( WARNING: BLOOD AND GORE? )

  Timmi slept peacefully in bed as Shadow Man pats her head, then leaves the room.

Last night, Chamomile received a letter filled with tickets, and the group agreed to sneak out of the laboratory, for the sake of saving their friends.

At the building, the group searched for clues and traces, yet there are none of it. The group then walked into the elevator for more searching.

The first floor? There are glass shards, but Marilight reminds her friends to not pick them up.

In the elevator, Shadow Man sighs, when the door behind him opens, revealing Meo's shop, with Meo himself smiling at them. Some of the Toonies question Meo, but he pushed them aside.

Instead, he pointed to a new Toonie. " Who is that Toonie? "

Everyone turns to look at Pro, the emotionless movie projector Toonie.

( He must've sneaked out with us when we're weren't looking... ) Shadow Man thought. " He is a new addition to our team. "

Meo wows at the new Toonie. He isn't unique compared to some Toonies, he barely shows emotions. But, Meo seems interested in Pro and talked to him.
It's harmless, so Shadow Man ignores it, along with the rest of the Toonies.

Along the way, they lost some of the Toonies to unknown reasons. Firstly, Marilight mysteriously disappeared in a blackout on the Work floor. Secondly, due to an argument that stressed Ying, she picked up a glass shard and sliced her neck, in front of Miko.

Shadow Man, Orange, Roselle would comfort their friends, while Rot just stands there, feeling guilty about what just happened.

Honee is now the stressed one. He would suddenly lash out at his friends before crying.

Meanwhile with Pro, he's quiet, as usual.

Until at the Storage room, Pro went with Honee to find more clues. At a corner, Pro pins Honee to a wall.
" Pro?? "
Pro pulls out a brick from his pocket, and bashes Honee.
" PRO! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! WE'RE FRIENDS! " Honee yells out to Pro.
" ... " Pro kept quiet.
Honee whimpers in pain.
" You were bad friends to Meo. " Pro finally talks.

He puts the brick down walks closer to Honee, with his hands at the neck.
" WAIT, STOP! " Honee shouts.
Pro's hands pressed onto Honee's neck.
" NO, PLEASE!! " Honee yells again.
Honee tries to get out, but Pro's grip makes his neck bleed, neck fur tainted by his blood.
Pro stares as Honee's breaths slow down.

Pro walks away from Honee's dead body.

Miko, who witnessed everything, ran back in a panic.

In the elevator, Miko explained about what Pro did to Honee. Orange, Roselle and Chamomile are shocked by this, but Shadow Man is thinking.
( When I found Mari's body, her bulb seems to smashed, judging by Pro's weapon... ) He made a conclusion, then discussed with his friends about a plan.

A plan to manipulate Pro to be friendly again, since Shadow Man also found out that Meo told Pro about everything.

Everything didn't go well...

When Roselle tried to talk him into helping others, Pro only stared into a distance.
It was only then he pushed her into Envy and ' Honee ', who shred her into pieces. It was devastating in Chamomile's eyes.

Back in the elevator, Pro is now staring at them. Orange and Miko glared back at him, and Rot... seems quieter than before.
( He must've felt guilty for leaving his boss, or his best friend behind... I hope we can find Pridy quickly, and find a way to save them. ) Shadow Man looked at Rot.

At Moonshower's room, Shadow Man witnessed something, something he didn't expect. His cousin attacking his assistant.
" PRIDY! " Shadow Man shouted.
' He ' ignored Shadow and continued, making him take action.

Shadow Man charges at ' Mr Pridy '. The two fought, until his ' cousin ' pierces his hand with a shard and stabs Rot.
" Rot... No... " Shadow Man whispers.

Shadow Man looks as ' Mr Pridy ' comforts his assistant, now dead. He felt a Toonie stalking him. He turns around to see Pro staring at him.

The Toonies then made another plan. They got some rope.

At Ying's room, while Pro was with Miko, Shadow Man and Orange observed them from behind. In the storage room, Pro kicked Miko and pulled out the brick, before his hands were grabbed.

Pro is now tied up. Shadow Man looked to his friends, who all agreed to leave him in this floor, and die alone.

When they left him, a huge figure looms over Pro.

" THEY ARE BAD FRIENDS, AM I RIGHT, PRO? HOW ABOUT WE MAKE A DEAL? " The huge figure asks Pro.
" ... " Pro only listened.
" YOU TRY TO END EVERYONE NEXT FLOOR, AND YOU CAN STAY WITH ME FOREVER. THIS WAY, WE CAN WORK TOGETHER, AND GET WHAT WE WANTED. " The huge figure gives him a deal.
" ... Deal. " Pro accepts it.
