"I understand." A voice said just as I felt like I was falling.

Suddenly, Moriai-san disappeared as I blindly lurched around, trying to stop the sensation of falling.

I felt something beneath me as someone caught me.

I still couldn't breathe as I hyperventilated.

"Breathe." Someone ordered but I couldn't listen.

All I could do was see Moriai-san and the chair. The needle. His blood.

"Wing girl!" A muffled voice called out as black spots filled my vision.

I was going to pass out when I felt something press against my lips.

My breathing hitched as I blinked in shock.

Slowly, they pulled away, as my sight was starting to return again, as my breathing slowed down.

I gasped, gulping down masses of air as I heard someone click their tongue.

"Are you going to need someone to kiss you every time you go into a panic attack?" Akutagawa asked as I saw his face looming over me.

I was breathing heavily as I tried to gain my senses again.

"Moriai-san..." I whispered out.

"Is dead. He's not here. He can't hurt you again." Akutagawa said as I breathed heavily.

"But Dr Tsukuda, he's still alive. He's going to come for me!" I cried out as Akutagawa cursed.

"y/n, stop." Akutagawa said making me pause.

I had never heard Akutagawa say my name. It was usually wing girl.

I stared into Akutagawa's grey eyes as he looked at me, intensely.

"I'll protect you." Akutagawa said as I swallowed, breathing evening out again.

However, my heart rate was picking up as I frowned. 

It must be from the sudden hyperventilation. I thought to myself.

I exhaled deeply, closing my eyes as I nodded.

"Thank you." I whispered as Akutagawa clicked his tongue.

"Don't mention it." He said as he let me go.

I heard a cough behind us as I turned to see Atsushi-kun staring at us as my face flushed.

"y/n-chan... I didn't know you had to go through all of that-" Atsushi-kun started but suddenly, there was a loud crash as we all turned around to see Fitzgerald standing behind a hole in the wall.

"I've found you, stray dogs." Fitzgerald said as he smiled at us.

My breathing hitched as I saw him but I remembered what Akutagawa had told me.

I'll protect you. He said.

I sighed. I trusted in Akutagawa and his word.

Akutagawa surged forward, Rashoumon behind him as he attacked Fitzgerald.

Atsushi-kun turned around "That's it!" He called out.

"The cargo elevator." Atsushi-kun said as he raced to it.

"Akutagawa!" I called out as Akutagawa looked at me and saw the elevator.

He nodded as he slammed his Rashoumon into Fitzgerald.

I ran into the elevator as Atsushi-kun pressed the button.

Akutagawa leapt in, just before the door slammed close as we all panted.
