“Baby!”

Baby Doll lifted her head. “Masayuki?” She tried to look through the brightly colored waves. The angel narrowed her eyes.

“I don’t see you. Where are you?”

“I’m right here.”

She tried to look forward. “I still can’t see you.”

“Just keep your head forward.”

“Okay.”

“Good, I can see you now.”

“How did you get in here?”

“The other angels helped me in. I’m to save you. You can’t stay here.” Footsteps walked closer. Baby Doll frowned.

“And how are you going to do that? I can’t even break the restraints myself.”

“I’m still going to try.” His footsteps circled around her. Baby Doll tried to look.

“I’m not the only one here.”

“Huh?”

“Hello,” Botan said next door.

“Gah!” Masayuki shouted.

“You have to get him out too,” Baby Doll said.

“Oh, no, no, no,” the other angel said.

“Alright,” Masayuki said. “But we don’t have much time. I don’t know how long I have before I end up trapped here.”

“Right, right, right,” Baby Doll said. She felt his hands on the right cuff.

“How do you get this off?” Masayuki asked at her side.

“I don’t know,” she whispered. But then she paused as she heard another set of footsteps.

“Don’t move,” she whispered.

“What?” he asked.

“Shhh. He’s coming back. Get down behind me.” She heard him pause and run behind her. Baby Doll turned her head forward as the door opened.

“Who were you talking to?” he asked as he stood in the doorway.
