A finger twitched.
Once more, and—
FLICKER.
A bright flash illuminated the room as Ryuk snapped his eyes open.
The first thing he saw were huge rainbow eyes blinking just a few inches from his face.
They moved farther away, and he sat up, only to be pushed back by Iris, who jumped into his arms, embracing him tightly.
Unconsciously, he exhaled in relief, wrapping his arm around her.
"I'm glad you're okay," he whispered, their embrace lasting for a long while before they finally parted.
"Where's the Zaffre Kraken?"
He asked himself, only to watch Iris turn her gaze behind her.
Right now, they were both in the room he had designed, and divided by the glass wall was the other laboratory, currently filled to the brim with water.
And even more shocking — inside the lab was the Zaffre Kraken.
But currently, it was pinned to the wall, its entire body flattened like a paste, staring at Ryuk.
