Something gives you pause. You have no idea what's going on in this fight.
You know the angel has Samarecarm, so that's why everyone's targeting it. Because of that, you have no idea what it is the sphinx is doing, because that would require someone to be looking at it.
You'd probably know more about what it could do if you knew what ailment you were hit with. You just don't know that, either.
There's always going to be some amount of uncertainty in the face of battling Shadows. But you aren't sure why no one else is concerned about just... continuing to charge in like nothing's happening. You aren't sure you should be doing that.
This merits a much more cautious approach. And maybe someone actually taking healing duty. That's probably important.
So you hold back, turning your Evoker over in your hand as the melee combatants decide to take advantage of not being likely to be stabbed with a stair rail. You don't want to say they're making a mistake.
But they might be making a mistake.
You can't tell who lands the first hit. You aren't close enough, aren't looking closely enough, to be able to make that distinction. But you do know that when Arcana Justice recoils from an attack, so does the person who attacked it, and that's an issue when there's multiple people making attacks at close range. They all just end up tripping over each other and falling into a large pile. Easy targets for Myriad Arrows.
You sigh and cast Mediarama. At least Yukari-san was shooting from far enough away not to take damage from that attack, even if she's been recoiling the same as everyone else. It means, though she's wincing with every arrow, someone can distract the Shadow from your friends slowly untangling themselves.
It's... not going well. Someone should probably help them with that, except you don't think there's anyone able to do so.
You get blown off your feet because you weren't paying enough attention to the sphinx to brace for the winds. It doesn't do anything after, so it's probably fine. Your arms just sting a little. You can handle that with a simple Media, so you do.
You then make sure the others have successfully extracted themselves from the Pile of Mistakes. Which. They have. Your most recent Media has even resolved any minor damage that might have accidentally been caused in the process. It's probably going to be fine. Mostly.
Aigis-san... doesn't really look all that great. You think she might have been in Orgia Mode for that mess? You're not sure what went on there, but one of her arms doesn't seem to be working. You could probably fix that with magic. Maybe. If you're lucky.
...You don't trust yourself to fix that with magic. Not that you can bring a professional, if there are any left, out here in the middle of the Dark Hour.
[ ] You should... probably try and convince her to get away from the main area of the fight. Just until you're sure there's no risk of her arm falling off, or anything.
[ ] Just keep doing what you've been doing until the ailment wears off. Then you can worry about everything else.
[ ] You still have no idea what the sphinx is doing and you should probably keep an eye on it.
