[ At the confirmation, Nekogami adds his ice and needles into the mix, alternating between the two attacks and trying to pincer the Shadow in between his and Tiamat's. But as close as both of them get to the Shadow, none of them seem to hit— the little thing dances around dodging every single blast, cackling to itself if they were close enough to hear. ]

[ Kido calls Nekogami back to create another ice slide; this time, she'll be able to get her footing and use it as a proper slide all the way to the ground, instead of tumbling on it from the sky. There's little room for the Shadow to run, anyways, so all they have to do is close in on it and drive it into a corner, and between the two of them, Kido's confident they can do that. ]
