Example 1
Next. What should I do next? Give me orders...!
It's already eleven o'clock...
...Normally, what time are you supposed to contact someone?
He looks stunned.
I don't know... at all...
...So, by common sense, around when...?
He has no idea. Tobu is completely lost.
I see, I should look it up(?)...
...I mean, seriously, aren't smartphones too convenient? The fact that everyone just carries these around normally. It's strange when you think about it(?). Something's... off? Slightly... The world feels like it might end soon...
Looking at Tobu as he walks while clutching his dripping, bloody stomach.
Baku: Hey, you idiot. Sit down for a second and stop the bleeding.
Tobu: Huh? If I sit down now, I'll fall asleep.
Baku: I'll wake you up, so just sit.
