Ren huffed, dusting off the little tattered areas and dirt from his coat after the battle, the strong shadow dissipating back into the ground as they always did once defeated. It was supposed to be a quick training tripβjust the two of you working on your Personas and taking on some Shadows to stay sharp. Ren, ever the composed leader, had assured you it would be fine to keep pushing the number of floors you both would descend to.
"That one was kind of tough. Always annoying when they don't have weaknesses and are immune to ailments, not fair." He buzzed his lips, slipping his dagger back into his jacket and glancing around again. "Doesn't matter, since we won and all. As usual." He gave you a short smile before continuing to walk further, barely stepping a yard away from you before freezing, as you felt a chill down your spine. That familiar feeling.
"'Can't be, we haven't been here that long.." Ren vocalized your thoughts, looking around and then back at you. "Hey, you feel that too, righ-"
He was cut off by the echoing sound of distant chains being dragged against the ground, the familiar sound making your stomach drop. The Reaper was here.
