Ivan had seen a lot of strange things since he'd been in Paixao. Demon overlords, sudden disappearances, magic carpets, people who didn't exist... not to mention Sin itself. After a while, you started to build up a certain tolerance to it - except that instead of becoming normal, the strangeness of the city had, at some nebulous point, become simply terrifying.
In spite of that (it wasn't as if he'd never been scared witless before), he'd finally stopped hiding outside the radius of destruction and rushed in headlong to try and do something about it. True, he didn't know where his friends were, but they'd said they would be along, and he trusted them. Actually, who was to say they weren't already there ahead of him?
The closer he got, though, his stomach knotted uncomfortably. They weren't. They weren't there yet. Sin was still standing unopposed -
Except for the flying building.
That was a new one, and the sight of it stopped Ivan in his tracks. For a second he thought Sin had just knocked it over, but no, it was flying. And towards it. As if somebody had casually picked it up and thrown it at the monster.
A second later, from the same direction, he caught sight of - what had to be someone, although moving fast enough that he couldn't make out who. But it was someone, trying to take Sin on by themselves.
That was what Ivan saw, although for now he failed to put two and two together. Alarmed, he dashed forward, but stopped a second later as if thinking better of it - "H-hey! Wait! Don't!" he shouted at the lone fighter's fast-advancing back, although at this distance (and that speed, and over the sound of the building itself) he had no idea whether the guy would actually hear him.
