In over your head (RYUU)

Rapture confirmed Simon's suspicions that she did in fact not have a phone. But apparently she had something even better. Simon found himself wandering what this 'something better' could be as Rapture walked off, telling him to stay put. A walkie talkie? No, that can't be it. Though the mental image of Rapture using a walkie talkie was certainly a funny one.

Rapture came back a minute later with a black device with a red butterfly on the top. Simon opened it up to take a better look at it and saw that it looked like a mirror. Rapture explained that he had to open it up and say her name to get it to work, and that she'll get back to him if its urgent. Or how much she gives a shit. So only for emergencies then, got it "Thanks a bunch, Ryuu. Better get going now, huh?"

Simon gave her a wave and began to walk out the way he came. If she had any last words for him he would stay to listen. If not he would leave, wondering in his head how he travelled to and from Japan so easily.

Rapture simply nodded in response, following the young man until they reached the first floor. After that, she went about planning what to do about the mess that the yokai had left. Thankfully, there were no stray spiders or other traces of the beasts, a peculiar but not unwelcome notion. She thought for just a brief moment to ask Verdant Gale to stay behind and help clean, but this was her problem now, not his. He had fought gallantly and would surely leave a more experienced fighter, if nothing else. Hopefully, he would not suffer too much psychological damage from the ordeal; it would be understandable if so, but his resolve bade well for the petite powerhouse’s subconscious.

The question as to why the temple had allowed such a bizarre chain of events would remain unanswered, which was fine on Rapture’s part; she had found that trying to dissect the sanctuary’s ghostly sentient nature to be a fruitless task. What mattered now was the future. Hopefully, it would be one filled with cooperation should the two unlikely teens meet again.
