Kuai has been watching the tower of water in almost disbelief, the grimace of pain on his face lightening for a while as he stares out towards the lake. It feels like things are frozen, like they're in the shockwave of an earthquake and the aftershocks will be coming, but haven't reached them yet.

But still it never comes.

"I don't see it anymore." But it's really too far away to tell, maybe the world eater sunk beneath the surface of the lake to emerge later.

"What's happening? Why is it hanging in the air like that?" it seems like the clouds and water should crash down into the lake and cause a tsunami to drown them all.
