Shiro heard footsteps coming from outside the room. He went to reach for his pistol but found it was gone. He waited until the person was about to enter the room and turned around the corner and put the man into a choke hold.
"Who are you and where am I?," said Shiro,
"Are you a freelancer?".
Going back to the battle he also asked, "Where is my core fighter and do you know where that Kampfer went?"
