Faux's blast scatters the ribbons causing a hole for him and any near him to move through and giving better aim for Nozomi to blast through to the mirrow. The ribbons retreat from it, just to hurl themselves at her instead attempting to wrap her up.

The ground shakes again, more ice cracking. Kiyoiri doesn't hit the ground. Instead she falls and falls again, looping back to standing just before the impact hits. It's possible to pull her out of the loop but she can't do it alone and it seems Takechirou is in a similar loop, firing the same bullet over and over.

Snow begins to fall onto Wei Wuxian heavy and thick as if trying to weigh him down.

A thick band of ribbons swipes at Masumi to try and knock her backwards into a waiting net of burning ribbons.

Still the ground shakes, flashes of colour sparkling. Flowers bloom in the cracks and die just as quickly.

"Activate the device!" The voice cones from a ministry worker who is himself trapped, struggling against ribbons.
