Dani was wandering around Stacy when she heard growling. Curiosity stronger than any caution, Dani went to investigate, flying down the hall when she stopped to see a struggling Bandit. "Bandit!" She shouted and flew over. "Stop it! Let Bandit go!"
It took a moment, but Danni's presence eventually registered enough that Bandit ceased to bark madly, his noise retreating into a dull whine, and then a pant as he let himself collapse onto the floor. After a few seconds, the tentacles released him, and he blearily looked at the ghost-girl.
