Mizu doesn't know she's facing some kind of do-gooder who'd sign up to rescue Rin for no more reason than she needs rescuing. Mizu assumes she needs rescuing. Vergil's found his way back, but many people remain missing, remain out there somewhere facing... Mizu isn't sure exactly. She doesn't have all the details, but the fox spirit's very insistence they stay here where it's 'safe' says something. It's one of those cases where a trickster spirit doesn't need to lie. Setting up a safe place for people only makes them worry more about others less safe than themselves. Is Mizu taking the bait? Perhaps, but on this occasion, she doesn't care.

"Pretty sure that's mostly if you go over it," Mizu says tiredly. It has been a day, mostly in a good sense, but a day nonetheless. "When you go through, like me, you run into various problems that halt your progress. Pretty damn sure this thing is doing it's all to stop us."

She looks over her shoulder at the far shore. "Something," Mizu says, not cozy enough with the idea of identifying Rin as a friend to a stranger, "She's been out there a week already."
