After the whirlwind that was getting stuck in another walled off city, Mei had gotten herself entangled in one of her messiest battles yet. It had ended in her being dragged to the brink, and she had to be brought back home for treatment. It wouldn't be until the remainder of her squad had linked up with Bronya's group and gotten significant work done that she'd come back -- and in that time, so much had changed. They now actually had a more proper foothold within St. Fountain, however temporary, something that would work in their favor for the operations to come.
It would also be needed to shelter someone -- not that they knew what was going on right away.
There was an "unusual Honkai reaction near the center of St. Fountain", Bronya had told her that morning. But from the look of it, there weren't any rifts like the one from the joint squad's report, ones that drew them into another space entirely. It could have meant anything, so she opted to detach from the rest of the group to assess the situation.
...she only hoped it wasn't anything major.
The first thing Inaba will find as her eyes open is that she's in the midst of an abandoned city. Strange sinkholes that look like they came out of an old sci-fi movie, equally unusual crystals that dot the roads, even overtaking the dry fountain at the center, scaffolding that looks like it was scattered about in the wake of an intense typhoon... whatever happened here, it has definitely seen better days.
There are also monsters dotting the area. Thankfully, some of them are far, but it's not safe to be out in the open, not with how some of them seem to be drawing closer...]
oh BOY
