[The further away they go, the weaker the hugging urge seems to get? Until Sayo no longer can see that dead looking guy and he stops trying to go after him.]
Did he ever stop?
[Or is Taroutachi still at large, laughing and hugging all in his reign of terror?]

[Sayo also checked his CereVice for the time. Ah, it's that late? His brothers would be worried. He looks up at William and nods.]
Thank you... and to you as well.
[And since that's as good as it get, Sayo turns to leave. He did pause to look back at William, mostly to check on him, before he looks away and resume his return home.]

[Oh, good! That means Kashuu has a decent method of saving Sayo from further traumatizing himself.]
Eventually, yeah. But it was still waaay too long and super, super creepy. ...You still seeing weird stuff?

[ Kousetsu might not look it but the apparition is affecting him somewhat as he stills before turning around, eyes never meeting the strange figure before him. ]
...no. But there must be a way out. [ Time for scouting! ]
...if we continue walking I am sure we will find one.
...no. But there must be a way out. [ Time for scouting! ]
...if we continue walking I am sure we will find one.
[Let him scout! Sayo have good scouting skills. Sayo nods and start to look around, before he walks.]
Yeah.
...I hope Master doesn't see them. [He have enough on his plate to worry about without seeing their younger selves.]
Yeah.
...I hope Master doesn't see them. [He have enough on his plate to worry about without seeing their younger selves.]
[HE CAN HOLD ON AS TIGHTLY AS A REVENGE OBSESSED PERSON WITH A GRUDGE.
AND OFF THEY GO, FASTER AND FASTER. Will they find the stairs or a door...?]

[ And running it is. Mitsutada might not have enough eyes to keep on both the road ahead and the two ghosts following them, but he has enough hearing ability to distinguish their footsteps from his own.
Strange, how they can interact with the environment, but not them.
It takes a while, four pairs of feet echoing throughout the long corridor - but at last, a door comes into view - slammed open to reveal a stairway towards what is presumably the first floor. He lets Sayo go up first before ascending himself. Just as expected, the apparitions stop at the threshold and fade away as they climb.
Mitsutada doesn't speak until they make it to the main lobby. His expression is pinched and worried, distinctively different from his usual cheer. ]
... hey, you alright?
[ Just... in case? ]

[After they finally made it to the main lobby, Sayo didn't answer at first. He just looked over his shoulder at the direction where they came from. He already knew the apparitions didn't follow them this far - he didn't feel the stares or his own voice calling out to him - but he still looked.
And then, he finally answer.]
... I'm alright. [Maybe.] But I don't like it.
[Sayo doesn't care if others saw his younger self. But he's more worried about what it means for others, such as his brothers or his master.]

Yes, I...
[Sayo pauses and blinks. His vision seems to be... shifting? He looks up at Kashuu's dead face, watching as his vision seems to be changing. Until Kashuu's lively, brighter self stands there before him, instead of his dead, broken form.]
...no?
[He blinks again, before rubbing his eyes. A trick or did he return to normal?]

[She nods at his plan.]
I believe that to be a well chosen plan of action. This labyrinth has pitfalls scattered about; if we are careful, we may be able to lure the monsters into one should the need arise.
[Hopefully, the need won't arise, but she's not that naive as to hope for a smooth journey.]

[He glances back over when the "yes" shifts to a "no", brow arching curiously.]
No? What, did it clear up?
[Seems to be the case, given the abrupt change and the fact that Sayo is rubbing his eyes.]

[He lowers his hands and slowly nods.]
Yes. You look normal again to me.
[Thank goodness. It's getting rather awkward walking with a dead corpse.]
Yes. You look normal again to me.
[Thank goodness. It's getting rather awkward walking with a dead corpse.]
[Hopefully. Sayo is light and fast on his feet, but they still need to be careful.]
Right. [He looks up at her.] Are you ready to go?
Right. [He looks up at her.] Are you ready to go?
[Kashuu could only imagine... Not that he willingly would. But he can see the relief there, and so he reaches out with his free hand to ruffle Sayo's hair.]
So it didn't last super long, right? Not bad, not bad.

[Sayo blinks at the hair ruffling. But since Kashuu looks, well, normal and alive to him, he feels a little better about receiving it.]
I'm glad... I don't want to see our comrades dead if it last longer.
[...Man, people do like to ruffle his hair a lot, huh. Wait, since this is ViViD, his hair would look normal back in the real world.]

[He's just got a very ruffle-able head, apparently.]
It probably woulda stopped as soon as we left, anyway.

I am. Shall I take the lead? You need not worry about my ability to take care of myself; I am more than capable of doing so, despite my lack of weapons.
[She gives him a confident smile. While she prefers to have her weapons with her, she can take down threats without if need be. Ideally she'd prefer not to take on too many of them, but...she's been in worse situations.]

[Just don't mess up his ponytail too much. Souza tied it up for him.]
Maybe. But I don't trust it.
[He never trust anything that CERES can possibly fool around with. Even if they didn't, he's not the most trusting sword around.]

[He looks at her, before he slowly nods.]
Alright. I can watch our backs. [Tantous are best for fast, sneaky attacks, after all. Even though he's the type to charge in.] You know unarmed combat skills? Or magic?
[If she can defend herself without her weapons, those are his logical guesses.]

[He's careful with the ponytail, of course! Hair rufflings shouldn't come at the cost of style.]
Probably smart of you. [He isn't surprised; Sayo's always suspicious... But it's actually usually well-earned in this stupid city.]
Anyway, if you're better now, let's get out of here.

Unarmed combat is not by any means a specialty of mine, but should it come to that, I will manage. I do have magical abilities as well, which I am more than confident in my ability to wield. Fear not; I will not get myself into a situation in which I cannot handle.
[Of course, she hasn't realized yet that she won't be able to channel the Dragon's Stream full power anymore... It'll be a different story once that happens. She's grown too reliant on it.]

[ 'I don't like it.'
Mitsutada could say the same for himself, to be honest. It might sound too easy to write the ghosts off as some sort of diversion NPC or other, but the fact that they kept saying ominous things just added to the creepiness of it all. ]
... yeah. Wonder why they'd pop up all of a sudden, huh?
[ He runs a hand through his hair to try and appear more relaxed, but it doesn't exactly work.
How did they know about his Oda self? The part of him that he's always denied? ]
This is a hospital, it's not for dying in. Unless... someone got murdered here?
[ But who? ]

[If she try to do that here later, it would make things a little more difficult and distracting.]
Understood. [He just have to avoid being in the line of fire, so to speak.] Are you ready to go?
[Unless she need a moment to prepare?]

[He nods. After everything so far, he doesn't think staying around longer for possible information is worth the trouble.]
Let's get out, Kashuu.
[He wants to go home and... maybe not vent, but probably snack angrily.]
