Black Sun Empire- Arrakis
Something was off. That Nagisa had confirmed, when the female went out of her dorm in the morning. How could've she been so unaware of those things before, and hadn't mind them?
Metronomes...
They had been hanging on the walls of the corridors, releasing a weird ticking, that pulsated through out the whole school. Back then Nagisa hadn't gave them much thought, continuing to stride to the cafeteria. But on her way, the ticking of the million clocks had became unbearable...
Now she closed her ears, trying to escape the annoying sounds, as she sat in the cafeteria. How did nobody saw the pendulums, swaying off the ceiling was beyond her...
What came next was even worse. She peeked into the classrooms, hoping to run away, but saw, that every child had put a wall clock on their desks. They just stared at them...
Nagisa's breathing sharpened... Nobody was moving, walking or talking, they seemed like only thing, that continued to have movement, were the clocks and the metronomes...
Nagisa began running in the corridors, searching for any person, who could respond to her, who could move besides her. They were all still.
Tick. Tick, tick, tick... No, no, no...
"Hey! You, there! Stop!" Nagisa shouted, when she saw someone suddenly disappear in the middle of the hall. Was that Ritsu? The silver hair. Yes, it was him. But how did he just faded off like that?
"Ritsu? Is that you? Where had you gone?" She stammered, but... Nobody answered... No one human at least... The ticking persisted...
