[His foot stood there over Rei, unable to push past whatever was stopping him. But...
Cold, dead eyes turned to Naoya. In his head he saw a man with a gun, pointing at him. In his head he had nothing but rock and a hope and will to live. In his head this was war, there was blood and smoke and bodies and screams and he was a kid who lost his only weapon, and was fighting for something he didn't believe in anymore.
In a single motion, he pressed weight on whatever shielding Rei and thrust himself off it, right Naoya, coming in low for a strike with his leg and swiftly switching to attempt an upper jab with his elbow to the kidneys.
As for Tieria, he was just another scream on the battlefield, lost as Setsuna.]
