    "They have reports from all over, Yokohama is out now, it goes 

from there all the way around the bay to Makuhari. It's still 
growing, and they still don't know what started it."<<

The only dark thing about this fic are the lights fortunately. I bet most people didn't think you had this kind of humor in you.
