Time passed slowly...
"Crack..."
"Crack?"
"Crack..."
In his groggy consciousness, Mono suddenly heard the sound of something being snapped near his ear.
This caused him to open his eyes hazily.
He was currently sitting on a chandelier hanging from the rafters, tightly clutching the hanging chain.
Ooo...
Not long ago, just before the cabinet fell, he luckily found this perch to evade the puppets' pursuit.
However, because the entire ordeal had exhausted his energy and he couldn't escape this ghostly place, he could only temporarily stay on the chandelier and fall asleep.
But why was there movement below now?
He remembered that these dolls had stopped moving once he left their range of perception. How were they moving again?
The cautious Mono fully woke up; he had to find out what happened while he was asleep.
He turned his head and looked down toward the hall floor.
When he clearly saw the scene in the hall, he was stunned.
This...
Below in the hall, a small figure was silently tearing off a doll's head, ripping off its limbs, and then throwing them aside.
Then, she walked to another doll and continued the same actions. At her feet, countless doll limbs had already piled up.
The layers of stacked remains all indicated that she had been doing this for a long time.
"Six is here!"
Mono snapped out of it, feeling a burst of joy at seeing the small Yellow Figure illuminated by the firelight.
But then, seeing her repeat these mechanical and seemingly "cruel" actions, he couldn't help but feel doubt and a hint of unease.
What's wrong with Six?
Even if she's here to save him, there's no need to be this ruthless.
Glancing again, Mono discovered that there were very few "intact" dolls left standing in the hall.
Mono looked at the ground, aimed himself, and then slowly let go.
Thud! In the darkness, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out.
Mono's body fell, landing in a pile of dismembered dolls. Because of the dolls' cushioning, he didn't suffer much impact.
However, this soft sound was very abrupt in the darkness.
Not far away, under the flickering light of the lighter, the small Yellow Figure suddenly stopped snapping a doll's arm and silently turned her head, looking toward the source of the noise.
Mono also looked over.
The next moment, their eyes met...
It felt like a moment, yet also seemed quite long. A silent stillness fell over the venue... The owners of those two gazes seemed stunned.
For a time, they both forgot to move...
Mono looked at the person before him in disbelief.
Is this... Six?
Her appearance was almost unchanged from usual, but those eyes were a pitch-black void.
The blackness wasn't like ink, but rather like a void containing nothingness. Within those eyes, there seemed to be nothing at all.
Darkness had swallowed everything.
Not a single glimmer of light or emotion could be seen within.
Yet, at the same time, those eyes that lacked any "light" felt so... terrifying.
Even though she did nothing and there wasn't the slightest ripple, just her quiet gaze made one feel as if they were being watched by the God of Death.
A sense of extreme pessimism couldn't help but well up from the heart.
It seemed that under the gaze of these eyes, everything would be unable to escape, only able to peacefully accept the fate she had prepared.
"Ding!"

Six had actually fallen into an abnormal state again, and...
Mono looked at the information flashing before him and finally understood why Six had turned those people into corpses.
