It was no wonder Six would act this way once she fell into an abnormal state.
But why...
Then, Mono became puzzled.
He only knew that Six would only enter this state to perform "self-rescue" when encountering desperate situations or circumstances.
Could it be that when she came to find him, seeing these moving dolls made her feel afraid, so she snapped?
That shouldn't be possible.
With Six's courage, no matter how creepy these dolls were, it was impossible for her to be so scared that she'd fall into an abnormal state.
Not to mention she was still holding a lighter.
Seeing how she knew to hold up the lighter and take the opportunity to dismantle the dolls while they were immobile, Six clearly understood that these dolls were afraid of light sources.
Since she had mastered the dolls' weakness, it was impossible for Six to be driven into a corner by them.
Mono was confused.
However, while he was still worried and perplexed.
Clatter.
A broken doll and an arm that Six had been clutching tightly slowly fell to the ground.
She seemed to have finally reacted to what she was seeing.
Then, she took a step and walked toward him.
Mono instinctively clenched his hand.
Six's current gaze was truly terrifying.
No emotion, no ripples.
The pressure it brought was even greater than what the swarm of dolls had just given him.
But in just a brief moment, Mono silently relaxed his hand.
No matter how abnormal Six became, she wouldn't hurt him.
After all, they had been together for so long; even plants, kittens, or puppies would have feelings... or an understanding.
Not to mention it was Six.
Six was still Six; in Mono's eyes... she had never changed.
She wouldn't hurt him; he firmly believed this.
Of course, the reason he believed this so firmly wasn't because he believed in some so-called bond between him and Six.
Rather, it was because he believed in Six's essence; Six was "kind and loyal" to her own people—eerie but not evil, and certainly not some "weird" or "pure madman."
He believed she was inherently like this.
So she wouldn't, and couldn't, hurt him.
Walking forward, Six slowly came before him.
Those void eyes were still staring at him.
Mono felt a bit worried.
What exactly was going on?
Why did Six have emotional fluctuations?
Why did she become abnormal? Had she encountered something just now?
Could there be an even more terrifying existence within this darkness?
As the thought flashed by, Mono was just about to ask so he could find a way to let Six release her emotions and return to normal, but he suddenly felt himself being embraced.
"Uuugh... ah~"
A sob suddenly came from his arms, followed by choking sounds.
Seeing this, Mono was a bit dazed.
So, what exactly was going on?
What could make the fearless Six feel so afraid? Could it be...
Mono!!
Did that guy show up again?
Mono couldn't help but overthink; besides Mono, Six probably wouldn't feel fear toward anything else.
"Little Six, don't cry. What happened? Don't be afraid, tell me, I'll find a way to deal with it."
Mono said hurriedly.
If it was Mono, then things would be troublesome.
He still hadn't found the Fat Doctor hiding in the basement.
He didn't have enough strength to face him yet.
But he had to brace himself and comfort Six.
How could she be crying so sadly?
However, as he finished speaking, Six didn't stop her actions.
Mono only felt her body trembling quite violently, and her arms were holding him very...
...tightly. She really was... very nervous.
Seeing this, Mono couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Damn Mono, to actually scare Six into this state. He was furious, helpless, and frustrated, but more than anything, he felt sympathy. Six was truly pitiful.
She clearly did nothing wrong, yet had to endure such pain.
Mono now had one more reason in his heart to defeat Mono.
It wasn't just to break free from the cycle of fate that bound him.
It was also to end this meaningless, tragic life.
