[ He is not going to let go of her. He can't. Mark ignores the still-alive body beneath them, only has eyes for anyone in the fray that he actually recognizes. For any stray backpacks, or something. If he can swoop down and grab any of them... if he can be quick enough...
He subconsciously tightens his grip on Suzuha, pressing her to him. He is not going to let go of her. He is not, not ever.
We can't win this fight, and his gaze snaps back to her. Nevermind everyone below — some of theirs are breaking away. He just has to trust in that, because as his body is telling him right now, there's only so much he can actually do. As Suzuha is essentially telling him right now, too. He could at least fly off somewhere, set her down away from all of this and jump back into the fray, but what would that even accomplish?
Mark hesitates. Sighs. All of this, and for what... He tried to save some of these kids, and for what...
He dips his head. ] Yeah, okay. [ Lifts it back up. Straightens his posture in mid-air. Holds Suzuha to his chest, makes sure she is not going anywhere. ] We'll go.
[ And above it all he starts making his way towards the dense patch of trees that make up the forest proper — because surely, in there, they won't be followed. ]
