Cid - The Matrix Feat

Right as the perfect time to go for a nighttime stroll rolls around, I sense someone loitering outside my room.

A burglar, perhaps?

Damn, I guess things in Japan really have gotten bad.

I muse on the situation and decide to wait and see how this plays out. Not a moment later, bullets tear through the window.

Shards of shattered glass come crashing down with an earsplitting noise.

“Wait, for real?”

Who’da thunk a forgettable background character like me would ever end up getting shot at?

I feel the bullets slam into my skin.

So, this is what nobodies feel like when they get gunned down…

Suddenly, I realize that this might be the last chance I ever get to use a certain Hidden Technique of mine!

When the bullets crash into me, I manipulate my body and pour everything into that one moment.

Get ready to see how a nobody dies, folks.

Behold the power of Hidden Normie Technique: Swiss-Cheese Dance, Bloody Marionette!

My body dances in tune with the bullets striking it. I look like I’m a puppet or something.

To complete the image, I secretly tear open blood pouches and make a beautiful shower of blood rain down around me.

I become the platonic ideal of a background character dying. It’s like that one scene in The Matrix, but if all the bullets hit.
