Aito turned to see what everyone else was looking at, the... kid, obviously, it was nothing close to one, but how else could he describe such a horrible spectre that took the form of a child? Due to the surprise, Aito fell over. He couldn't believe his eyes, was that thing for real? He couldn't talk, nothing would come out of his mouth. When the child-monster opened its mout, he closed his eyes, expecting something to happen. But, nothing happened, nothing at all. He let out a nervous laugh as he stood up. [B]"Seems we shouldn't have worried so much about... it. It must be harmless and is just meant to scare us, yeah, that must be it."[/B] He said with way more confidence than someone in his situation should have. [B]"Or, maybe, it is, I dunno, loading something or is calling another one in an ultrasonic frequence we can't hear, or..."[/B] He hit his mouth with his open palm after realizing he was spouting random, stupid bits and pieces of theories that formulated in his head. This time, not only would he be unnerved by his useless rambling, but everyone else too, and that wouldn't be helpful for them. Even so, all of his theories went directly down the toilet when Yoshida seemed to be aching of something. After hearing how nonexistant their opportunities of surviving were and watching the same girl who practically called him self-centered and selfish, run out the front doorin a selfish attempt to save her own life, Aito smiled nervously. [B]"And here I though I WAS the selfish one."[/B] He was relieved to see the thing go after her. It seems that yet another girl decided to take one for the team. Even so, she was valuable, being the only one with some kind of idea regarding this world, it seemed wrong to just let her die, since her death, meant their death. Or at least, less chances of surviving. Had the ghostly boy just gone there to kill Yoshida Shizune, or at the very least, to separete her from the others? Sure seemed so, since he ran after her when she left. Maybe the world was alive and trying to kill them? Yeah, right, some crazy theory he formulated there. Even so, it wasn't something completely impossible, so he didn't cross it out as useless for now. When people started talking about going after Shizune and whatnot, Aito wanted to speak up, but he too wanted to go search for her. Without her, their information on this world would be limited, and thus, the probability of dying increased at least twice. Even so, Shizune didn't seem to know anything about the boy, so maybe that meant that the world was in constant evolution, searching for something to hurt every and each one of them? As more and more questions popped in Aito's head, the president of the P.O.I.R also decided to head out, but she went in the opposite direction Shizune took. [B]"Great, just great, I really think I said that we shouldn't split up, but no one ever listens to me! God...."[/B] He quickly balanced things out in his head. Which would be the best course of action? Going after Shizune or after Shiori? A 'rescue team' for Shizune had already been formed, with the remaining girls following after her. That left him and Tsubasa. [I]'Oh, god. Akane went with them, didn't she?'[/I] He felt a chill go down his spine. But wait, this wasn't the time to be fearful, this time his life was on the line. Either he kept his fear at bay, or he will end up dead. He shook his head and finished his thinking on the situation. Right now, Shiori was all alone, and he already that the less people together, the less chances they'll have to survive. He went to the door too and before leaving, he turned to see Tsubasa. [B]"Look, we have to go after the president. We need to ensure that we lose no more people, or the next ones to die will be us. Are you going to come or not, Hazama?"[/B] He didn't even let him answer, he dashed out of the classroom, aiming to reach Shiori as soon as he could. [B]"President...! Mizuhana! Wait for me!"[/B] He shouted as he ran down the hallway. [B]"If you go alone, you'll end up dead! And by consequence, many more of us will! Our strength is in numbers right now!"[/B] He was trying to reason with her, but he was also trying to block the voices coming from the hallway. They were scary. He was scared. But what else could he do? Lay down and die wasn't an option.
