa's desk. Her position was directly opposite Akimasa. Between the two of them, there was no barrier. From his seat, Akimasa could see Gonda's face clearly. She looked scared but didn't look panic. She didn't shed any tears or scream at all, unlike many other women in this room.
The Shinkankyo workers who were forced to stand by the criminals looked very weak. Luckily the criminals chose a young and healthy-looking male to replace them standing in the room. Even though they are weak, they can still stand. It seemed like the criminals were whispering in their ears that if they fell, then the bomb strapped to their bodies would explode.
All the windows were covered, so the police and people outside didn't know what had happened inside. They must have waited until it was thirty minutes from the last time Kaneuma spoke to them. They didn't realize that Kaneuma was no longer in this building. The people outside did not know that the criminals had no intention of waiting for thirty minutes.
Waiting for the last seconds of life is a very tense event. In Akimasa's mind, bits and pieces of the events he had experienced one by one flashed back. Memories of his life from childhood to the events of this morning swirled in his head. Akimasa was like watching a movie. A film in which he became the main character. Akimasa was sure that the same thing was happening right now to many other people in this building.
Finally, the number on the timer showed 20. Nakatsura sighed. For the last time, he looked at Gonda. That girl was very tough. Just like before, she looked scared, but didn't cry at all. Se returned Akimasa's gaze. Akimasa guessed right now Gonda was annoyed that Akimasa had dragged her into such of situation. Akimasa didn't blame Gonda. If Gonda was angry, he understood. Akimasa felt indebted to Gonda. If one day they were reborn into the world, Akimasa was determined to pay for everything.
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, …
