Midnight creeps around as always, but this time something goes...  Sideways.<br/><br/>Those still awake watch as every piece of electronic equipment dies.  It just powers off with the typical blink but nothing anyone does gets them to light up once more.  Then watches are checked, and they too have stopped.<br/><br/>Frozen at 12:00:00 if analog, dead if electronic, and once more no amount of adjustment seems to get to work.  And yet all this work has to be done by moonlight as no device seems to want to operate.<br/><br/>Masato and Hikari when they go check on their parents find them completely peaceful but no amount of contact gets them to wake up.  In fact they look to be stone gray statues, but the lack of clarity seems to make that hard to see, and they still feel like flesh if a bit strange.<br/><br/>Even the phone system seems to be affected as there's nothing when one picks up the receiver.  Nor do the cellphones if they would just turn on.<br/><br/>Matt has to deal with a dead computer, which even checking the fuse box says nothing is wrong.<br/><br/>Jessi wakes up startled as everything goes dead.  None of the usual sounds that help her get used to the life here is active.<br/><br/>Ichigo is woken by her 'youngest' elder brother, "Hey, Strawberry?" His fingers scrape along her slim shoulders and collar bones, "You still with me?"
