"Hey, can you open this door for me? I am a little busy and in need of assistance." one of the weakest excuses but mark had panicked when he had realized that the other might leave him here alone and stuck inside.
"This door? Alright" the other opened the door somehow and Mark knocked him out with swift moves. He did feel sorry for the other but not enough to not be able to justify his actions.
He would make it up to the other somehow in the future.
He had to hurry and find Kuro before Zeno ended up finding the other. It should not be that difficult for Mark to do since he knew this place well enough already. And he had an even bigger overall advantage over Zeno, his bond with Kuro which was leading him deeper into the base. He could feel Kuro at the other side of the corridor.
