[h3][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEAplFuv2OE]Sato Hashimoto // Sapphire Inn, F2 -> Royal Suite[/url][/h3] The entire team jumped on the moment before any other shit, blasting the monkey with everything they had. Luckily, the shadow failed to realize it was even taking damage, so it was a quick moment of going all-out before the shadow was ripped apart into a fine black dust that was swept away in the breeze created by their wind attacks. With their leader defeated, any remaining small shadows fled into the mist with a single look, the lack of purpose and chance of winning driving them away. With that done, Sato took a deep breath, breathing in the thick onsen air. He looked over to Chronos, who was standing over the spot where the leader monkey had been, and, like it was just a dream, the persona disappeared into nothingness as well. A vague sense of vertigo overtook Sato for a moment, a pounding in the back of his skull stopping him in his tracks as the team was starting to head forward. He'd felt it before; back in a few battles against peoples' shadows. It soon faded with a moment of rest, the mental fatigue dripping away like water from wet clothes, and he caught up with the rest of his team. The party moved on through the dungeon, and before long, Sato found himself walking out of the inn-like tunnels and into a courtyard area, a "Royal Suite" being garishly advertised by an entrance to somewhere. The bright lighting and haphazard decoration of a traditional architecture did little to ease Sato's tension, and even when Rui joked about being a save-point room, Sato couldn't help but feel like something would jump out at them as some kind of miniboss. Even as the other team emerged from behind a wall, he couldn't feel as though something was amiss. Regardless, though, Sato found himself ignoring his anxiety and shifting his focus from the shadows and onto the merging of the two teams, and more specifically onto Mako. After the entire squad had a brief chat regarding what they were doing, when everyone broke away to rest up a bit, Sato decided to inch over to Mako. "I don't exactly know how it was for you guys, but it looks like the two teams had to rely on eachother to get here. It's a good thing we had enough people, if that was the case." He said, fingers clutching tight to his bow. This would mark the first time they had fought with this many people at once, but they had two navigators to help out, so maybe it would work out well. Sato wasn't really sure how to help out, though; besides buffing defense, Sato didn't really have much to help out beyond throwing garus at shadows' faces. Maybe that was all that was necessary from him, though... Was he a DPS class? "Looks like we'll be tackling this next shadow together, though. How are you holding up?" Sato gave a smile, trying to show legitimate concern through the stress on his face.
