[ "Too easy" is always the great deceiver. Perceptive as one might be, the quiet and subtle movements from overhead go completely unnoticed. One of the tiles has been moved slowly, opening up a dark and unsafe place. If any of them have noticed anything, it might be a sound in their ear, easily passed off as one's ear ringing, as one might hear after listening to something loud for too long. Something was preparing; and its participation lasts no more than a second.
When Niko and Eiji's efforts have clearly failed, they'll both find that the ground below them has inexplicably changed, and together lose their balance and fall back, away from Souji and Daisuke. From the opening ceiling tile, something drops down, heavy and fast, breaking the frame of the ceiling. As it drops, the air breaks -WOOMP- and the Thing crashes down over Souji, crushing him just a foot away from Daisuke, before any damage could be done to the boy. Only Daisuke would have glimpsed the scene in its entirety.
By the time Eiji and Niko are able to turn back and see what had happened, all that is left are the results. Souji lays on the ground, his sword arm pulled off from the pressure while the rest of his corpse has been flattened out. Bones stick out. His head is crushed. Blood covers the now heavily indented floor, and splatters of it may be found on all three of the boys. If any of them think to look up, it seems the frame of the ceiling has broken and buckles downward. One of the nearest lights has shattered completely, and sparks flare up inside of the plastic cover. From the once open ceiling tile, they'll have just enough time to glimpse Souji's sword disappearing into the shadows of a half closed tile, which closes completely the instant it's gone.
A low rumble can be heard in the ceiling for a few moments longer, and then disappears. When Souji wakes up from death his sword will be missing, but a letter in his locker indicates it has been temporarily confiscated and can be picked up already by the time he has come back from the dead. Eiji and Niko will receive a new, clean white shirt each. Daisuke will continue to be protected. ]
