Tatsumi gingerly grabbed Alister's hand. As Alister pulled Tatsumi up, the ruffian on the ground stood to his full height as well.
"You aren't going anywhere, catalyst." he growled in a voice deeper and more ominous than before, holding his pocketknife with an intense grip. With a sharp breath, he charged forward before sharply jolting back, standing in place, motionless. All Tatsumi saw looking behind him was a splatter of blood on the brick wall of the alley. For a moment the man stood, before dropping to the ground, his body melting into the shadow of the ground. Alister left the alley, keeping a close eye on Tatsumi as he led him out of the alley.
"Why did you save me again?" Tatsumi questioned as the two walked into the building next to the alley, a small, empty motel. No response came from Alister, taking a seat in the lobby.
"What were you doing in the fire escape anyway?" Tatsumi continued, with a similar wave of silence washing over the strangely empty lobby as Alister stayed silent. He wasn't even looking at Tatsumi, as he stared at the white tile floor, contemplating. For a few minutes the two sat, one staring at the floor, and the second staring at the other. A janitor passed by, emptying the trash cans.
"I saved you because…" Alister paused for a beat, trailing off with an uncertain tone.
"Because you're the only person I know who's the same as me." Alister finished, slowly shifting his gaze from the floor to the one in front of him. He then promptly stood up, following with a second answer.
"I also had to follow you… because I was hired to kill you, Tatsumi." Alister stated, his voice shaking slightly.
