Ren was the first to try. Used to moving through the small secret tunnels he'd made, it wasn't difficult for him to slip through.
Min followed, though he had to contort a bit to pass. His snake remained manifested, being long but not thick managed to slide through the crack with relative ease, its scales gleaming in the strange light.
Taro stayed looking at the opening with apprehension.
"I'm not going to fit," he declared after studying it. "I'm more... robust."
He tried to wedge a shoulder in, but his broad back made passage impossible. After several frustrated attempts, Ren began to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Taro growled, still stuck halfway.
"I don't sense anything dangerous here... Deactivate the shell," Ren suggested between laughs. "Your beetle is in your body so it can pass, but you don't need to keep all its characteristics manifested."
