The panic was all around them, people pushed past to get to their own cars so they could flee and professors were rushing around trying to help the injured. Michi caught sight of a fellow quodpot player cradling her arm, blood dripping from her fingertips. Michi brushed the back of Yori's head too keep his eyes down and comfort him all in one. Finally, a surge of passersby pushed Michi and Yori forward, forcing her to follow Akio and Mika.

She tried to fight the crowd but ended up at the main gate with her parents anyways. "Don't take him," Michi said as Mika fought her for the little boy. "I can protect him," she said, tears in her eyes. "You don't know what's out there..."

"Is this about my being non magical?" Mika asked, giving Michi a good whack across the head.

Michi winced but her grip remained firm. Distracted momentarily by her jiggling phone in her pocket she had to check. She sighed in relief, Hunter, and tapped back a quick reply with one hand. "We're gonna stay here with Hunt, we'll be able to take care of him."

"Michiko Anna Passos!" Mika shouted as Michi tried to fight the crowd trying to get out the gate. "If anything happens to him..."

Michi turned and glared at the woman. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself but thanks for the concern," she took off running with Yori in her arms. Looking around for Hunter or Mack. She needed to check in with them, to see them.
