I leave the security room and get back into the wild. So many bodies lying lifeless on the ground. The red blood is more prominent than any other color. The iron scent fills my nose and makes me want to throw up. For a moment I feel like stopping. Like giving up and falling not wanting to participate in this carnage anymore 

But I keep searching. Because this isn't about saving my life anymore, this is way bigger

When I reach the fifth floor, I hear gunshots and someone shouting from the corridor on my left

 'Joe!'

I instantly recognize Tata's voice, so I run and turn around the corner. I see him standing in the middle of the way, his back facing me. Someone with a gun is pointing at him

'Tata!' He doesn't hear me and runs to the guy in front of him. Straddling him down on the ground as he hits him multiple times in a row until the boy falls unconscious

I am shocked by his sudden gain of confidence but smile, I walk up to him. 'Told you you were a big boy' I say chuckling and patting his hair

'Ameya?' He looks at me surprised. 'We need to find Arisu' He tells me panicked

'Calm down okay, I know where he is but we have to find Usagi first' I tell him and he nods 

He gets up and we walk around the many hallways trying to find the sportive girl. But unfortunately, the girl we found at the other end of the hallway isn't Usagi but a girl who made an alliance with the militants

Tata begins to run, confidently, thinking he stood a chance but the girl shoots a few times missing the young boy from only a few millimeters

I feel my protective instinct taking over, needing to protect the young boy. 'Tata, get down!' I yell at him and he immediately falls to the ground. I don't waste a second and pull the trigger, almost missing her but the bullet lands in her shoulder and she falls to the ground in pain

I run to the boy, his head is still down and his body is shaking. I put my hands under his arms and help him get back. 'Hey, hey, hey! Tata you okay?!' I ask concerned he might actually have been shot

He nods rapidly a few times. 'I'm fine, I'm okay' He says

I let him go and run my hand through my hair relieved. 'Good'

'Tata!' Another voice calls from the end of the other hallway. I turn around and face Usagi once again

She runs to us ignoring me but hugs the little boy. 'Tata, are you okay?'

'Yeah Ameya saved me' He reassures her and she looks at me

With my two fingers against my forehead, I wave to her as a sign of greeting. 'Arisu is somewhere on the fourth floor of the main hall' I tell her straightforwardly but she looks at me eyebrows furrowed not trusting me

'I believe her Usagi', the boy tells her

'You shouldn't. She betrayed us. It's her fault if Arisu's in danger' She tells him angrily

'She's a heart player, what did you expect? And yet look at her, she here saving me and helping you save Arisu', he says

She looks at me unsure. 'It better be the truth' she says with gritted teeth
