[ Shion doubles over. He should have expected such a strength from Sinclair, but he didn't and now he's paying for it. He coughs and gradually gets back to his feet, gripping the handle of the knife as if that's his lifeline. The virus attack intensifies from within Sinclair. The rook isn't giving up at all. A formidable hacker who was Aria's age, and didn't become a Gauntlet Knight? Meanwhile, Oria is definitely passed out from that forehead slam. Want to check for a fracture later?

"You think I'll let you die satisfied? After all you did?"

But he really can't continue despite how much he wants to. Sinclair is right there. He could kill him right now if the virus finishes infiltrating him for good. Who cares if he dies in the process--

It happens in a blink.

Shion disappears in less than a second--a horizontal motion blur replaces him. Sinclair, of all people, should be familiar with what kind of speed is used here: a Gauntlet Knight's speed that a commentator usually can't even keep up with. However, Sinclair can see a glimpse. That person... looked like they could have long, black hair. It's a blur of colors... or a lack of it.

The commotion dies down, Oria is still knocked out, and the virus hasn't given up yet.

What will Sinclair do now?
