"Tsukiko!" Kanashii cried out as she saw the strange boy nearing the group. He had her under his arm, but Kanashii sensed that Tsukiko was not at all alarmed by the fact.<br/>If anything, it was Kanashii who was worried.<br/><em>"If any of you want to live through tonight. . . You will follow my lead."</em><br/>As if any of that mattered. As if she even knew what was going on!<br/>Kanashii only wanted Tsukiko back, and, to discover why she had fled towards the strange boy to begin with.<br/>She conceded to follow the boy, at the very least to get her doll back, Tsukiko was worth more than the other dolls, not in a monetary sense, but on a deeper, personal level.<br/>Kanashii wouldn't allow this strange boy to dart off with Tsukiko.<br/>She had no choice but to follow.<br/><br/>With hesitance in her step and fear in her gaze, she started towards him, the boy, trying to ignore what was happening around her, difficult as it may be.<br/>She didn't understand what was happening to Kari-san, didn't want to know what had happened to Aryn-kun and was far too afraid to even begin to wonder what could happen to everyone else.<br/><br/>Despite all that...<br/><em>Tsukiko...</em><br/><br/>"Wait!" She called out and hurried until she was a foot away from the boy.<br/>"May I please have my doll back?" She asked, her timid voice cracked somewhat with her phrase, betraying her awkward lack of social skills openly.<br/><br/><br/>
