It didn't take long for the reinforcements to come.
"You're here!"
"What's going on...?!"
But by the time they had arrived, everything was already over. It couldn't be helped. The entire sequence of events didn't take more than several minutes in total.

He looked somewhat surprised to see me doing fine.
"Why do you look disappointed?"
"...I'm not."
"You are."
"You're right."
My lip twitched. He wasn't even trying to hide it.
