[ ... glances back ]

Simply like that?

[supraliminally]

[Just. Stares at him.]

[adisaster]

[ fine god

turning to head in the opposite direction!! ]

[supraliminally]

[Well fine!

There's a weird choking noise behind you, though, when you turn.]

[adisaster]

[ um

looks back behind him ]

[supraliminally]

[It's cool there are just weird hands around Yukari's neck. Not even a thing to worry about.]

[adisaster]

[ um that's a problem!!!

HEADS BACK FOR HER ]

[supraliminally]

[THEY'RE NOT... STRANGLING YET...?]

[adisaster]

[ ... can he reach to try to pry them off ... ?? ]

[supraliminally]

[He can try, but they won't budge. They just tighten, slightly.]

[adisaster]

[ ... looks at Yukari ]

Are you going to do anything about that.

[supraliminally]

Ąbo͞ut͘ what̴?

[adisaster]

You're being strangled.
