Sato was paired with Kami, Jun, and Shizuka, a fact he wasn't too sure about. He didn't remember working with them much before, and Jun was completely new, so Sato decided he'd proceed with extra caution than usual. The whole of Seto was different from what they usually dealt with as well, so it was... mysterious, to say the least.

	There wasn't really anywhere to go, as far as Sato could see, so the party took cautious steps forward. While it had looked like water, putting his foot in it instead revealed a staircase that lead down below the water. It was hard to see where they were going with the ominous glow and translucency of the veil they descended through, but the broad steps brought them through to a wooded road soon enough. The light filtering down from the surface ominously flickered and flowed across the ground, and the air was hard to breath. It would feel like drowning, if it wasn't for how utterly serene yet out-of-place everything felt. It was more like some surreal fever dream more than anything...

	The presence seemed to be coming from the towering church they encountered on a fork in the road, but Sato wouldn't get the opportunity to check it out as he and the others headed off the other way while Rui's group took it on. Instead, Kami lead them down the main road, which soon started taking a more winding path through what appeared to be a rocky trail through a forest.

	Soon enough the group found themselves standing outside some Japanese village, another torii serving as another entrance. It was mysteriously void of any life or movement, which was in of itself unsettling, but something in Sato said that it would have been worse to have seen anything in such a weird place. Everyone seemed to agree that their only real course of action was to investigate the ghost town, and as such Kami took point again with the rest of the group trailing behind as they started searching the village for anything of note. Sato tried to peak through windows and into buildings, even working up the courage to try to open a door, but the ones he tried by the entrance torii were blocked by something on the other side. Perhaps there was some other house they needed to check... Or was there something waiting for them further in?
