A/N: The challenge theme was 'Renewal.'

Ginji stared out, disbelieving, mottled hand curled against a polished pane. Passers-by ignored him – an old drunk, half-standing from his seat, eyes trained into the distance – eager to hurry past the noise.

Behind them, the Tower crumbled.

Construction workers swarmed around the base of the complex, ants surveying fallen prey. A renewal, they called it. They'd probably build an apartment block. More employment opportunities. Ridding the city of the slums.

There were probably still people in there.

Ginji thought of fonder days, of Paul and Shido and Ban. All gone. Was it really so long ago?

He shut his eyes.
