(3rd PoV)
"Ugh... Why is there no signal!?"
On the night of Halloween, Yamakawa Miyako was waiting near Shibuya station, having arrived early for her date in her cosplay of She-Venom.
The goal was to do some shopping and buy some cosplay for Tachibana Yosuke, who doesn't seem to have much interest in it and was fine just going along with what she liked.
Afterall, he has already seen most of the animes and movies that are in this world in his past life. So media entertainment didn't interest him much.
Sometimes, he would even accidentally spoil the story for Miyako, and that is the one thing she hates about him.
"Huh!? There is an invisible wall here!"
Her ears perked up as she heard the noise. When she went closer, she saw several confused people trying to push against some invisible wall.
"Dammit! I want to leave!"
She looked around, searching for cameras. Who is the stupid content creator who can rope in so many people to act stupid?
Please hire her as well! She wouldn't mind making some quick money!
She only found some people recording on their phones, but no professional cameras.
She shrugged and went inside the crowd curiously. And then, she touched it.
There really was an invisible wall.
"How is this possible!?"
She banged the invisible wall, but it didn't budge even a little.
"Everyone! Clear the way! We are going to ram a car!"
With the shout, everyone cleared the way, fear creeping in their hearts.
Putting an invisible wall after so many people have entered... no human can do this.
It was clearly something Supernatural.
'Is our world actually in an anime!?'
Miyako started sweating. If their world is actually in a supernatural anime, then she is most likely just a civilian NPC with no relevance whatever.
She took deep breaths to try to calm herself down.
'The Protagonist will come, take down the bad guy who trapped us here, and save the day! Right!?'
*Honk!*
*Honk!*
A truck honked, and as the way was cleared, it accelerated along the path and rammed into the wall.
Yet, there was not even a distortion in the invisible wall. Only, the Truck's front got crushed and airbags opened.
"Is it some form of magic?"
Miyako ignored the crowd and went back to stand in front of the shop where they had agreed to meet.
If Yosuke is here, he will come to find her.
She hoped that he isn't here and is safe.
But she also hoped for him to be here with her.
-----------------
As time went on, the fear became more apparent.
And then, news spread in the crowd.
Terrorists known as Curse Users have taken Shibuya as hostage. And they are demanding someone named Gojo Satarou to come to the station.
"Who is Gojo Satarou!?"
"Where is he!?"
"Save us!"
"Mommy! Where are you!? Waaah!"
"I want to go home!"
As the crowd got more and more scared, her heart also began beating faster in fear.
Magical terrorists have taken them as hostage!
Why the hell is she a Civilian NPC in such a dangerous setting!?
She swore that when she gets out from here, she will investigate these bastards, learn magic that actually exists and isn't fiction, and kill them!
More time passed, and then, a shout came.
"The invisible wall is not here anymore!"
As soon as the shout was heard, the crowd went out of control to run away.
Miyako also started running, but someone behind her pushed her, making her fall.
"Ack!"
And then, she couldn't get up.
"Argh! Stop! Don't!"
The stampede ran over her.
As she tried to crawl away to the side under everyone's steps, a foot hit her directly on the head.
Hard.
Like Randy Orton's other finisher.
She lost consciousness, and couldn't escape Shibuya.
The crowd ran over her, leaving her with severe injuries and her head bleeding.
Some Jujutsu Sorcerers arrived to evacuate people, but upon seeing the number of people run over, they assumed that they were dead.
And having heard that Gojo Satarou has been sealed, they didn't have the time to check who is alive and try to save them.
They have to save themselves.
And then a few minutes later, Sukuna and Mahoraga started fighting.
With one of Sukuna's slashes, a building fell on Miyako, but only her legs were caught in it.
The immense pain woke her awake.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!"
She screamed as she looked at the destruction behind her.
Buildings were falling as if cut easily like butter.
A plane was crashing.
A train was in the air, sliced like a film roll.
And amidst all, amidst all the screams of the people still stuck in Shibuya, the laughter of a madman sent chills down her entire body.
'NOO! I don't want to die!'
She tried to crawl away, to escape, but it was of no use.
She couldn't move when a building was on her legs.
And then,
Malevolent Kitchen was opened in the middle of Shibuya.
Even though she was out of its range, fire doesn't spread in a controlled manner.
In fact, dying instantly by being in Malevolent's Shrine would have been preferable.
Instead, a spark of fire dropped on her, and her costume was set on fire.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH! PUT IT OUT! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
She continued screaming, loosing her mind and trying to take off her costume. But her hands have been stomped on. And she has a building on her which has also caught fire.
Miyako slowly, painfully, burned to death. With no one to answer her screams.
