Rashoumon pulls the package forward, and with it, Atsushi, holding onto the box like a parasite. Akutagawa tries then to shake Atsushi off of it, flinging the box around in the air, only to have no such luck. So he slams him back down into the pavement, hard enough that the ground will crack beneath him.

What the hell...?

Akutagawa steps forward when he realizes that Atsushi won't be getting up, raising a leg and stepping on the weretiger's injured shoulder. Digging his heel into the wound, Akutagawa grinds his foot downwards. He's not particularly a sadist -- he prefers cleaner, more instant kills -- but when it comes to Atsushi, he'll make an exception. Especially now that he can't simply kill him.

"What are you doing?" Why isn't he letting go? Has Akutagawa not put him through enough by now? This all really would be easier if he could just kill him.
