[ As if to wholly cement how futile calling Akechi's name will be, the other Persona-user lunges at Minato with the jagged blade. It finds its mark, leaving a diagonal gash down his chest. It's difficult to dodge and sidestep with the hands grabbing at him, coaxing him into sinking deeper in their embrace. The intense stinging is enough to reorient him back to reality, and he forces himself to focus on what's before his eyes.

He can feel himself running low on SP. Minato's hand trembles as he lifts his Evoker to his temple and pulls the trigger. There's a flash of light as Unicorn materializes, bathing Akechi in a white light as well. It casts a spell, cleansing the rage addling Akechi's mind. While it won't do anything about the hallucinations, it's Minato's hope that this at least stops him from trying to stab him.

The Persona sends a blast of light at the hands rising to grasp at Minato's jaw before it quickly fades away. Briefly, Minato considers summoning Horus again in an attempt to heal everyone in the vicinity. It doesn't seem particularly efficient, not when the hands would quickly tear their wounds open again.

There's no time to actually check whether Akechi's calmed down. Minato grasps Akechi's arm without a word and tugs him further away from the shoreline. It's an arduous task, between struggling to stay conscious and trying to kick away any hands that draw too near to them.

Koromaru keeps doggy-paddling too, towing Rolo towards the sand. He'll swim to shore not too far from Akechi and Minato before shaking himself dry. Gogol isn't too far away either, and Koromaru turns to face the jester. He growls at the man, hackles raised, just in case Gogol decides to try anything funny. ]
