Kido's heart skips a beat hearing that, but considering how fast her heart is pounding with fright, it feels more like her heart is seizing up and she's dying, especially when the man gets kicked back and she ducks her head, muffling a whimper against Terry's side.
The man slams backwards against the suit of armor in the room, where it falls apart and clangs against the ground, spear dropping to one side and the butcher knife to the other, but the man is only disoriented, still alive, grabbing the knife from the ground and this time he pulls his arm back to throw the knife without getting close to Terry.
Kido screams for him to stop, and what plays out in the memory is exactly how she remembers it: she doesn't. One moment she's cowering behind Terry, and the next thing she knows, she's running for the spear without thinking and plunging the tip through the man's chest, her father looking at her with eyes full of fear as he falls. ]
