It was just like that wardrobe she was locked in for a day and a night many years ago at the Sakuragi Mansion.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Outside the tightly closed cabinet door, a frenzy of pounding continued, like an evil spirit knocking on the door.
In the small, dark space, Sakuragi Hitomi dared not lift her head, so she closed her eyes and hugged her knees tightly,
"Bang... Bang... Bang..."
The pounding grew softer until it ceased completely.
Yet inside the cabinet, Sakuragi Hitomi, curled into a ball, remained motionless, not daring to move even a step.
She simply buried her head deeply into her arms, her body trembling with breathless gasps,
"Ugh..."
...
...
Inside the Skytree, An Le squinted her eyes, watching through the tentacle's extended vision at the unyieldingly closed, seemingly indestructible cabinet door...
Eventually, she manipulated the tentacles to gradually withdraw from the mall.
