There were ghosts. We had to fight a bunch of ghost guards, with both magic and physical action.

I wasn't aware ghosts were vulnerable to being hit with a table.

[No points for guessing which among the five Central wizards was smacking ghosts with a table]

[dadsandals]

...A table.

[ ??? kiryu...holy shit?? ]

You really aren't a guy to be messed with, huh? Haha. I respect that a lot, actually.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

[The Yakuza games really let you grab all kinds of objects and smack opponents with them. What's fighting clean? Don't ask Kiryu, he's more than fine using everything to win]

When the stakes include you or your companions getting hurt, you can't pull your punches. There were several encounters with ghosts and diplomacy turned out not to be an option.

[Kiryu and his immense luck with dice when it was about fighting, you wouldn't believe]

[dadsandals]

...Yeah. Makes sense. It sounds like you protected them, either way.

[ Briefly, he thinks of Kurapika. ]

Thank you.

[ Now may the dice bless Yams too- ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

...clearly it wasn't enough.

[He can't help but feel somewhat responsible for Akira and Kurapika returning pretty banged up and also cursed by a moon rock, even though it wasn't his fault. Kiryu was one of the adults, he should have been able to do more for them. Perhaps protest the suggestion of splitting the group instead of agreeing with it]

[dadsandals]

...

[ He gets that. He gets feeling like there's more he could've done for someone, more to have curbed a bad situation, but Kiryu is also older with more life experience under his belt. Still, Yamato wouldn't feel right just saying nothing... ]

If you ask me, I think they might at least be glad they're still alive.
