There was one thing that he hadn’t considered when coming up with his escape plan, and that was the fact that his scarf was usually tied so pulling it off was a chore. That made it hard for it to just fall off. However, in a case like this, where the scarf actually falling off would be preferable, it simply didn’t and he was stopped in his tracks and he stumbled back towards Kaito. A choking noise left the boy but that quickly disappeared as he struggled to try to untie his scarf.

“Now we’re gettin’ somewhere!” It wasn’t exactly what Kaito planned, though this would do. He made sure that he wasn’t actually restricting the smaller’s air flow as he continued to grasp the scarf tightly. “Alright! Here’s what’s gonna happen. Yer gonna apologize t’me and I’m gonna let’cha go, understand?”
He genuinely doubted the other would simply agree to his terms, but he figured it was simple enough of a request that he might indeed agree to it. He had steadied himself and was prepared to run again should Ouma want to continue the chase, though he would have preferred not to run any more. There was a limit to his stamina of course. “There ain’t any other way. All I want’s an apology.”
