Even though the crystal beings were not strong, they were strong enough, and it was five against one.
He shattered two, trying very hard to not see the faces, but the voice inside him gasped with each one.

(Izumida-san... Toudou-san... I know it's not them, I know it's not them...)

Then two were on him relentlessly, weakening him with vicious strikes to his legs and arms before they fell on him, pinning him to the ground.
Fukutomi grunted in frustration. He couldn't even cast anything like this- If he was going to go, he needed to fight to the last-!

He looked up to glare at the figure looming over him, and something within him shuddered.

('No! It's not me- it's not me!')

The crystal being wearing Manami's face smiled and looked down with an intense eyeless gaze before lifting his spear high and without hesitation drove it through Fukutomi's chest.

('Don't-! Don't!')

"Aargh-!" Fukutomi cried out in frustration and loss, those being the heaviest emotions despite the intense pain. Had the information even been found? Those two... they had to get out... with it...

('Don't...')

And he could do no more.
