"We need to get everyone out of here," Kai said, looking around the wrecked room.
Without hesitation, Kai turned his sight to the stairs leading to the basement room, his thoughts focused on the innocent people caught up in the chaos.
Kai dashed towards the staircase, his footsteps booming down the corridor as he descended it.
As the sound of Kai's footsteps echoed throughout the basement, the gathered survivors fell silent, their eyes wide with panic as they anticipated the source of the disturbance.
But as they saw Kai's face, their frantic expressions softened, and a spark of relief appeared in their eyes as they realized it was not the yomigaeri.
A young child broke away from the group, sprinting towards Kai and tightly embracing him. His voice trembled as he whispered.
"Is that thing gone?" he asked. "Are we safe now?"
