"Okay, I totally get where you're coming from right now, but there's only so far you can charge into danger before you end up having to be saved too, y'know?" Ren sighed, following up on the rest of the group's commentary towards Ayumi's behavior. Reckless behavior in a place like this... Just from playing games alone the young man knew how badly that would end up. Even with that information aside, it had already been made clear that whatever the power of the charms was had an effective range, and, well...

"...In any case, we should try forging ahead with [i]some[/i] degree of caution, though; regardless of who's in the group, I'm pretty sure we can't save your friend if we're all battered and bruised from running into... Whatever the hell else lives in this place right now."

Though his words were still a tad cautious, the college student felt that at least some voice of reason would help things along... Kind of.

"Oh, right, you wanted my name again? It's Ren. Amazawa Ren. Yours was... Uh... Yagra, right? I think that was it," he began to mutter as he followed along down the steps of the shrine, hands in his pockets as his eyes flitted around the stalks of bamboo around the path. "And, hey, to be fair, I've never seen something [i]that[/i] big rushing at my face before. Fight or flight response, y'know?"

Internally criticizing himself at his own half-assed justification of his behavior yesterday, Ren sighed as he finished the walk down the steps...

Only to see that the path that they were on was some weird amalgamation of rustic paved-stone road and asphalt-driven street. The sight boggled Ren's mind, if only because of how strange it all seemed (was the road paved over or something?), but he decided to wave it off and glanced back and forth. The steps had led to a fork in the road, of course, and the buildings to either side of them seemed to be either old Edo-era buildings or more modern suburban houses... Or something.

"...Okay, the anachronisms here are [i]really[/i] weird. I guess that this means that the 'mirror' part of the description kinda fits," he remarked before sighing. "Though, given the current layout of the road here, I'm gonna assume that the layout of the city itself is parallel to Yuzoraku's... Or, well, something like that. I guess that figuring out where your friend was last seen is probably a good start, because we're probably gonna just let fate take the wheel and pick a direction for us, huh?"
