Odd Hale punches Chuuya

I see Chuuya’s eyes flicker for a second, he breaks eye contact and looks at the ground. Somethin’ in there recognizes where this is going.

Then he gets launched back fifty feet from his teammate’s punch. I stare a hole into him like only a villain can.

“What? I wanted to help,” Hale says.

“Heheh, you did help, Hale. Helped me realize this ain’t even close to dealt with.”

Chuuya gets back up, shaky, but with a smile on his face. All five of us turn to face him, and I’m getting ready for the worst.
