[optimistical]

But won't that hurt her? We'd be breaking the glass towards her...

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Point.

... ] Not that bad, probably.

[optimistical]

[ """probably"""............... ]

... is there no other way we can get her out?

[ he already knows that the answer is no but... ]

[matchbreaker]

I could try glass cutting? If you have some tool for it?

[ She doesn't, for sure. ... She does have longer fingernails these days but that's a whole other thing. ]

[optimistical]

[ he goes through his pockets, trying to see what he has. all he pulls out is... his keys. ]

I only have my keys...

[ he's assuming that these won't work at all ]

[matchbreaker]

I have a nail file and my keys, so I'm not much better.

[ As she examines her purse. ... Mm ]

[optimistical]

[ ......... ]

... okay, let's try breaking the glass but really carefully...

[matchbreaker]

You got it!

[ and so she's ...! Going to take a fist back with her hand, wrapping that first up a little bit in a kerchief from her purse. And with her eyes going wide and cat-like? she makes to swing a punch in and connect with the glass! To try to break it! ]

[optimistical]

[ the glass surprisingly shatters with very little resistance...! just a single punch is enough to have the entire case collapse into tiny little shards. a strange smoke releases from the case and maizono falls limply to the ground. naegi doesn't run over to her right away, though that's mostly because elda is probably blocking his way ]

A-Are you all right?

[matchbreaker]

[ She steps aside to allow Naegi to get through to check on her but... she just sort of slumped there. ... Is she - she's not dead, is she? God, she hopes she didn't cause a problem with that. The small woman shakes out her hand a little bit, and then is surprised - no cuts. The glass shards seem to almost me dissolving.

... Mmm. ]

[optimistical]

[ once naegi sees that elda doesn't have any cuts and that she's relatively all right, he steps forward to now check up on maizono. he reaches out to try and pick her up from the ground but as soon as he touches her shoulder, he immediately pulls back like he just touched fire. he stares in disbelief at her for a second, something like a knife plunging into his stomach and twisting, and with a shaky breath, he reaches over once more. however, he doesn't go for her shoulder. rather, he places his two forefingers against maizono's neck, under her jawline, and-- ]

I-- I don't feel a pulse--

[matchbreaker]

[ So here's the thing: Elda actually has most of a nursing degree finished from back when she was young. So at that she bullies into the moment here to check the pulse herself, try to elevate the blue haired girl's head, and generally start to listen for breath ]

Seriously?!

[optimistical]

[ naegi moves over to the side to let elda get to maizono, though he's clearly... rattled, back to the frozen state that he was when he first saw her ]

What-- What should we do--?

[ is there even anything they can do? if she's been dead for this long in the case... ]

[matchbreaker]

[ She's not breathing and more to the point the body isn't particularly warm - at least not from internal body heat. This body has been dead for a while. How? There's no signs of it suffocating that she can see. Heart failure? Does it have any injuries or whatever?

How is she...? So young? ]
