Rin breathes in sharply, heart nearly skipping a beat. "Yeah, we're screwed," he whispers.

Well, that was a bit unexpected, you hear a very familiar voice say as the first figure pulls themselves up. This must've been hell of a place to make -

"I-Itami," Shiawase breathes, running forward.

He jolts back a little. Why are you running at me -

She stops. "Well - you're alive. I. . .would have thought that. . ."

Yeah, he definitely would have, Itami says, sounding disgruntled. But apparently the one thing he has in common with our Hitari is that he can be knocked unconscious.

Rin, honestly, is still afraid. Unconscious? He won't be out for long. God, is this gonna turn into some sort of sick hide-and-seek game?!

Shiawase quietly walks around Itami and kneels down beside Hitari. ". . .it's like someone else stole his face and voice. The fact that they have a similarity almost makes me sick. . ."

Might I recommend not going so close to Hitari?! Itami nearly shouts. We need to either get rid of him, or find somewhere better to go! I didn't risk travelling with him just so you can wallow in sadness. That's Kanashimi's job.

Shiawase stares at him in shock, not expecting such a rant.

"This is stupid," Hitari mutters to himself. "The fact that I got knocked out, the fact that I didn't finish. At this point I'd rather open a singularity."

". . .please don't," comes a faint, weak reply. ". . .that'd. . .be pretty inconvenient."

"No one ever called mercy convenient," Hitari snaps back. "But the obstruction of it certainly is not."

Rin kind of just.... watches..... not really able to move or speak.

We probably want to restrain Hitari, at the very least, Itami continues. That's the best we can do if you don't want to just be rid of him.

"I - I don't - " Shiawase gently places a palm on Hitari's face. "Isn't now our best chance to make the other one leave?"

He may be unconscious, but he's awake, Itami mutters. If that even manages to make sense. I can't really do anything unless I want to lose more than another arm, and Kanashimi isn't here - as well as Zandaka, but I doubt she'd do anything. . .

"We should probably do something before he wakes up," Rin suggests meekly. "He's pretty fast to recover from this kind of thing last I checked,"

Then I'll just sit here hovering a rock over his head just in case, Itami says, sounding like he really means it. Shiawase, do you have rope?

She looks back at the box she laid on the ground. "I have thin fabrics that can be torn, so. . .yes, in a way."

Good. Go get some, Itami replies, walking over. I'll make sure he doesn't wake up.

Shiawase, reluctantly, gets up and walks over to the box, opening it. "I knew it was a good idea to have these in here." She pulls out a thin, grayish-green roll of fleece. "But I never thought they'd be used for this. . ."

Rin, you might as well help her, Itami says as he picks up a branch. The second this guy moves, he's getting wacked. And to ensure that, I'm staying right here.

"A-alright," Rin nods, and walks over to help Shiawase.

Itami watches Hitari so intently he might as well be burning a hole with his gaze alone.

Shiawase glances up as you approach. "This cloth is pretty long," she says. "Here - " She tears it neatly in half, the sound of the fibers separating satisfying. "It only needs to be about a few centimeters wide for each strip, since we're going to be tying them on top of each other."
