[Afterward, he's going to make sure to take Yoimiya somewhere to get her ice cream or snacks or any kind of treat she wants. It pains him to see the look on her face whenever she has to recount that horrifying night. But the rest of the story seems to go off without a hitch, all the way up till the end when she had to get him in a taxi to the hospital. That's all there is, right? He's pretty sure there's nothing else in need of being recounted, not that it all couldn't be explained by their investigation anyway. Surely they would have found the back door wide open, noting how they escaped...and they hadn't done anything anyway to draw suspicion towards them.
All the evidence they need is plastered all over the ground in the form of that strange abyssal texture, and the DNA should be all over the place too.]
No, thankfully. I was out for some time, and stayed there for as long as they told me to.
[Ajax is relieved to say that. Nothing significant, that is, in regards to the monster that attacked us.]
The hospital reported you recovered quicker than most people with the injuries you had, Mr. Volkov. We're all glad to see you're in good health now. Thank you both for your help with this, but I do need to tell the both of you this.
[The officer pauses, to put down his pen and notepad.]
We discovered the monster here at the scene, lying on the ground and seemingly either knocked out or dead. No one was allowed to touch the body until we had all safety precautions in place, but before we could investigate, it got up and made its way out of the building and somewhere into the city.
[He feels his blood freeze at that information. They had worried that it hadn't died, that it was still alive and might come for them. Ajax can't even hide the terror on his face.]
As you can imagine, his family is besides themselves that there's no telling what's become of their husband and father. But whatever thing took him is out there, and might still possibly be using his body. Be on the lookout.
[Ajax nods and swallows hard- this isn't what he wanted to hear. No wonder he hadn't asked about the broken arm. He looks over to Yoimiya, his eyes wide. They were in trouble.]
