Noe and Daniel stand atop the dome.
The battalion managed to beat back Kamiyama's forces at the cost of half of their task units.

Without ample soldiers guarding the humans, how easy it would be for Kamiyama to pick the race off.
Noe and Daniel's gazes shift to Jinn and Feng Mian. The battleground is empty - save for pools of blood, fallen teeth, and the two. On the ground, with his head squeezed between his knees, Jinn trembles. Feng Mian bends her knees, gently peering into Jinn's balled-up form.

To keep himself from brutally battering Feng Mian, Jinn turns his head and pushes it into one knee. Pulling apart his lips in strain, Jinn's teeth bare against his knees. Enamel and soft cloth meet.
