Re: [Midboss: Crying Table] Halfway through floor 6
Actually seeing Kouchisei there made Toshimi suddenly feel like she was intruding. If he didn't want to go back, maybe there was no point in taking him back. But they'd already come far enough that it would be ridiculous to leave without accomplishing anything. She never would have expected him to act like he was acting, but she hadn't known him that well in the first place. She decided to try a different approach.
"Oubai-san, uh, maybe you haven't seen them, but there are these Shadow things all over the place here, and they're violent. They've been attacking us and I'm sure they'll attack you too if you run into them." Sometimes stating the obvious worked, but sometimes it didn't. She couldn't level her argument with why the table in the middle wasn't doing anything, after all. Still, she couldn't back out from it now. "If you're serious about helping people, you might consider not having them in dangerous situations. But..." she looked around at the others. "We're not leaving here without you."
