Ken just scowls at that. "Shamal wouldn't help enough, byon!" And as if that's decided him, he finally pulls himself away from Chikusa, moving away from the wall to glare up at the building.

Then he leaps. He scrambles up the side of the building with the assistance of animal agility and claws, sniffs at the first second-floor window he comes across, then leaps across to the next one down. This one apparently fits Ryohei's scent, and he slides open the window and disappears inside.

Thuds and snarls and yelling are shortly heard. Something shatters. After a minute, the light turns out. Chikusa is left to wonder, and possibly panic. Ryohei's a lot stronger now than he used to be.
