As black symbols appear on Sonny's chest, burning their way through his shirt, Kaze spins on one foot. She has a trident-shaped punch dagger in her right hand, and punches it into and through the base of the Tattooed Man's skull.
The Tattooed Man stiffens, lets go of Sonny, and Travels. He leaves blood and brains on the dagger.
There is a dull thud from the roof, like something exploding inside a box.
Sonny is alive, but feels as though he has come most of the way to exploding without quite managing it. His chest burns as though branded with glowing iron. And his Power has come loose inside him -- it's going to explode, hard, very soon. He thinks he can still direct it out of himself, but if he doesn't, he's going to blow up.
Kaze fades and touches Sonny-Boy so he fades, too.

She hopes the lovely Gaijin will leave the room because if he -does- explode, and she can't hold him, they'll all be exploring the courts of Diyu together.
Sonny-boy will try to direct the explosion as high and as far away as He, to hopefully keep people from getting hurt.
