There was too much at risk. They reached to the first floor of the classroom building with little issues. Ryoma went ahead of the other two, as he figured he's the most experienced and he's not sure yet if Jin can summon their Persona easily yet. And he's not even considering putting Ai in front, she's can't fight like they can, and would be at risk of dying painfully if she got caught in a monster's attack, he couldn't even imagine how a normal human taking one of those strange magical attacks. ... Huh, 'Normal'? Ryoma always wanted to be different, but he didn't expect to so different so quickly, this whole thing felt like a dream but yet it wasn't, it was a nightmarish reality, where Jin and himself became something 'Different' Could they still be called humans? Humans can't summon a metaphysical representation of their ego. Where did this power come from? And is it as much of a miracle as he previously thought? Or is it a curse? Ryoma's expression turned sullen and thoughtful as he walked down the hall not even noticing the conversation between Ai and Jin. but suddenly he noticed a plank of wood holding a lock in place. Ryoma's expression changed again, to a confuse look and a tilt of his head. Ryoma looked at the lock then at the piece of wood. Ryoma looked back to Ai and Jin. [color=3333ff][b]"Hey guys, this door's barricaded."[/b][/color] Is what Ryoma yelled out to the two. Silently, Ryoma looked back at the lock and gently tapped it. He wasn't an idiot enough to break down the plank of wood without second thoughts and back up. This could be locked up for a reason, what that reason was impossible to know. But he should get Ai-Chan and Jin-San's thoughts first.
