”Me? Personally?” Buddingtonite considered the question but only briefly, before shaking his head and not once glancing back at the double that contended with the weighted belts. The longer he spent trying to fight his way out of them, the more time he had to escape. He did NOT want to die this evening… what part of that didn't people just not understand? “Nothing. The minute he’s out of sight, and you, I’m powering down… then he won’t find me, and then… he’ll not be my problem!”

He knew it’d be a temporary solution, and that going back and killing the double would have been a more permanent one, but he had no strength to do so, and he couldn’t even think to ask Lyceum to do it. Yes, best just to leave it well enough alone and hope that his double got hit by a car or another came along to kill him.

“Of course I have some place safe to go… last I checked, that thing can’t follow me to the Rift, and if that’s the only way to keep him away from me, then I’d whether be neck deep in youma!” Buddingtonite never once considered if the White Moon and their allies even knew of the Rift nor what kind of valuable information he was lending her, but if he did, it would have been perfect payment for her helping him escape. “Until then… let’s make sure you have someplace safe to go…. because I know I can’t bring you with me, not unless you intend on becoming a member of my fanclub on the other side. Come on…”
