No Hesitation

'Is that so?' Ryu's gaze flickered. He looked as though he had already figured something out, but he didn't move immediately.

Those on his pillar were all subconsciously watching his actions. Even after what had happened, his actions previously hadn't been forgotten by them. If anything, they were even more focused. They realized now that the only way to survive wasn't just by listening to Ryu's words, but they also had to follow his actions. That was the only way to guarantee that they wouldn't be harmed.

But this made things difficult for Ryu, because his speed wouldn't be faster than theirs, and Little Silk's speed wouldn't be faster than Empana's, that much was impossible.

Ryu's gaze narrowed. There was nothing that could be gained in this world, worth gaining, that wouldn't cost him something in return. His aura changed and his Birthed Phenomena appeared to his back.
