Ali waved at Atsushi as she helped Haruno and Naomi out of the train, "We're here." She told him, motioning at the two women behind her.

Atsushi nodded, "Me and Dazai will take them to the evacuation site. In the meantime I'll check in on them, ok?" Atsushi told her.

"In the meantime... Go rest or something! You're clothes is also kind of burned, make sure to check in with Yosano." Atsushi scolded to her, lightly pushing Ali to a nearby bench to rest.

Chuckling, Ali went over to the bench, as she reached into her bag for some water, she noticed something.

Say... What's this handprint of me?

She lifted her arm, inspecting the reddish handprint. It was small, almost as small as a child's hand.

Just then, she saw the same kid from the train bumping into Atsushi, their ragged doll still in their hands as they backed away.

I... Have a bad feeling...

Ali stood up, running to the kid with her hand outstretched.

If I don't stop this kid, something bad is gonna happen!

The kid smiled at her, holding out their ragged doll as they tossed the doll into the air, the doll letting out a earsplitting noise that was a cross of either a laugh or a scream.

Ali covered her ears, wincing at the noise as she looked at the three other members of the agency.

She watched as Atsushi began attacking Haruno, pushing away Naomi and probably breaking a bone.

I have to kill him, I have to kill him, I have to kill him.

Ali lunged towards Atsushi grabbing him from behind and dug her nails into his skin, throwing him backwards.

Huh? What am I... Even doing?

Kill him, kill him, kill him...

No! Atsushi's... I can't kill him!

Atsushi saw how Ali was starting to run to her bag, most likely for a weapon, and tackled her to the ground.

He dug his claws into her skin, blood spraying at the nearby ground as Ali tried to push away Atsushi.

Ali could feel her skin burning, every time that Atsushi dug his claws into her skin, she felt like dying, the pain was throbbing throughout her entire body.

"Atsushi! Come back to your senses!" Naomi cried from nearby, being barely held back by Haruno as she tried to run to Atsushi to stop him.

"Naomi! Don't be stupid! Atsushi could kill you in 2 seconds flat, but Ali can probably hold out until Yosano comes or something!" Haruno hissed, trying to pull Naomi away from Atsushi.

Naomi winced as she saw Ali get scratched another time, her blood splattering near her and Haruno's feet.

Then Naomi looked up and saw the little kid from earlier, watching the bloodshed with a smile as they hummed.

"Say Haruno... Do you wanna do something... Risky?" She asked, glancing at Ali's bag and then at the kid.

...

Ali could feel herself getting dizzy from the blood loss, at this point each scratch, kick, or punch from Atsushi was quickly becoming numb.

She coughed a couple of times before she held up her hand, "In my own little wo-" She began, only for a punch to the face silenced her.
