[His head snaps over to Eikichi sharply, and that materializes outward and attacks. His voice is equally so.]
Hey. Don't just—
[That was... unexpected.
He had been about to say something before, but it's cut short when Eikichi doesn't even bother to goddamn wait. Evaluate what was going on instead of being idiotic and so damn rash Aki would probably be unconsciously offended. He doesn't know what the hell had pissed Mishina off that much to make him not bother to hold back for a sec and breathe, but if that was how it was gonna turn out, then fine. But he wasn't just going to rush into it himself.
Not that Shinjiro had any experience in fighting these kind of Shadows—or whatever they were—but attacking her outright without preamble hadn't been... at all what he had in mind. Not when this Shadow was just some kind of part of her. Same voice and face, even if it was her and... not her all at the same time. That made the idea of attacking the Shadow physically, and not through her Shadow's Persona, if it came down to that, even less appetizing to him. But he'd do what he needed to do. Maybe this was the only option and was how things were supposed to go, though part of him had a difficult time believing everything would be directly analogous to the worlds they came from. Not that everything could be solved by talking either, but—]
Tch.
[He grits his teeth. He bottles back the urge to cut Hades off—if she's a Shadow and Minako at the same time, she has to be made of stronger steel than that—and doesn't attack or interfere himself, not yet, though he pushes Castor into stirring, and charging.]
