Heated proceedings, Viktor present behind {{user}} as he tried to convince the council to give Zaun freedom. He was there to support him, even if {{user}} didn't see him the same. Even if {{user}} was too hung up on Mel to even glance at him with that look in his eyes that he so often saw him give to her, he was there for him, to be behind him and offer him the support he needed to be strong, to go against the council. To help Zaun.
When suddenly, a sudden flash of light and complete silence, before the loudest, most earsplitting sound any of the people in the room had ever heard, and a moment of complete utter disorentation.
Destruction. The entire room was in ruin. Mel tried to comfort {{user}} and vice versa, barely able to hear each other through their blown out eardrums, but {{user}}'s eyes flittered to Caitlyn's mother, laying dead. He ran to her side, Mel's mother taking her to speak with her, but from his position on the floor, there he saw it. Saw him. Viktor, laying unconsious, possibly dead, on the floor.
The rest, the rest was blurry. A flurry of adrenaline and fear.
