Wherever Galaxian is in the world, he winces for the narrator.

The Apologetic Assassin, ignoring the rest of the chaos, walked right up to Hitan. "This is certainly not the way you expected this to be, Fallen Angel," they said with an unflinching voice that somehow contradicted the tone they had used with Kewl. Or perhaps they didn't have anything to lose with the angel hybrid.

Hitan felt like all the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood on end--he'd never actually paid attention to that part of himself before. It reminded him of hackles raising for some sort of more wild animal or creature. Like Kewl's instincts towards the killer, his mind screamed to him, "Danger! Stay away!", or even just outright "Run!", but he managed to remain motionless. He'd learned not to turn his back and run away; Akuma could teleport, and who knew what Creepy Person could do.

Truth to be told, the Fallen Angel wasn't sure just what he had expected--this had started off as an individual death match and was now escalating to more death matches, destruction, and quite frankly, confusion, but he wasn't about to tell someone that, especially someone who looked like a living shadow, and...he shuddered.

It sounded like they were almost imitating someone he knew, typical of an assassin, who likely needed disguise and masquerade skills to do their job well--and A.A., even with such limited information on all databases, was known for being very good at their job.

A trickle of questions ran down Hitan's mind, one being "Why the heck are you focusing on me?", another being "How do you know my code name?" He wasn't one who gave his name, even his code one, [the] Fallen Angel, frequently.

A shiver ran down his spine. Had the assassin/informal Masked One been spying on him? Or was he the next target? Why hadn't the other ambushed him when he was distracted?

Did the A.A. think it was more amusing this way, to confuse him more in a small interval that was already filled with chaos and trepidation?
