Thanks to Chie, I managed to find Kanji in the gift shop. From what she told me, Kanji wanted to look around and see if there's anything that could help us escape, even in the unlikeliest places. Chie also told me Kanji loves salty snacks, and I do have some saltwater pretzels I got from the Monogacha...though I'm not entirely 100% about this.
It's sweet that Kanji is doing everything he can to help us out, but would pretzels be a nice reward for his efforts? Don't get me wrong, I know it'll be something he'll (hopefully) like, but pretzels? Well...Chie did say it was alright, so here goes nothing.
"Hey Kanji," I greeted, walking up to him.
"H-h-hi-."
Before Kanji could finish saying hi back, Santiago 'butted in' and said "The fuck you want, bitch?"
"...Was the bitch part necessary?"
"Well as you see, the two of us are busy, so either you have a good reason for interuptin, or you make like a tree and fuck off!"
"I just have something for Kanji, sheesh," I said, feeling slightly irritated I'm being talked to like that by a doll...
"Oh? Show me then," Santiago said, leaning closer.
"...Are you serious?" I asked, looking at Kanji, who wasn't looking in my direction at all.
"Hey toots, eyes down here," Santiago pushed. I rolled my eyes as I held the bag of pretzels before Santiago. I felt annoyed doing this, but Kanji looked over with his eyes widened...is he surprised? Suddenly Kanji made Santiago turn his head to him and said "The fuck you lookin at?!"
"N-nothing! S-s-sorry!" Kanji said, turning away again.
"Hmm...I suppose we could accept this generous donation of yours, babe," Santiago winked, where he looked to Kanji again and he leaned in to take them from me. "Thank ya kindly."
"Right...so Kanji, how are-."
"Did I say you could talk to my client?" Santiago interrupted.
"Client?" I asked.
"All I'll say is that if you wanna talk, do it to me," he demanded.
"But I just-."
"The fuck did I just say to ya?! TALK. TO. ME. Or do ya wanna sleep with the fishes?" he threatened.
"Wh-what?" I asked, shaking as I back away. Is...is he gonna...?
"S-Santiago!" Kanji yelled. "Y-you can't just say that!"
"So what? What do I care?"
"W-we're not supposed to th-threaten others...e-especially now..."
I stood there for a minute, watching the two argue with each other as I slowly remember that I was talking to a puppet...I felt scared of a piece of wood threatening me...what the hell?
Kanji perked up to me and said "S-sorry Haru..."
"...We'll conclude our business right now, but you better watch yourself bitch, understood?" Santiago asked, glaring at me.
For some reason, I felt my heart in my throat, so I couldn't help but let out a slight gulp and nod.
"Good. Now move it, ya piece of shit, we're done here," he said to Kanji, where they both walked out of the gift shop...leaving me in a fearful and confused state at the same time right now...

Haru Notes: I think Kanji liked the pretzels, emphasis on think as he used Santiago to respond to me. He definitely earned the title of Ultimate Ventriloquist, because with two different voices, two different personalities, it honestly felt like I was talking to a second person as I didn't realize that I felt threatened by a doll until later!
