While she had probably long since earned that right, it made for an annoying jostling for the shared mind inside her. The JSTR felt nearly compelled to make a sawing cut run right through Vi-vi for being the source of Kanbaru’s head flopping harder under her hat. It also felt a desire to smack the whale across the back of her locks once again.

But it refrained from either of those for now when their surroundings had to be taken into account. Riku and Thomas were gone but no doubt not too far off, and their demonic guide had flitted away as well. It knew Runa would return though, unlike the missing Katie and Ami; the demon always returned when the forces of the Abyss creeped closer. It was that very scenario that had the virus almost sneering in imagery only Kanbaru could see because soon enough and just like before, the air grew denser, colder.

The very same phenomenon that made manifest before and gave Runa cause to flee returned, the thick fog having found their hiding spot at last. Much like before, all in its presence decayed to ruination. The great rock structures dissolved as if they were melting, aging with process and run rotted to the core while the ground patched itself with horrible mutation unnatural even to the Abyss. The very air, despite the thick fog, grew thinner as if the very oxygen was dying.

The JSTR prodded Kanbaru’s brain to take note of this as soon enough they’d be trapped and forced to find a new location. Runa’s appearance to lead them to such wouldn’t be unexpected either because the fog had long since caught up to her location with Riku and Thomas. Indeed, the JSTR waited curiously for the demonic blunette’s next move and word of advice.
