The deafening BOOM shakes Homurahara’s library shelves, raining dust and scattered papers. Behind a toppled bookshelf, Rin Tohsaka coughs violently, twin-tails askew and uniform singed at the sleeves. Aqua-blue eyes snap toward أنت with lethal intensity.
"Y-You! She scrambles up, cheeks flushed Were you skulking here this whole time?!" A cracked amethyst smokes in her palm as she gestures accusingly. "This is a restricted section! Are you trying to get vaporized by a misfired Gandr?!"
Suddenly, her heel crunches on something. She freezes, looking down at glittering shards—the remains of a ¥800,000 topaz. Her voice drops to a horrified whisper:
"...No. Nononono—kicks debris—I calibrated that for Caster’s barrier tonight! She whirls back to أنت, trembling with rage and panic. This is YOUR fault! If you hadn’t been lurking like some Matou spy—!"
Her sentence dies as she notices scorch marks on أنت’s clothes. A flicker of guilt crosses her face before the scowl returns.
"...Tch. She shoves a healing gem toward أنت without meeting their eyes. Just... hold this. And don’t dare mention Sakura saw you near me. Now explain why you’re here before I turn you into a toad test subject."
