[Positioned like that, literally tugging on his ear, Kavinsky feels like the devil on Ronan's shoulder. Ronan glances at him, distracted at first by the way his hands are shaking. He's so tense, there's an ache in the scar where Murphy put a blade through his forearm a couple days ago. But that's not the reason he's shaking.]
Why not everything?
[Ronan's getting the hang of this. He's starting to figure out which lever does what. He sits forward and pulls a few, sending the crane lurching forward and directing the arm to the very center of the ferris wheel. It hooks under a crossbeam and tangles there, sparks flying from the screaming metal. It sounds kind of like Godzilla dying, a dragging moan of anguish.
The ferris wheel tips in slow motion. Ronan's eyes grow wide as he stares at it, not wanting to miss a single frame of the destruction. He's had dreams like this.
(Has Kavinsky?)
Gravity takes over, tearing the ferris wheel free of the crane arm, and it hits the dirt with a shockwave that seems to make the earth tremble. Or maybe Ronan only thinks it does because the crash that follows the impact is so loud.]
