It's not supposed to, but it does. As Shoko pulls, the bones don't snap so much as her skin, hard yet malleable, groans in resistance. Reiju sucks in a sharp breath and holds it when a lancing pain shoots through her arm. The discomfort tapers into a throb once the bend has straightened out from Shoko's commendable efforts, and she immediately grasps her other arm to yank it down, resetting her shoulder, with one swift motion.
Then she wrenches her other hand free, pushes a palm against her chin, and pulls her head back in a clean, harsh snap. A tight ache settles around her temples and forehead, but she ignores it in favor of staggering onto her feet, limbs properly aligned once more.]
Thank you. Let's go!
[The cars are still alarming, drawing the attention of what zombies that have made the perilous crossing over the crumbling bridge. The ground beneath them begins to shake violently as the bridge's foundation continues its collapse. Reiju's gaze flits from Shoko to a small gap between vehicles beyond the fallen steel beam, urging her to squeeze through first.]
