"What the fuck?!"
Ducking his head down, Ethan had no choice but to follow suit and flee from the mannequins, who had all been concealing weapons and were evidently, more pressingly, able to move. His mind raced as fast as his body did, his emotions being made up of a mix of confusion and fear as he could hardly even comprehend what he had seen before he'd turned tail and made for the building. Another second, and he might have been gunned down like a defenseless animal.
Well, that is to say, he did feel like a defenseless animal right now. No weapons, no idea of where they were. It felt like he and the others were all being kept in a deadly zoo-like place, and while the idea was just preposterous enough that Ethan might have almost been willing to entertain it, he decided instead to focus on where he was now instead of where he might be. Another empty building, just like the rest of the street... Cheery.
At the very least, there was no doubt in Ethan's mind that wherever they all were, they were here for a reason. And whoever was able to bring them all here... They really had to be something else to have that much power.
"... Jesus Hell."
Ethan could only shake his head briefly at the number done to Sherry, even if it was small enough that Trevor and the others were able to take care of it. He let out a sigh to himself, putting a hand on his hip as he stood next to the group. Whoever holed everyone up in here had to be some sort of sick bastard to go through the trouble of doing all this, even going far enough to want to kill them... just like animals.
But then, humans were greater than animals, weren't they? The most dangerous animal of all was man, some could say. Hmph. Someone ought to trademark that phrase. Sounded good in his head.
But still... These were just kids. Queen, Joker, Numahime... They all couldn't have been more than twenty years old, if he had to venture a guess. Granted, he'd heard of how Asians supposedly had all sorts of remedies that prevented aging, so for all he knew, they could be as old as he was, but considering their reactions (mostly Queen's), he'd guess not. Also, he was in the same boat as Trevor. The hell was a "movie?" Like... one of those moving pictures? And for that matter, what was this "Metaverse" they talked about? So many weird words these Asian kids were using. It was a wonder he could even understand anything they were saying at all, even though oftentimes it felt like he
didn't.
With another breath, he decided to turn toward Grell while Sherry was tended to, softly nudging her arm.
"Hey. You doing okay yourself, miss?"
