[Rynlan's shadow wraps around Filbo's, immobilizing it. The braided weapon softens, beginning to unravel, not really a match against Rynlan's vicious shadow. When Filbo's shadow is forced to retreat, it once again emits echoing memories.

In the background of it, Kuranosuke's voice is sounding, what he's saying too soft to distinguish properly, but it definitely is him. 'Why are you all like this?' Filbo's thought back then. 'I have done many mistakes. As usual. Why are you saying this all to me? In fact, why are you all so...why are you all so nice to be with?'

Filbo's shadow melts a little into a puddle, while Filbo pretty much throws himself onto it, looking up at Rynlan, while his shadow, apparently deciding facing Rynlan was too difficult, once again turned against Filbo, beginning to constrict him. He looks up at Rynlan, pleading]
