"...Lead... lead the way?" Beatrix repeated, the hesitant tone in her voice obviously nothing more than a commoner's imagination. Her dual-coloured eyes flicked towards the alley (did that thing just get darker and longer since she last looked at it?) and back towards the girls as she tried to think of a good excuse to avoid traversing that place.

Unfortunately, Beatrix' genius intellect was not able to find a solution in time, as Saten was already beckoning her inside, and before she knew it, was already taking small steps towards the alley.
[i]There's nothing in there, there's nothing in there...[/i] Beatrix told herself, staring at the ghost-laden space with a small grimace. There was no way she'd be attacked by ghosts, right? What was it supposed to do... right, right, just attack the commoners! So Beatrix was perfectly safe! Uiharu and Saten were the ones that had to worry, but if a powerful genius like Beatrix was there, then no ghost would dare show itself! It was going to be all right!

And so, with her chin raised high, Beatrix put on her smuggest grin and took a step inside.
