The Reaper. Now there's a guy Shinjiro had absolutely zero interest in facing. He nodded his agreement at that statement, falling into step behind her so that she could lead the way. It's funny how he'd gotten into that habit in such a short time, but he honestly didn't mind. She was so level-headed in a fight that it made it easy to listen to what she had to say.

Like now... "Now there's a damned good reason," he acknowledged. And a thousand more questions sprang forward— how did she know they were here, how did she know where— but he let them stay in his head. It was enough that she had answered.

And frankly, it was more than he'd expected. Not that she seemed like a secretive person so much as one who wasn't often questioned in these matters. Whatever reason she'd found to explain herself, it was appreciated. He opened his mouth to thank her, but—

He strained his ears again, listening. He was certain there was someone or something around here, but with the damned darkness around them, who could even tell? Damn Tartarus anyway, stupid tower and its stupid shifting twists and turns and tricks. They'd be well enough rid of it once their mission was ended.

Not that he'd be there to see it.
