[Yes! Actually, there's a nephilim power...some of them can move as fast as a blink, as long as no one is looking directly at you.

Want to see if you have it?

There's impish intrerest, excitement. Maybe if they take a route out of the city, or go up high enough no one's looking up...they can get to Amusement Mile with plenty of time.]

[Ah... Nephilim have that power, do they? I hadn't even considered something like that...

If they can fly up high enough where no one could see them, then perhaps he could move fast enough to buy them some time? It's definitely worth a shot.

Komaeda unfurls their wings again, stepping closer to the edge of the building as he does. It's different, starting flight from so high up. He'll have to trust what Atem has taught him, and the winds both. Atem will notice, immediately how stepping up to the ledge quickens their heartbeat—but he isn't hindered by it this time. This time, he spreads their wings far and when he slips from the edge, it's nothing short of a trust fall. Trusting in himself, but also in Atem to catch him, if need be.

The need doesn't come though. Their wings catch the air and with both pairs alternating, he pushes them both higher and higher into the sky, until the city below feels like it's of a completely different world. Once they're high enough, Komaeda glances around—ensures that there couldn't possibly be anyone looking at them—and then positions them in the direction of Amusement Mile. He's not sure if it's simple movement or a spell, so he just takes off.

Let me know if I need to do anything more, Atem-kun! Let's see how fast I can get us there...!]

[Yes!!

Atem's hopeful they'll be able to make it to Amusement Mile in time to spend some time together...and, if Komaeda has this ability, it'll really help. They're up high, nobody is looking...

For Atem, it's not a spell. It feels like a release.

As a neph, when he's being looked at, he feels like a butterfly pinned to a display: limited to slow, restricted movement, unable to move how he should.

When no one is looking, it's like the pin is gone, and he can actually, truly fly.

If no one is looking, and the pin is pulled out -- then, around them, the clouds seem to move at half speed, but the air beneath them is as solid as ever. They will be able to tear through the sky, the air behind them filling in the space left behind like an afterthought.

Of course, if someone looks up, the pin will go back in, and moving through the world will feel like wading through water. But until then, they're free.]

[Luckily, no one's looking up.

In the sky, it's truly difficult to gauge just how fast they're moving; but in reality, it's miles within seconds, even if the feeling of the air around them and the clouds that pass them by doesn't seem to reflect that. If anything, it's nothing more than soaring at heights he'd never known before from outside of a plane cabin. By the time Amusement Mile has pulled into view, it's only been a matter of a minute or two, which is good, considering that they don't have much time before Atem's spell wears off.

Komaeda takes them down, landing as gracefully as he can manage as a new nephil smack-dab in the middle of the park. Carnival music plays jovially around them, with lights flashing and rides going on loop regardless of rider aboard. He takes in the sight with an ounce of childlike wonder.

Oh, wow... That was much faster than I expected? Now that we're here, is there anything you recommend...?]
