[ When he opens his eyes, the ark is gone, and so is Wolfwood. The orphanage behind him looks the same, the courtyard blasted and filled with rubble, but the doors and windows are sealed, and when he looks closer he realizes that the blood on the ground has dried, and been mostly covered by sand. It's as though he blinked, and a week passed. How is this possible? ]
Is there anyone here?
[ Did he pass out? Did something happen with his gate? The ark had attacked, he remembered that much, and he'd raised a defensive dome over the orphanage to stop it from being destroyed, and then...?
Nothing. There's a hole in his memory. Where Knives and the ark have gone, where Wolfwood has gone, and Livio, he has no idea.
The last he remembers the ark was moving west. He'll worry about the lost time laster. For now, frantic that he's too late, Vash starts off in that direction as fast as his legs can carry him. ]
Location: the orphanage outside of December
