Youmu passed through the doorway...

The fact that the exited the stagecoach was only the first in a series of strange things about this new location. To begin with, the more the diminutive half-phantom took in their surroundings, the more appallingly run-down and decrepit they appeared. Youmu had never seen anywhere so terribly ruined, and it was almost sad simply to look at. What had happened here? The ruined city, while destroyed, had appeared to be in a far better condition then this place. What had happened to everyone? All she saw was one man, trying to hide a rictus grin. The sight unnerved her, her phantom half drifting from side to side as she cautiously stepped forward, one hand drifting close to Roukanken's hilt as she did. She didn't like any of this, not one bit.

But... This was also their only way forward, at least that Youmu knew of, that showed any sign of figuring out just what was happening. It seemed like something wanted them to come here, yes, but that didn't mean they truly had any other choices.

She took a deep breath. This was for Yuyuko-sama's sake, after all.

"... Hello?"
