May 10, Year X023, 3:35, Art Building lobby.
Lin Yi's "intrusion" had originally caused few ripples in the oppressive, stagnant atmosphere. But as he attracted the Grinning Angels and drew them away, the Art Students struggling to hold on felt the pressure drop sharply, and some noticed his presence.
"Holy shit, someone's... streaking?!"
"Why are so many Grinning Angels charging at him?"
"Grinning Angels... are into that too?"
People always noticed the most shocking sight first, or... sights. And the scene before them was clearly both an assault on the eyes and a tremendous shock to the Art Students' souls.
A streaker had drawn the hostility of every Grinning Angel in the lobby.

Approaching that corridor felt like stepping halfway
