Ben opened the door to find his eyes blinded by a host of military lights pointed in his face. The entire building seemed to be surrounded by JSDF tanks and even helicopters, with soldiers pointing their guns at the entrance. 

Ben frowned at Shi-Jian and Mika, as they stepped out slowly, their hands raised. "Are we sure we're doing this?"

"I mean we're going to loop again anyways, might as well find out what's going to happen before it all loops."

"Oh I do believe we can handle a few accidental deaths, there are plenty in the JSDF after all, you have to give a hand to the military forces of the human race at least, as meager and weak as they are.."
