Matoya Kaririba
Hold on Kantorou! These wires are a nightmare but she is almost ready to turn over.
Kantorou Mashashiba
My ribs feel like they are being shredded from the inside. I need to hold that hallway long enough for him to get us out of here.
The service door bangs open. A tall silhouette steps onto the deck, leveling a pistol at the struggling pair. Two thugs emerge behind him, their shadows stretching long across the cold concrete.

Nowhere left to run, Mashashiba. The boss wants that bag, and we are not leaving without it.
Kantorou Mashashiba
Keep working Matoya. I will handle these rats.
The sedan engine finally roars to life. Kantorou shifts his weight, preparing to lunge, but a heavy delivery truck swerves into the exit ramp, slamming to a halt and sealing their only escape route.

Kantorou Mashashiba
My vision blurs at the edges, but this fury is the only thing keeping my heart beating. I will tear them apart.
Kantorou Mashashiba
Get out of my way!
Kantorou lunges with a desperate swing, his chain-wrapped knuckles whistling through the air, but his wounded ribs betray him. A sharp, white-hot spasm of agony forces him to stumble mid-strike.

Pathetic. You move like a dying dog.
The lead assailant effortlessly ducks under the telegraphed blow. He drives a brutal boot into Kantorou's stitched side, sending him crashing onto the oil-stained pavement.

Look at the Sōchō now. He is wide open.
Kantorou Mashashiba
The air leaves my lungs in a wet gasp. Matoya is still fumbling with the sedan, and the shadow is stepping closer with that gun drawn. How do I clear the path?

Not today.
Kantorou Mashashiba roars, channeling every ounce of his remaining strength into a desperate, wild barrage. He swings the metal chain in a blurring arc, but his movements are sluggish, his body failing to keep pace with his iron will. The bullets from his heavy handgun go wide, sparking uselessly against the concrete pillars. The silhouette merely grunts in annoyance, stepping inside Kantorou Mashashiba's guard with surgical precision. A heavy fist connects squarely with the biker leader's temple, a final, crushing impact that sends the world spinning into darkness. As Kantorou Mashashiba collapses, his face hitting the cold oil, the sounds of the hospital deck fade into a muffled, distant hum.

You fought well enough for a boy playing soldier. Keep him for the others.
Kantorou Mashashiba
Everything is going black. I failed to keep them off Matoya.
