The night sky presses against the tip of the tower, billowing clouds cover the top, bursts of thunder boom, lightning like a wild python illuminates the billowing clouds.
Water pools around pedestrians' ankles, a curtain of water pours from the eaves, sewage backflows from the drains, it's as if Tokyo is about to sink into the sea.
The headlights of the Lexus pierce through the rain, speeding along the C3 Bayshore Line, screeching to a halt under Tokyo Tower on the First Keihin Road, the hot tires drenched by cold rain sizzle loudly.
A perimeter line is drawn around the base of the tower, officers in raincoats waving red traffic sticks, dispersing vehicles and crowds.
The Police Department formed another command group, with Kujo Yua personally overseeing and deploying the perimeter line.
To prevent the heavy rain and night from affecting the snipers' vision, she brought in three helicopters, illuminating Tokyo Tower with searchlights from different angles.
