Even Echizen knew better than to register the other problem he saw with this arrangement after Fuji stepped up and claimed one of them.

Well. It would make him stronger, right?

Kneeling by the last remaining victim, he made several attempts to shift Jackal's weight from the ground to himself, each one more awkward than the one before. It wasn't just an issue of weight, but of size. Jackal was tall and muscular; Echizen was... still growing. How was he going to do this?

Standing back up, Echizen looked at the limp body and frowned in thought. Finally, he settled for hunching down at Jackal's shoulders and picking him halfway up under the arms, dragging him backwards for the cabin.
