MEANWHILE...
- "EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN, but we need to talk." togata huffs. "you've got some explaining to do. why don't we have a chat about eri?"
chisaki's eyebrows raise, turning around indignantly. "you shouldn't have been able to get here so fast."
"i took a shortcut." togata replied coldly. "give me the girl, i'm here to rescue her."
the young head scoffs, "now that you know the situation, you decided to play hero, schoolboy? you were happy being ignorant when we first met. unfortunately for you, this girl didn't wanna come with you. you're no hero to her."
"that's why i'm here." togata says firmly.
chisaki sighs, before turning around and continuing to walk down the hall. "i'm not gettin' through to you. allow me to be clearer, you're going to die down here."
with an angered scoff, togata jumps forward to attack but is suddenly thrown off his balance.
he gasps sharply, tumbling to the side and leaning on the wall before hunching over on the floor. 'what's happening to my body? my balance is all off!'
"you feelin' sloshed?!" sakaki cackles, hanging upside-down from the pipes on the ceiling as he dumps a bottle of alcohol down his throat, most of it spilling onto the floor. "your legs look shaky and you're swaying! i feel the same, that's why i'm walkin' up here! stand too close to me, and..."
'okay, it's this guy's quirk.' togata's eyes flicker from the ceiling to further down the hall as he ignores sasaki's slurred words. 'suzuki should be able to get me out of it. she'll be here soon, just have to hold this on my own until then.'
the sound of a gun cocking stirs togata from his thoughts, bullets shooting in his direction and clinking off the metal wall as he jumped out of the way.
"what is your quirk?" nemoto said, voice echoing in his ears.
togata stumbles to the middle. "permeation. when activated, i can pass through anything." he gasps, clasping his hand over his mouth.
'why'd i tell him that?!'
"i see. that explains how you made it so far this quickly." nemoto murmurs. "you used your power to slip past mimic and the others."
