3rd Person POV

"Look at anything outside of the tunnels. No matter where, if there's unknown movement, make it known."

Suzuki orders another one of the men, him immediately running off to do what she said.

Everyone's running around now, other than Gin, Tanizaki and Hirotsu, no one's sat down for a while.

The Hunting Dogs are in tunnels, Tachihara's missing and the problem of who they're supposed to be fighting is, well, still a problem.

Theres no way of proving the Decay of Angels and the Guild aren't apart of his disappearance, but there's no way of proving they are either.

All everyone can do is hope they don't lose a valuable asset to taking down the main problem.

"It seems she won't be calming down any time soon."

Hirotsu says, looking towards Suzuki, Gin and Tanizaki doing the same.

She'll be fine

Gin writes, lifting it up in Hirotsu's direction so he can read it.

"I'm sure she will but I cant help but worry over why."

Tanizaki's hand moves to grab his pen, writing on the paper and lifting it up like Gin did.

Worry over why?

Hirotsu gives a small nod towards the younger boy before looking over at Suzuki once again.

"The more orders she gives the more orders she herself is being given. Meaning the situation underground has been changing. The main problem being none of these orders she's giving are for people to get Tachihara.

Meaning he's still yet to be found by the Hunting Dogs. But they're still facing a difference in problems down there, do you understand?"

He explains, not taking his eyes off the soldier still giving orders.

Tanizaki silently gulps, worry settling deeply in his gut. He wants to believe Tachihara will be found and he's okay but with Hirotsu's explanation, he's begun getting more worried.

But he's fine, right?

Gin suddenly holds up a piece of paper. It's hard to tell if she's worried or not, but if you took off her mask, you'd know in an instant.

It's no surprise when Hirotsu doesn't give an answer, but it certainly doesn't help with the deepening worry in Tanizaki's gut.

His eyes flutter open, adjusting to the eerie darkness surrounding him.

A cough leaves his mouth as he tries to get the scratchy feeling out of his throat.

Where am I? Whys it so dark?

He tries to move to get up but fails.

His limbs are functioning badly but that's not the reason.

They simply can't move out of the position they're in, but there's nothing confining them to a bed or the ground itself.

It's like there's simply no room in the confined place, as it is simply confined.
