Inside the bag there was a glow.

–Two eyes.

“I see,” Alba thought as he nodded.
He saw this bag earlier and had thought to himself it looked similar to something. It was really
simple. Why hadn’t he noticed it sooner?
The cube was too large to be called a bag. Didn’t it look exactly like the box that contains demons
straight from mythology?
Thus, an unknown black creature materialized from the box, black thorny tentacles reached out and
grabbed Cornelius Alba.
The creature pulled him straight into the box, starting from his feet he was chewed upwards by
thousands of small mouths. There were crunching sounds as he was being eaten alive. Just before he
was annihilated, when everything below his neck was gone, he made eye contact with the Puppeteer
who was looking down at him with a detached gaze.
As I die this horrific death she’s watching me, her eyes filling with ridicule.
That alone made him regret that there was no way he could have competed with her.
He recalled his last exchange of words with Araya. Araya must have anticipated this is what would
happen to Cornelius Alba.
As the last fragments of brain were being chewed.
... I failed.
