The wall exploded, and Ryu was gone.
One second he'd been standing beside Jin in the corridor, staring at Nayeon as she stepped through the hole she'd made. The next, his whole body had turned to iron, and he'd thrown himself at her like a falling building. He wrapped both arms around her from behind before she could turn and drove straight through the far wall with her, out into the open air of the hall three stories below.
Jin heard the crash a second later. KRA-THOOOM. The whole floor shook under his feet.
He didn't go to the edge to look.
Ryu had made his choice the moment he jumped. He'd bought Jin a path. Wasting it would be an insult.
Jin turned and ran down the corridor toward the double doors at the far end, the ones with the faded sign. Warden's Office. Authorized Personnel Only.
