An animal, cornered and starving, but not caged, that was the mistake, because he can still fight. He was ready to stop it, save it, but... well, to do that, he'd have to make it to the end, and there was no guarantee he would be able to, now, with his supplies taken, so it's disappointing, but he supposes their fight can be now, unless something else sees fit to end it prematurely.
He'll steady his breathing, wait until Takasugi is four long paces away, and then strike, pull the knife and his hand up from the ground in one movement, keeping it lodged, but wrapping his fingers around the hilt to keep it secure. He'll use forward momentum to run, three quick steps, and then a jump up and forward just before he enters striking distance with the bat, aiming to come down knife-first and...
