Scrub’s power had torn through the clusters of Merchants during the fighting, and Bryce’s new ‘family’ was no exception.

Ouch.

The girlfriend was dead, her head and shoulders gone, muscle and fluids flowing out where the flesh had been annihilated.

♪ Head and shoulders, knees and void, knees and void. ♪

The girl’s mother was a goner too.  She lay on her back, her face missing.  Had she been behind her daughter, holding her, hit by the same blast?

Man, where’s that Greenfire guy from 8.3 when we need him?

Then again, it sounds like this one’s already pretty symmetrical.

‘Thomas’ was still alive, the black man with the scar on his lips.  The man who had hurt Sierra’s friend from the church, who had literally torn the guy a new asshole, if I’d gotten Sierra’s meaning right.

It’s a bit of a different thing, morally speaking, when you’re not doing it on an Endbringer.

Thomas crawled slowly for the nearest arch, breathing hard, his face drawn with pain.  A slice had been taken out of his arm, shoulder, and a section of his back, as though a guillotine had grazed him from behind.

ouch

I wasn’t quite sure how he hadn’t died yet, with the amount he was bleeding.

Maybe he too is filled with determination.
