Day 13, Night (Open) - What In Jigoku Is Going On?

Hisui is tired. She is confused. She is frustrated. She is angry. And if he was being honest with herself, more than a little scared. But through it all, she came to realize something. As much as she might think this was entirely beyond her area of expertise, it might not be. She does teach Enigmas, after all.

So she sits and tries to gather her thoughts. They were all, in some form or another, part of a dream. Goemon was in no condition to do anything, but wasn't in any danger from them either. The Spirit Realms were unbalanced. Yume-do was intersecting with Ningen-do. She doubted there was anything at all that could count as precedent for this. However, if there was any clarity to be found at all, any hint as to what was the right move to make or an answer to the conundrum before them, she would try as hard as she could to find it.

Hisui gets up, lays a hand on Yoko's shoulder. She tries to keep calm, if only to help in some small way. "I believe you."

And then, she turns to the others. "I will be the first to admit that there is a lot of information being thrown in every direction, and I cannot speak for everyone."

She pauses, unsure of why she is saying what she is about to say. But she does. "For those of you who don't know me, I teach Enigmas. Mysteries. Riddles. The unanswerable. When attempting to solve an enigma, there are instances when something has the appearance of complication, but is in fact very simple."

"And I know what I am about to say is not very convincing, but I feel that this is one of those situations. That what we are in now is a puzzle box with no real difficulty. The choices, regardless of the endless complexity we add to them, are clear. Concise."

She turns to Fuyuko and mouths an apology.

"I choose to let the Fortune sleep. No wishes. No requests. Merely leave Goemon to his vigil, and for us to return to where we belong."

Ryoko walked up behind then next to Priya, taking the Badger's hand into hers. The small Phoenix looked up to her girlfriend with an uncertain look, the conflict and turmoil in her eyes making it quite clear she has no idea what the correct path is.
