[Follow, Sunny did. Mostly because he was terrified of being left behind, of those formless wraiths staring at him until he lost his mind.
The teen kept up well, despite his own labored breathing - though that was probably influenced by the panic coursing through his veins as much as it was his own lack of physical ability.
The wraiths indeed kept their distance. Sunny noted, even as the group began to let them part, that some of the wraiths stayed behind. Almost a pincher… except they didn’t get closer. That same distance…
Did they not want to touch them? Did the light of the torch keep them away?
It… didn’t matter so long as they made it through, but Sunny felt like they should at least learn something. He couldn’t force himself to look at the wraiths around them directly… but staring at their ‘feet’? Perfectly fine. He could almost convince himself they were cheap holiday decorations… if not for the aching groans they let out occasionally.
Makoto is like Sunny’s… knight in shining… school uniform? XD
