Dr Takuto Maruki

But the Shadow isn't open to reason. It's been too much, and lasted too long; he knows Maruki far too well. And perhaps most of all, now, he has something to protect: the small, bright remnant of Ren that shines within him.

LIAR! echoes the voice, distorted and inhuman—and close, far closer than before; the shaking is unfathomable. MONSTER! I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!

And, through the dust of the crumbling tunnel, two yellow eyes shine hell-bright in the dark, before two thick, black tentacles fly towards Maruki, faster than the eye can see.
