As his eyes scanned the page, a chill crawled down his spine. He read the headline, stark and ominous, his heart racing, breath quickening. Overwhelmed, Saito kept reading, his thoughts racing in tandem with the information.
"Hmm? What's up? What's got you rattled?" Ether's voice chimed in from behind as he approached Kana.
"Look!"
The enigma persists. No scientist or theologian can unravel it. Seventeen percent of the global populace is now missing. Some were found dead, others in dire condition, and most vanished without a trace. Reports hint at electronic devices malfunctioning prior to these occurrences. This enigma is now a global concern.
