"Holy shit!"
The boards collapsed. Stuck on the other side were Isshiki, his girl and Kurona. Daichi glanced down at the looming darkness, trying to judge the distance between them and the other three.
"I- I can try to jump it--"
"What, and carry us across? That's suicide, Hatch! Just go on!"
"Shit-- you guys be safe over there alright?! Don't die!"
Daichi hesitantly proceeded along with Kyosuke and the others. Upon coming to the mausoleum, he grimaced; it looked like a scene straight from an abandoned funeral or something. Grave markers were all around the place.
"Help me get this open."
Daichi walked over, attempting to pry the ancient doors open. While struggling, he glanced over.
"You think this place has any more freaky monsters? I can't really see any places where light could shine in, like that creepy thing in the library."
And right after Irie warned them to proceed with caution, the fucking boards collapsed.
Isshiki winced, shaking his head. Had they been in their normal lives right now, Irie probably would have made a comment about being clairvoyant or something. Looking at her, she seemed to be thinking exactly that.
Still, they were now progressing through the lower path, which was honestly...not the safest-feeling road. But it wasn't like any place in this damn town was safe.
What more, the path seemed to be heading in only one direction.
"Makes me wonder if there's going to be a dead end," Isshiki muttered. "A bit odd that it's not branching off, unlike the other paths we've seen so far..."
