Stein had turned to slash Birkin, his face contorting with wild, maniacal glee in response to the taunt, when Adachi's attack came out of nowhere and cut him down. He roared, pushing himself up on multiple legs, dripping blood on the floor and staggering a little.
They traded blows and taunts, back and forth, Stein only able to go after one of them at a time, but his attacks hitting hard when they connected.
Finally he slumped to the floor and shimmered, the real Stein slipping from inside the monster like some kind of bizarre birthing. He slumped to the floor, panting, while the shadow - looking like a yellow-eyed Stein again - lay spreadeagled on the floor, giggling.
Stein held his own head in both hands. "No...I'm better than that. It's not just because of Senpai that I'm not just doing anything I want," he muttered.
