" who brought me here ? " ⸻ @shameofice
it was supposed to have just been him in the forest ⸻ why was there another?
𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞, stanford jerked his body around towards sako & practically pounced on him, bringing them both down on the ground with a heavy thud. using his weight, the scientist pinned the man for as long as he would be capable of & quickly reached for his pocket. he struggled for a bit, six-fingered hand finicking around like a fish out of water, before he found what he had been searching for: a miniature flashlight.
𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, stanford flashed the light into sako’s both eyes. any sight of a peculiar yellow tint within the eyeballs would tell him the man had been compromised & was led here for some malicious intent.
“ what is your purpose for being here .ᐣ.ᐣ who sent you .ᐣ.ᐣ have you come to steal my eyes .ᐣ.ᐣ ”
indeed. stanford was going through one of his paranoia attacks.
