As Collette and Kaoru stumbled into the public place and called for help, every eye in earshot turned in their direction, causing a wide range of reactions. Girls spied the harvesters still holding onto Collette's body and went running in the opposite direction, scared that they might be the next victim. Many got on their cell phones, some to call for an ambulance, but others to snap a pic. And many others came to lend a helping hand to the two girls... but they stopped before they could reach the duo because the harvester around Collette's waist was<i>moving</i>.<br/><br/>This harvester's body was essentially two belts connected together with long arms, which had an elbow in the middle. In response to the two girls drawing close together, one of the two bands detached and the arms unfurled like a frog's legs getting ready to leap into the air. Keeping one of the belts locked around Collette's waist, the other shot out in Kaoru's direction, wrapping around her own waist. It only took a moment, but now the girls were attached to each other at the waist. The next moment, the strong arms contracted, pulling the two girls toward each other until they were practically hugging.<br/><br/>The two bands shifted to bright green; a warning to the girls and any other onlookers that the creature was engorged with acidic blood. If the brash Kaoru, or anyone else did something foolish and attacked it, the two girls were as good as dead.
