Seems you two were part of the same japanese experiment

You were scared, feeling helpless. You thought this was probably the last view you'll see. You close your eyes while partially taking cover as the hit is about to strike you.

It's taking too long, why is it taking too long ? You take a look, there's nothing. The threat is gone, evaporated. All is left is the man in black with a hat. You don't know who he is or how he did it, but you'll be forever grateful that he saved your life. As he's starting to fade away as well, you feel peace.
