Hideaway

Ever since his high school years, Kai Mori and his three friends Michael, Will, and Damon have called themselves the Four Horsemen. In their younger days, they engaged in violent, harmful pranks every October 30, which they called “Devil’s Night.” Now, Kai stands in the dojo across from the Pope Hotel, the abandoned hotel where many regrettable events of his past took place. Hidden, he stares at Rika (his friend Michael’s love interest), who sits in her car, looking at her phone as rain pours down around her. Kai dons his silver skull mask—his persona as one of the Horsemen—and watches as Rika comes into the building. He is standing on the second level, looking down at her, and he feels a perverse thrill when he notices her nervous fear. Rika calls out to Kai, knowing that he is there but unable to see him. When he appears in front of her, he challenges her, forcing her to realize that she cannot know for sure if he is the one behind the mask.

As a twisted form of self-defense training, Kai “pretends” to assault Rika, attacking her and forcing himself on her as she fights back.
