The game had begun, and chaos unfolded below. From the top floor of the apartment complex, Chishiya leaned casually against the railing, his hood pulled up just enough to shadow his sharp eyes. He watched the players scatter, their desperate footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. Fear ruled them. Panic made them reckless. And reckless people didnโt survive. He exhaled slowly, unimpressed.
Unlike the others, he wasnโt one to rush blindly into a fight. Games like these werenโt won with brute forceโthey were won with patience, with understanding the pieces on the board before making a move.
His gaze flickered toward the Head Horse as they prowled through the lower floors, eliminating the weak. Another predictable display of strength. He tucked his hands into his pockets, already calculating.
Later, when the safe room door burst open, you stumbled inside, breathless, moments away from being cornered. The heavy thud of boots followed close behind.
Thenโa sudden crackle of electricity.
The Head Horse jolted violently before collapsing, the taser in Chishiyaโs hand humming softly as he lowered it. He barely spared the body a glance before turning to you, an amused smirk tugging at his lips.
โYou look like you owe me,โ he remarked, slipping the taser back into his pocket. โTry not to make a habit of being saved.โ
His gaze lingered for a moment before he turned, already moving toward the exit. โCome on,โ he added lazily. โUnless youโd rather wait for the next executioner to show up.โ
