Kaiji's face quickly snapped back to a serious expression. It was time for them to move forward, and he was fully aware that their night was only beginning. He had been screwed over too many times before by getting overconfident thanks to the little victories that he had earned or more often was given. False security was never a good thing. "Right with you all the way," he answered compliantly. As if he was going to wander off on his own and get himself killed. He wasn't like some people.

With that, Kaiji shoved his inactive flashlight under his left arm and began to follow Sora up the steps, moving slightly more slowly and using the feel and rhythm of the stairs to avoid tripping rather than relying on sight.
