A gut-wrenching scream ripped through the audience. Everyone turned to the source. Tanizaki jumps over the bottom row to reach his sister. Most of the room sat confused but the two doctors ran to the girl hunching over, clinching to her brother, sobbing.
"What's wrong with her?" His dry voice as his hands comforted her. Tanizaki looked up at Doctor Yosano.
"We need to move her to the floor."
Tanizaki gently picks her up, moving her to a lower level, then moved out of the way. Doctor Yosano began to check her vitals and feel her body.
"It's okay, it will be okay." said the younger doctor making eye contact with Tanizaki.
Hirutsu got up to try the door to realize it would not budge. "Chuuya, would you mind trying to get the door open."
"Kenji, go help him." Kunikida said; the boy nodded and walked with Chuuya to the door.
Slowly, Doctor Yosano turned to the other Doctor.
"'Pain will be the price.'" He mumbled to himself. In a louder voice, Mori questioned, "Who else gets hurt in this episode?"
"It was Naomi then Higuchi and then myself. But only Tanizaki's siblings got gravely injury." said Atsushi frantically. Doctor Mori and Doctor Yosano locked eyes, then the older of the two walked over to his subordinates. "Higuchi, would you mind sitting on the lower floor for me?"
"Um okay, sir."
"Oh, and I would mental prepare."
"Drugs might alleviate the pain?" Doctor Yosano questioned. She hated this, but she was a doctor first and foremost.
"I'm not sure if that would be helpful. However, if the pain continues after the episode we can re-evaluate." The older doctor replied.
"We need to continue," Dazai said, eyes locked in on the screen.
Chuuya came back down with Hirutsu and Kenji, all looking dejected. "Door ain't budging were struck until the episode ends." Chuuya said with a heavy sigh.
"So, medication is no longer an option in any capacity for this round." Mori said.
Dazai pressed the button.
Tanizaki collapses to his knees,
"Brother... So much...." Naomi's words came out in pained, broken thoughts.
All he could do was hold her closer to him.
She falls to the floor.
He catches her, screaming her name as Atsushi watches in shock.
"Oh god, What should I do? Atsushi, do you have bandages on you?"
Higuchi preps for another round as Tanizaki continues panicking.
He turns around, "Atsushi, grab her legs!"
Atsushi hated hearing his friend so disparate, he felt so useless even now sitting here. All he could do was watch it play out.
A gun barrel is placed on his head as Higuchi approaches, "My research has already told me that you are a non-combatant, I'll do you a favor by allowing you to follow your sister to the after-life."
Tanizaki turns around, fury written all over his face, "You worthless thug!"
His ability activates and Higuchi takes a step backward. Naomi is cradled in Tanizaki's arms.
"You'll pay for hurting Naomi! Ability: Light Snow!"
"I'm not sure you looked into it enough. His ability is not used for combat but clearly he is able to." Said Mori. He looked as if he was disappointed in their scheme to collect the weretiger.
