Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume12 Chapter3 (section)

===Part 6===

At a home in Kanagawa, Kamijou Touya hung his head. The large LCD TV linked to his computer still coldly displayed the word “offline”.

They had cut his connection.

They hadn’t let him reconnect.

None of it made sense.

With Academy City’s wall in the way, the Kamijou couple felt literally shut out.

His parents should have been at the center of it all, but they weren’t allowed in. With all the complicated paperwork, the remains would be burned before they could get inside the city.

“Gh…”

He had failed to protect his child.

Worse, he hadn’t even managed to learn how that life had been lost.

The ashes would apparently be returned to them, but what did that matter?

That powder would have been burned until nothing of the DNA map remained, so how could they even prove that was their son? How could they accept that!?

Someone placed her arms around his shoulders from behind.

But he had no response to his wife’s comfort.

“To hell with…Academy City,” groaned Kamijou Touya, his voice catching in his throat.

The black screen refused to provide any kind of response.

“Why would they cut the connection like that!? Our son is dead! And they just- we’re not a chatbot on a corporate website!! You can’t expect us to accept a death so easily!! Owwwwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
