The elegant ballroom was turned into a tumult when the explosion rocked the walls and rattled the chandelier. Women and men screamed and shouted as they scrambled towards the exits. Crawford grabbed Tot's wrist before she got separated from him. He yanked her close and asked, "Where is the person you're guarding?"

Tot shook her head. "Ouka got away from me. We were becoming friends, Daddy's sister and me. Now someone stole Ouka. Tot will kill whoever hurt her!"

Rather than castigate Tot about her mission, he tugged her along with him through the tumult. Finally, he heard Schuldig. :Downstairs, Brad! I'm consoling Schön as we speak!:

:Good. This is all going to be smoke and mirrors for Schreient's benefit.:

:Understood.:

"Tot," Crawford said, finally getting them into a darkened hallway. "Schulidg has one of your sisters. You go join him. Farfarello and I will bring your other sisters along."

"Neu and Hell?"

"I'll go support your sisters. It was their job to keep this explosion from happening. I'll check on them."

She nodded and ran off towards the stairway that lead towards the basement. Crawford went the other way towards the roof. He got the chilly top of the skyscraper. Nagi was standing on the edge looking down.

"Did you handle our problem, Nagi?"

"Crawford! Stop this now!" Masafumi's voice came from over the ledge. Crawford leaned over the edge, smiling that his ploy with the bomb had worked in distracting Schreient from their master. Masafumi dangled forty-eight feet about Tokyo night time traffic.

"I need Schreient under my control, now that you've morphed them into things more like Schwarz with your formulas and surgeries. They'll be mine, now. Your death will get me what I want," Crawford turned, walked away, and said, "Nagi..."

The scream was the last thing he heard, ending the den of the tumult.
