He couldn't believe it. It was Just to surreal. How did this develop from a short walk into a near-death situation?

There was no time to wonder over this, as his biggest problem right now wasn't the reason, but the effect. And the effect was…

Falling, from 100 meters above the ground. Nothing to give him a safe landing below him. But there he was, thinking back to what his life was just minutes ago. A tall man in red coat – it's all that's required to turn normal night into a nightmare. There was no escaping him, he was a being far surpassing himself after all. And so, Kuroda was closing to the point of no return, ground to be precise. But, if this was all that was meant to happen, then why he was still alive? Even if it's only a moment, shouldn't he use it in order to do his best in surviving? It was easy to tell, but a hopeless situation remains, nonetheless of one's attitude.

That's why, it was only meant to happen. People who are going to die, just die on the spot. There would be no place to gracefully fall like that from the height. Right now, he was leaving everything to his consciousness. There was nothing to fear about. In the end, when he snapped back to himself, he was already safely on the ground. There was no shock. Being shocked was just to normal to fit into situation like this. So he only looked around, and went back to his home.

If it was a dream, then he will act the way he would do in a dream – ignore any abnormalities. But if it was reality, then there was no reason to think it over anyway. As long as he was alive, that was all that counted.

But, there was one thing he couldn't get rid of. That was a feeling of being watched by a pair of eyes. Extraordinary eyes, similar to a hawk's, sending chills down his spine. Pair of eyes that felt as if they were seeing through you. "Honestly" – Kuroda thought. "Falling from a building is one thing, but those eyes are just way too creepy."
