Softening them up while avoiding their range seemed to work. Everyone had some form of magical attack to use, and when the time was right, Rui and Kami would charge in and strike the shadows down. As the battle continued, the numbers of shadows would thin, and thin, until there was nothing left. As the battle ended, the room changed back to the familiar look of Ayano's house.

[color=magenta][i]"It looks like you're all in the clear... The second floor seems to be open now"[/i][/color], with that new information, the party decided to move on into the 2nd floor.

As the party rose to the second floor, the scenery was... Different. It was dark, illuminated only by webs with what appeared to be electricity travelling through the threads. Kami also made out that this was the second floor to Ayano's house, although all the doors seemed to be locked, except for one it seems, and it was the door to Ayano's room.

[color=magenta][i]"There's a big reading behind that door... But someone is there too. That must be where she is"[/i][/color], with that confirmation, Kami without ceremony pushed the door open and rushed in. As everyone trailed behind him, they realized and learned why this dungeon was called the 'Cave of Solitude'. Ayano's room was the cave. They came out into a spacious cavern, and would quickly notice how thick with spider webbing it was, emanating with electricity like some kind of network. As some of them got closer, they would realize that these webs were made from wires and cables. The party would hear talking, between likely Ayano and her shadow, though soon it would be interrupted.

[color=aba000]"Ayano!"[/color], Kami seemed to be overtaken by a sense of urgency as he swung right at Ayano's shadow, who simply stepped back away as she continued to speak.
