The roar of a car engine suddenly shattered the thick shell encasing his consciousness.
Blinding headlights flooded his vision. A dark shadow, wrapped in a force heavy enough to shatter worlds, scraped right past Chaisi. Before he could even react, the arm seized by the resident was violently twisted back, feeling as if it were about to be ripped from its socket.
He let out a low growl of pain and finally came to his senses, only then realizing that he had, at some point, fallen to the ground.
The thing that had just rushed past him turned out to be the Kai Family's car.
It was now stopped a few steps away, its taillights piercing the night and dyeing the threads of rain red. The resident from before, and the driver connected to it, had both disappeared under the black car.
But a single long arm, attached to a hand densely packed with fingers, still stretched out from under the car, tightly gripping Chaisi's arm.
