suffering and floundering as you move forward

The spider pulled out a stopwatch

"Look. this is a clock"

"No, sh** sherlock" hoshi coughed

"Oh shush it human soon to be spider slave"

"Would it hurt to say my name?"

"Shh! Anyways, do you know how this works? After the long hand moves around in one circle, you'll become the spider's companion."

The spider pointed at the 3

"Once the hand reaches here, your limbs will feel numb and painful."

Then he pointed at the 4

"When it reaches here, you'll feel dizzy and nauseous"

Then he pointed at the 6

"When it's here, you'll feel excruciating pain. Your body will shrink, and you'll lose consciousness. After that, when you wake up…"

The clock moves from 10:55 to 10:56.

Zenitsu started to scratch, and the human headed spiders started to crowd them.

The zenitsu started to run away

"Even if you run--"

"I KNOW, IT'S USELESS!!"

Then he ended up climbing a tree.

Meanwhile, kuki and hoshi were slashing the spider...people

"ZENITSU...koff...GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND HELP! Koff koff" hoshi yelled

"What are you doing?" the spider asked zenitsu

"SHUT UP!!"

"Don't be afraid. When the toxins spread until you turn into a spider, you'll lose your intelligence too."

"NO!! THAT'S WHAT I HATE!! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS OR LOVERS, DO YOU?! NO WONDER YOU'RE HATED!!"

"OI! YOU WANT ME TO POISON YOU AGAIN SO THAT YOU CAN TURN INTO A SPIDER FASTER, DO YOU?!"

"NO! I DON'T WANT THAT!! I DON'T WANT TO BECOME THAT"

"GET IT TOGETHER! DON'T CRY! DON'T RUN AWAY! YOUR ACTIONS ARE MEANINGLESS!" hoshi yelled

Then the spiders started to climb up the tree he was in.

"KUKI-"

"GOT IT!"

Hoshi stared at the spider demon

"LISTEN YOU...SPIDER! Koff...I MAY HAVE NO SENSE OF SMELL FOR NOW, BUT I CAN STILL ATTACK YOU" she yelled

What the heck am i saying?!

I can't attack him, I use my sense of smell to predict attacks!

WHO KNOWS HOW I'LL DEFEAT HIM?!

"HOSHI!" kuki yelled

"WHAT?!"

"ZENITSU FAINTED"

"Pardon--"

Then he started to slide down the branch and fall.

Head first in fact.

The spiders were already attacking kuki, and hoshi already felt the poison set in.

"Sorry Kuki"

"Never thought i'd die this way"

Then without warning, zenitsu landed on his feet-

"What the-"

"Breath of thunder first form…"

Zenitsu jumped toward the spider demon.

The spider demon spit out some poison at him, but he dodged.

"KUKI! CAN YOU STILL WALK?!" hoshi yelled

"Sorta?"

He kicked the spider humans away from him.

"Okay good...i want you to cut the strings"

"Im sorry, what?!"

"You can use the tree's as the ledge! It's high enough to jump onto the cabin!"

"See, here's the thing, I'M THAT TALL PERSON WHO CAN'T JUMP!!"

"WELL WHO CARES, YOU HAVE A BREATHING TECHNIQUE!"

"WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?!"

"YEAH BUT I'M SHORT AND POISON SPREADS FASTER IN SHORT PEOPLE!!"

"WELL I'M POISONED TOO!!"
