And then it resumes.

Now the witch seems confused at the sudden appearance of an ensaring web in nearly all directions, and she's going too fast to be able to change course without charging straight towards—

The pointy end.

She dies as quietly as she laughed, and her seed clinks to the floor of the subway station.

"Yatta!" he shouts before glomping Haru.

"We did it!" Haru exclaims, scooping Yutaka up and spinning him around.

Eeeeeeee okay Yutaka thinks he can get behind the kind of superheroing that's actually difficult. ...which is maybe not great for his life expectancy, now that he thinks of it, it would be great if he got this excited about the easy witches they've been dealing with, but eh, whatever, this was so much fun.

"Team healer, pretty ple-ease," sings Yamanaka.

"Sure, of course, sorry -" Healing for all that needs healing.

And then she picks up the seed. "I hope this at least pays for itself."

"So TIL they can level up, I guess."

"Which I guess stands to reason, since they can go from too weak to leave a seed to strong enough to leave a seed. Maybe this seed'll be extra capacious." When Yamanaka's through with it he holds out his hand for it and brightens up and then passes it to Yutaka.

The seed does seem to still have space even after clearing Yutaka, but only just barely.

"Wow. - Yutaka, what if you got some, like, tent spikes, not every witch has terrain that suits but this one, if the glassy stuff would have held onto them, I could have tied the witch down if I got anchors into place all around it and then got string over its shoulders and connected to those."

"—good idea. I'll get some."

"Let's see, what else would have helped..."

"I think if I'd done my sonic attack we'd've totally used up the seed but it might have been wise to do it anyway."

"Might've saved on some healing and some stopped time, though. Maybe not enough."

"The little flying things were too renewable, is my thinking, I'd've gotten a bunch of them but then there would've been more."

"Yeah. Maybe there's a sweet spot when there's enough small things to pose a problem but not so many they're a total swarm where it makes sense to just have me and Haru shoot them all out immediately to give you space to act without having to think about them."

"Maybe, maybe not. The tent spike idea's not bad, though."

Yes because Yutaka's BOYFRIEND is the SMARTEST and has the BEST IDEAS.

"You two wanna hold onto what's left of this or should I?"

"No opinion." They got a couple of their own and that seed's barely got any room left.

She pockets it. "See you around."
