To the side.
Faster.
Too fast.
He smiled incorrectly.
Wide.
Cracked.
Mad.
Bright.
Fall. Snap.
He recalled.
WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
He spun faster.
Air bent around him.
Stairs shifted.
Step one was to connect.
BSSSSHHHRRRRR
It didn't budge.
It didn't resist.
It merely gave up.
Subaru ascended.
No—he tore through.
Tornadoes.
Blurs.
A cry that can't be heard.
Stairs trembled.
Each one individually.
Awareness.
Midway—something tried to stop him.
Not soon enough.
WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Gone.
Flattened.
None.
More.
Faster.
Furious.
Top—Small.
Light.
Patience.
Subaru's spinning became erratic.
Furious. Unbalanced.
Not again.
To the side.
Spinning.
He lashed out—a slip.
A little bit.
The smile remained constant.
Continued wide.
Continued not working.
Fall.
Crack—slip.
The smile remained constant.
Continued wide.
Continued not working.
For this time—
He had worsened.
