As soon as the dolls voice yells, "Red Light!" When Player 179 tries to halt too abruptly, her feet slide and she staggers forward. Her body tilts dangerously backwards, her arms in the air as she loses her balance.

She is going to fall, and since any movement or twitch in this dangerous game results with a bullet shes as good as gone.

Player 388's instincts take over. Without a second thought he steps towards her, his hands stretch out and grab her by the waist with a quick, accurate motion.

He stays holding her still until the dolls voice sings out that they were able to move again.

He brings her body back up then steadies her.

“Are you alright?” Player 388 asks, his voice laced with relief.
