I love this anime movie and I thought that this song fits this chapter.

Kaito didn't pay attention to the time after White had left. The man's words kept bouncing around his skull, continuously reminding him of the damage that he had done. Shuichi, Kokichi and himself will be forced to go to another location. They'll suffer through the same cycle all over again. All because he had to be selfish and not think about what might happen to his friends. He didn't even try to convince White to spare them from any punishment after the doctor had threatened the safety of his family. Deep down, Kaito still wanted to fight, but what could he do right now at this point? There was nothing he could do, and he continued to feel useless. This is the worst feeling that he could experience right now.

The door to the bedroom opened, causing Kaito to look up at it. Two guards didn't hesitate in striding up to him. They forced his hands into a metal box. There was a beep and a solid click as Kaito felt the box tighten harshly around his hands, guaranteeing that they won't be able to slip out. This box was definitely a form of handcuffs that were made specifically for Limitless. The guards roughly pulled Kaito to his feet. As Kaito was forced out of the room, he saw Shuichi and Kokichi isn't he same situation as him. Kaito immediately kept his eyes glued to the floor. He couldn't bring himself to look at them at this moment. They were forced to walk forward, two guards at the front, two guards behind them. They kept their batons out to keep the three from fighting back. Kaito still wished that he had more that he could do, but he had nothing. It's over.

Kaito couldn't look at anything else other than straight ahead. He wasn't sure at what else he could look at. He certainly couldn't look at his friends behind him. He didn't know if he could right now. This was his fault after all. Kaito had wrapped himself up in so much self hatred that he almost missed something around the corner of another corridor. What in the...

Kaito didn't have much time to process anything else. Before he could blink, there was a small, white and red blur. The guards crashed to the ground. Shuichi, Kaito and Kokichi looked at them in surprise. The guards were clutching at their legs. Their limbs were bent at odd angles, indicating that they were broken. Before the two guards behind them could try to do anything, there was this loud yell before there was a crashing sound. The three looked behind them to see that the guards behind them were suddenly gone. Did someone just crash into them like a freight train or rhino or something?

"Not bad, Gonta."

Kaito felt like cheering as he, Shuichi and Kokichi turned to see Ryoma standing in front of the guards wit the broken legs. Aside from him using his powers, the evidence that he which that he was responsible was a newly bent tennis racket in his hands. However, the good mood switched suddenly as one of the guards reached for his baton. Kaito was about to warn the former tennis pro when the guards were suddenly strung up to the ceiling. Upon a further look, both of them were tangled up in spider webs, even their mouths were covered to keep them from alerting nearby guards.

"Hi, Mom!" Kokichi grinned as he looked further down the hall and spotted Kirumi with Tenko standing next to her. Kirumi lowered her hand, a smile having her face. Kaito couldn't tell if it was smug, but he felt like it should've been. Tenko frowned but went over to the three. She placed her hands on cuffs that Kaito had.

"Can't believe that I'm helping out you degenerate males." She hissed, ripping the cuffs as if they were paper. Gonta returned from where he had disappeared after knocking the guards out.
