( Some rational sliver of her brain supposes she should be grateful she's not in this cave alone. She might have never seen anything but white if she was. But Rei's presence grates on her, the same way Izō bugging her about her gift to him did. They're so... bothered by how she's acting. Asking questions.
Caring.
Right now, she hates it. Hates it as much as she hates this hall of death, these statues frozen and unblinking, staring at her in ways that feel accusing.
Why are you the one who gets out? The one who lives, who's supposed to save our world? )
That's none of your business.
( Kate, speaking in full and emphatic sentences, is a rare thing. She bites out each syllable as she steps between the statue of her brother and Rei, hand curling into a fist. Whether she wants to hit the statue or the living man in front of her is debatable, they're both pissing her off.
But she doesn't get the time to make that decision.
There's a shift, a noise of stone scraping against stone as the first statue begins to move, shambling its way towards the two living beings in this room. Well. Not both of them. )
... Shit.
( They have no interest in Kate. )
Rei, move!
( Where? She has no idea. Just out of her way so she can do something about these things. )
did i say this was gonna get worse? because it's getting worse
