The shimmering distortion shifts abruptly like it's been yanked away, as if it were something that needs to be hidden better. No one ever said villains had to play by the rules.

Shiho doesn't feel the jerk of the dimension moving as she gives her prison another solid kick with her leg. She doesn't know exactly why she'd kicked it, only that something about doing it had felt right. Like she'd felt someone familiar nearby. And besides, nothing helped her frustration as much as applied violence.

Outside though, there is a slowly rising hum throughout the ship as Kaoru tries her best not to let her anger get the better of her. Aoi is the one who answers Tetsuo, "....if they were going to take her away, they could have just done that."

The voice finishes, But you know, you have all been just so annoying to the higher-ups. Wouldn't it hurt, if she was just inches away and you couldn't get to her?

Out of the corner of his eye though, if he chooses to look, Tetsuo will see the shimmer again as if it's trying to get back to him.
