Akira #13

There is a shrill sound that fills the air and beats against the soul. It is the sound of panic that grips the terrified citizens of Neo-Tokyo. It is the sound of the caretaker robots who carry out their orders to "protect" regardless of who they destroy. It is the sound of gunfire that rattles against the asphalt as the struggle for who will control Akira rages. It is the sound of double speak shreaking against all logic as government scrambles for high ground. It is sound and fury all for nothing against the power of Akira.
