[ Four Shadows have now been defeated. The one that took hold of Rei has been disintegrated into nothing but a mess of broken bones and flesh. It dissolves away shortly afterwards. The one that stabbed Toki in the back has been grabbed by the neck and the pain is overwhelming. It's enough to temporarily stun them, giving enough time for Toki to properly rip out their throat. Similarly to all the others, it melts away into a thick black slime. ]
[ Rei has been trying to catch her breath and get that godawful taste out of her mouth, but she's forced to act immediately after she was freed. The Shadow that stole the bat away, it raises its weapon high up. It almost brings it down onto Toki's shoulder, but it's tackled to the ground before it gets the chance. Rei's small, but even she's able to knock someone over when they're not expecting it. ]
[ There are the sounds of a struggle as the two of them fight over the bat. Those sounds are followed with a sickening crack and then silence. The silence lasts for a few seconds and there is absolutely no movement. It is broken by the clattering of a heavy object falling to the ground and quick footsteps. ]
T-- Tokidoki--!
[ It's Rei's voice. She runs up to Toki and checks on his injuries. The Shadow never managed to pull out its knife out of his back. ]

D-Don't take it out. Not until I can heal it!
