You look over at Satori as she squeezes your hand. "Lead the way." You say, gesturing at the door. Satori nods, a spring in her step as you and her head outside. The machine-guns set up in the corridor give you pause again, a dark reminder of the truth of this place. Satori seems not to even notice them though. She leads you through the locked door, shutting it behind, and then up, into the fresh morning air outside. The concrete of the multi-story car park hangs heavy above your head, but the chill of the night still lingers on this side of their barricade.
Satori let's go of your hand. "Would you mind?" She gestures at the sheet of tin blocking the entrance way.
"Oh, sure." You say, hefting it to the side as she steps through the gap. You follow her and then lower the makeshift doorway back into place, dusting your hands off on your trousers.

In the light of day it looks exactly like a rubbish heap, nothing to suggest what is hidden below.
"Youki and Tewi made it." Satori pipes up from behind you. "Tewi is good at hiding."
"Mm." You grunt, looking around. The tarmac and concrete of the car park stretches off, brightening sunlight just outside, visible in the doorways and through the gaps in the walls. You frown, sudden realisation dawning on you. "Where's the body of the combat drone?" You ask.
"Oh!" Satori glances around as well. There's a large dark stain on the ground, but no body. "Youki used to say they they harvest their dead. He ... didn't like that." Satori frowns a little, lost in thought. You gulp, after a night's sleep and the warmth of a girl in your bed, the thought of facing that thing last night sends a renewed shiver up your spine. Don't think about it now, just enjoy your time with Satori.
"Shall we go?" You ask, offering Satori your hand. She looks up and smiles.
"Of course." Her fingers intertwine with yours and you both head off into the sunlight.

After leaving the shadow of the multi-story, you let yourself shut down for a few moments, thinking of nothing but the rising sunlight on your face and the feeling of Satori's soft hand in yours. There's barely anyone in the streets this time of morning, apart from a garbage van and a few early-risers. You can't help but wonder now, how many of them are real, how many just Yukari's fakes, empty spaces where there should be people.
"Hmm." Satori makes a noise, squeezing your hand. "Try not to think about it too much."
You just nod, still feeling disquieted. Satori leads you along a different route to last night, not through the street where you fought Youmu. She can probably sense that you'd rather not go there. As you walk, you pass within a few blocks of the school gates, but keep going, west towards the more affluent part of town. Does Satori live near there? You can't help but wonder what kind of place she lives in. As you glance over at her, your head starts buzzing with questions again.
This is so exciting, but so nerve-wracking at the same time. An overwhelming urge to know more about her, but coupled with an absurd, nameless worry.

Satori glances at you, a little smile on her face. "It's okay." She says.
"It is?" You ask. She nods. You take a deep breath, frowning with thought, but Satori is still one step ahead of you.
"I have two pets. Orin and Okuu." She says, sighing contentedly and swinging your hand back and fourth as she walks. "You met Orin." She stifles a grin. "Okuu is easier to deal with. She's a raven."
"A raven?" You ask. "An actual raven or a raven that also turns into a person?"
Satori glances sidelong a you, amused. "The latter." She says.

So many questions. You have time, there's nobody around and Satori's walking pace is slower than yours.

[ ] Ask more about her pets.

-[ ] About how she got them.
