The truth was that if things were as simple as just battling a Lower Skeleton Warrior, Ryu wouldn't have an issue with it. It was just that something about this world was needling at his mind. There was something deeper here, something far more sinister, that he wasn't able to grasp quite yet.
Though Ryu loved idea of throwing himself into danger, that didn't mean that he would do so recklessly. No, it was more accurate to say that this was already the danger.
At this very moment, there was already a guillotine primed and ready to drop. It hovered above his head, waiting for him to produce his neck for it.
Whatever this place was, whatever it had been designed for, whatever goal it had in mind… It didn't have the best interests of any of these youths at the forefront.
