Description I saw that all of my friends had lost their caps, while the worst off person had skin drooping so seriously off from his face that you had to look carefully to realize who he was. All of us fled to the Futabayama Hill behind the station. After that, we stopped at a pool of water along the way to cool our feet before we continued walking. From the top of the hill, we just watched the flames belching out of the windows of buildings in the city as they moved on consuming each structure in turn.
