[ In the many months he has been trapped here, this week has been by far the worst. His body is weak from mental fatigue and sheer physical exhaustion, running on empty. He’s managed a scattered total of four hours of rest across two and a half days of peril. The first night, the doll had tried to take Dranzer from him—there is now a doll-sized crater in the wall separating his room from the apartment’s bathroom. After that, the Brooklyn doll had never come after Kai without an entourage. He can only be gratified to know that he’d had the forethought to hide his arms stockpile when the doll hadn’t been around to note the location. Not that these things needed help to find weapons.
Currently, he’s moving down the fourth floor hallway, as silent as a specter. It’s with no small measure of relief that he realizes he’s lost the band of dolls that have been hunting him. But before he can get ahead of himself, he’s frozen in his tracks by the sudden appearance of something dark flying out into the corridor. When he realizes what it is, he draws back in shock, a startled noise wrenched from his throat.
He’s equipped with a handgun and a folding knife—and yet, it’s the beyblade he goes for when he spots the doll chasing after the decapitated head.
Having never seen Visi or Vice before, he doesn’t make the connection, doesn’t bother attacking. He’s clearly too late to help the victim, right? She must already be dead. ]
