>Nyaan: B-brother, I didn't mean to-
>Chiing: Shut up and keep your head down! Don't look!

As bodies attempt to latch onto the Construction craft, Chiing shows no remorse as he sweeps them back to the ground.

>Chiing: Find your own way out! Don't even think of-

Seeing an emaciated man loading a rifle, Chiing boosts the craft towards his body, stomping the man into the ground.

>Nyaan: Y-you just...killing is evil! The evil karma-
>Chiing: I told you to keep your head down! In this world, its kill or be killed! All of these people who have spent their entire lives spitting on us are now trying to take what little we have left...they all deserve what is happening today! Mom and others were never prepared for this...but I was! If you want to survive, then just-

In an instant, a blinding flash erupts from within the colony. From this nuclear explosion, Heras begins to collapse, with Chiing's eyes being completely melted from the intense light.

>Nyaan: Brother! Y-your...!

Unable to look at the damage on her brothers face, Nyaan feels the Construction craft being pulled towards a cluster of debris. Acting on what little her brother taught her and pure instinct, Nyaan maneuvers the Construction machine through an opening into space.

>Nyaan: C-Chiing, I did it! I-

The mental strain of his senses being annihilated in an instant forces Chiing's body to cease function, his expression trapped in an open-mouthed silent scream of agony. Floating next to the derelict Construction craft, a Zaku II's eye flashes as it prepares to swipe it down, only for a Zaku I with a specialized launcher to signal it towards Island Iffish. Clutching her brothers body, Nyaan can only pray that her karma would grant her a miracle...

In the end, she was forced to make her own miracles to survive.

[U.C 0085, Colony Izuma]

Staring at the jammer device merged with a new school bag, Nyaan bows her head to Cima.

>Nyaan: Thank you for trusting in me...
