At least his timing was slightly better this time. Kyouya was fully clothed.

He was being watched.

The culprit was not in the immediate vicinity, no; there was not a single soul in the hallway. Cameras were not present in this particular stretch either. It had to have been somewhere else...

Tracing the feeling back to the source was easy enough for him. Vanishing into thin air, he let his senses guide him until he appeared in an unfamiliar room, behind the person who had presumably been watching him. A young, white-haired boy, younger than the Shining One, and even Yamato...

It was unanimous; when the Master called, you answered. An unspoken rule that was followed by all of Disaster, and Tasuku was no exception. That was why, when the three headed apparition appeared to him, in spite of the time of night, in spite of the sinking heart and looming dread, Tasuku forced himself off his bed and trudged towards Kyouya's room.

"It's me. I'm coming in."

Although, it seemed he had been a little bit too quick to answer to the summon... Kyouya looked like he had been in the middle of changing, his pale, bare back facing the doorway.

Where's Jack gone off to...?

His attempts at finding an escape momentarily put on hold, Tasuku now searched high and low throughout the facility for his Buddy, who had gone inexplicably missing.

He'd tell me if he wanted to go somewhere... He wouldn't just disappear like this...

A feeling of dread had begun to sink in as he ran every possible scenario over in his head. What if something happened to him? His entire mission was to protect Tasuku, and if it meant confronting a threat on his own for his safety... Or, what if Jack had suddenly remembered what Tasuku had done to him and left him of his own volition?

And among the nauseating worries beginning to pile up, he caught out of the corner of his eye, a black specter gazing at him, all six of its blood red eyes piercing into his very being. Like a cherry on top...

It couldn't be...?

But maybe it had something to do with Jack's disappearance...?! He couldn't run away from this. The phantasm vanished as soon as he laid his eyes on it, immediately appearing at the far end of the hall. As if beckoning him to follow it...

And he did. He ran and ran and ran, for how long he didn't know, far away from the main part of the facility and into a more secluded area until the only people within the immediate vicinity were himself

and the absolute last person he wanted to meet here.
