Hayato stares mortified for a moment. He gave it his all. Everything he had... and did it did nothing. Thus his response for the sand is a bit belated, he tries to make a dive off to the side to dodge. Unfortunately, speed on foot was never one of Hayato's strong suits, the sand quickly envelopes his left leg up to his thigh and he finds himself unable to move.

He looks down at his leg in horror, he can't form a complete thought but there's a sinking feeling in his stomach. dread just washed over him as he just knows.... this is exactly what happened to Ryohei...
