shirai gets shot

A deafening sound rang out.
Shirai Kuroko, the floor lamp raised high above her head—in other words, with her
whole body exposed—slowly looked down at her waist.
A dark red hole had opened in the gut of her uniform, and a strangely colored liquid was
dripping from it. A moment later, the window behind her displaying the night view of
the city shattered into tiny pieces.
With the air conditioner’s effectiveness dampened, the warm night air came inside.

Shirai’s body tilted backward.
It seemed like the lamp’s weight had gotten the better of her as she collapsed straight to
the floor.
“Hah...” Musujime Awaki laughed, her right hand trembling hard. White smoke
billowed up from the pistol her hand was holding. “Ha-ha...”
She had managed to take down Shirai Kuroko as she came for her.
