Chapter Text
Kenji's pov:
Time seems to slow for Kenji as the pteranodon crashes through the glass, wrapping it's talons around Ben's middle.
The smaller boy is plunged from Kenji's reach but Darius acts quickly, snagging Ben's hand as he falls past.
Ben's eyes are wide with fear as he dangles from Darius's grip and they're shouting to eachother over the wind but Kenji hears nothing but a dull buzz in the back of his skull.
Suddenly the two boys hands slip apart and Ben falls... down and down into the harsh jungle below, and then he's gone.
Darius is on his stomach, reaching into the air, his face a wet mess as he screams Ben's name into the night. Tears stream down his face, whipping away in the wind.
Kenji is frozen, barely noticing anything around him, the rattle of the monorail, the cries of his friends. He just stares, dumbfounded and broken at the spot Ben last was.
Ben...
He can't be gone. Please, no.
Kenji collapses to the floor, clutching Ben's stupid little fanny pack to his chest, huge sobs wracking his body.
The other drop to their knees beside him, wrapping their arms around him in a form of warm comfort. Out the corner of his eye Kenji sees Brooklynn pull Darius away from the end and tuck him under her chin where he curls up like a baby, clutching at her arm.
Sammy's tears create a wet patch on Kenji's shoulder but he can't bring himself to care. Ben was gone...
