Kouki Arakawaâs Point of View â 18 Hours Earlier
Despite not being made by Noa, and despite not even being turned on, the military-use powered suit was more than enough to absorb the impact of my landing.
After the impact, I couldnât hear anything going on around me. I knew Iâd successfully been launched into the river from the 83rd floor, but that was it.
The problem is what to do now. Is the gun I was given safe in my belt? After leaving the suit, Iâll need to shake the water out of it, but itâs Russian-made, so it should still shoot. Iâll be in trouble if it wonât shoot. Then Iâll need to remember everything Macho Man taught me about how to flee an enemy within a city.
âLet me think... I canât carelessly fire a weapon in crowded civilian areas,â I murmured. âJust drawing a weapon will cause a panic, and that panic will attract the attention of my pursuers. I also need to make sure I donât act suspicious. My pursuers will be looking out for people acting strangely.â
This is fine. I know I can escape. And if I donât call for an extraction team from somewhere safe, Anton and I could both die. All right, here goes.
Having mentally prepared myself, I used the suitâs emergency purge system, causing a hatch to be vigorously blown off the suit. The suit immediately began to fill with water.
Even though it was August, the water was still cold. I had no choice but to endure it as I held my breath and waited for the force of water flowing in to subside so I could exit the suit.
Looking up, I could see the lights of Moscow shining on the surface of the water.
According to the lieutenant colonel, the water was 15 meters deep, so I didnât think Iâd have trouble holding my breath long enough to reach the surface. I kicked my legs and struggled toward the surface, but my clothes were wet and heavy.
At length, I broke through the surface. Barely able to keep my head above water, I swam as far as a waterway that connected to the river and grabbed onto a ladder that went up to the shore.
âI thought I was going to die,â I said, gasping for air. âNo way am I ever doing that again.â
The water that had entered my nose was still stinging as I climbed the ladder up to a footpath where I found a woman in her 50s watching me with suspicion.
I smiled awkwardly and tried to explain myself.
âI got drunk and fell into the river,â I told her in Russian, taking care not to speak with an accent. âThe waterâs so cold at night.â
She was still watching me in surprise. âI heard a loud noise that sounded like something falling into the river and came out to take a look.â She spoke to me like a mother scolding a child. âYou know that falling into the river while drunk could kill you? And youâre just a boy.
