[h3][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5BDRpeMFkA]Sato Hashimoto // Royal Suite -> Main Room[/url][/h3] Sato was getting frustrating. They were obviously doing damage with their attacks, but it felt like they were getting nowhere with the battle as a whole, and Sato bet the shadows had more endurance than they did. If they couldn't figure out the trick to this fight, they would get overwhelmed by them sooner or later. Rui set Megumi to try to analyze the knights while they tried to take on the princess, so Sato braced himself for oncoming action. All he could really do for the time being was sling spells as best he could. As the team went in for a powerful strike, the Shogun defended their attacks with relative ease. At the same time, the princess the shadow carried suddenly let out a harsh wail, resonating inside Sato's skull. The familiar dull pounding of over-exertion started beating down on him, his vision blurring for a second before he got used to the feeling. Looking around for a brief moment, Sato could see that it was affecting everyone-- the entire team wasn't exactly feeling it anymore. Rui ordered for buffs if possible, but Sato couldn't exactly do anything to mitigate feeling like shit. Apparently Akane had something though, and Rui asked for that to be put up so he could go in to test Megumi's theory. Sato didn't really want to waste any strength he had in him for the moment, so after quickly putting up a Marakukaja in attempt to protect the debilitated team, afterwards unsummoning his persona and only used it if need be.
