Before moving onwards, Okami suggested we would stay at the door for a few seconds. He told us to wait for Ryoshi to wake up, since that guy was still an asset to our team. Although we cannot use that shield arrows for a few minutes, Ryoshi could still shoot elemental arrows from his quiver.
We cannot wake Ryoshi up from his sleep, since the world did not allow it. According to Ryoshi, if the player fainted or slept, the player itself would remain blank, as if sleeping in the real world. The game would affect both the players and characters in Code, which would make them "realistic".
But I did not get any of that information, since I was an NPC.
Match, Okami, and I all asked each other about our conditions. Okami stressed out that we needed to rest before attacking Alice. He was even willing to wait for the barrier arrows to cooldown before attacking that princess girl.
