[ It wants to play. It's dark and lonely, and it's scary. Why is everything dark and scary? Won't you play with it? It's lonely, so lonely. Mommy...
It keeps walking towards Kokichi, arms outstretched, as slowly the tendrils begin to glow and raise again. Another charge like before coming on? It would seem so, and it would seem inevitable—
When a luminescent ribbon whips out suddenly, binding the creature round and round like a sentient thing. Coming from the cloak of the boy still lying apparently unconscious on the ground and the cuff of his right wrist. He doesn't seem to have even moved yet, like his cloak whipped out on its own. But he grits his teeth then, spitting out some blood to the side (white, it becomes an instant luminous white in the perma-moonlight) as he gets back up to his feet, holding the tether tight on the beast and keeping it from advancing.
He locks eyes with Kokichi, a hardened pale grey that's also still... afraid? ]
R— [ it's taught and desperate, his voice ] —run!
[ However what he doesn't know, that left eye of his that now almost seems to be smoking, waves of a dark and corrupted energy coming off of it and the dark, black void it seems with its glowing red iris...
A small figure appears, floating translucent just above the beast. The same little girl as before, but she appears curled in on herself. Softly sobbing, waves of inky smoke peeling off her body that seems to be withering. And this time, Kokichi can hear her as if echoing directly inside his own skull with each hiccupping cry.
