Soldier Boy headed straight to the 76th floor of Vought Tower.
This was the temporary isolation area Vought had provided, and where Kimiko was currently being held.
The door was ajar, and Japanese music drifted out from inside. Soldier Boy kicked it open.
The expensive wooden door struck the wall with a dull thud.
At the sound, Kimiko whipped her head around.
She had been sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the television, and was a little annoyed at the interruption. But when she saw the familiar figure slung over Soldier Boy's shoulder, she froze as though struck by lightning.

Holding Kenji, Soldier Boy casually tossed him onto the floor.
Kimiko immediately crouched down and reached out to stroke her brother.
But just before her fingertips touched him, she suddenly stopped. Kenji's eyes were closed, and he had not reacted even when he was thrown onto the floor.
She had been too excited to notice that before. The look in Kimiko's eyes changed instantly, and she did not dare touch Kenji, afraid that what she touched would be a cold body.

Soldier Boy glanced at her and said flatly, "He wouldn't behave, so I knocked him out. Don't worry."
Hearing that, Kimiko almost
