For a moment, the room was silence as everyone digested what Kai had spoken.
"You're right," Ryu said, breaking the silence. "We cannot afford to falter now. The Yomigaeri's warning is a call to action rather than despair. Let us focus our efforts and push ourselves even harder. We have the strength, willpower, and spirit. Let's show those third ranks that we're a force to be reckoned with, and nothing can stop us!"
"You basically just reconstructed my speech," Kai remarked.
Everyone burst into laughter, temporarily forgetting about the problem at hand.
"Ahem," Ryu cleared his throat. "That aside, we have a more pressing issue at hand."
"What's that?" The entire group chorused.
"Am I the only one who remembers we have guests?" Ryu questioned.
"Oh, what do we do about them?" Kaida asked. "It's not like we can send them outside, they don't have anywhere to return to."
