Singing English songs from the pre-2000s is an oddly specific choice, he thought as another batch of people disappeared. But the fact she hasn't exorcised these bastards means she's at a limit.

He was correct in this assumption. Ma Yuri was betting her consciousness on the 'imaginary' output buff that "Smile" provided in unison with a new binding vow to double her 'imaginary' cursed energy output when she sang the lyrics to a song in order to mimic exactly 25% output. She had modified "Smile" as a safe alternative for her friend to utilise Cursed Speech without receiving life-sustaining damage due to the recoil. There were 2 notable downsides to this: she can't do anything except Neverland; and she left Inumaki by himself to crowd control completely. (Keep this in mind.)

'Kinmokusei, you bastard!' Jogo cursed as they continued to hide within the gradually thinning hostage crowd underneath; blowing off some steam on an innocent Iron Man cosplayer. 'This plan's dead because of you! Hanami's death can't be honoured like this!' The people continued to waft around and evade the white haired adult. But there's still that card to play.

"Should you get put in a tight spot, you can always change things up."

And then the brunette stopped singing. Heaving due to her horrendous vocal technique to sustain a high note, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "JO-SAN! THEY HAVE CURSED ENERGY ENHANCERS! IT'S CALLED HIMAWARI!"

As if on cue, the unregistered volcanic head ingested a jar of red fluid whole. Immediately, the amount of cursed energy emitted had increased more than double.

'Enhancers? The aura was similar to hers as well,' easily deducing that it was her blood. No wonder cursed spirits are attracted to her: Dorothy-like indeed. Just as she attempted to redo the same song again to remove the normal civilians, an ear piercing puncture tore through her pinafore.

It's 9:16pm on October 31st.

Hysterical relief pervaded through crowd as the train from Meiji-jingumae had arrived. The clear method of escape! They cried, rushing and pushing each other to be first away from the strange blindfolded man that was 'Gojo Satoru'; a complete lunatic in their eyes.

"It's here!"

And a woman got shot at the stairs connected to B4F. The blue pinafore becoming more ragged and dirtied than intended. Who wouldn't want to escape? It was terrorism. Who wouldn't want to survive? On closer inspection, the train was overfilled with mangled, twisted, and contorted beyond recognition humans. Transfigured humans. To the brim. Gushing out of the automated doors within a blink.

Instinctively, the teenager erupted the lyrics in the hit song released 2 years ago, Navillera, a bright song by her favourite k-pop group. In cold-blooded reply, a cascade of shots littered her without warning. But she only continued, adding the choreography in the mix too.

Hysteria continued.

"Let's assume our worst scenario occurs," drawing two playing cards from the deck he had, the Queen of Hearts and King of Spades onto the table; "if Ma Yuri shows up, she will render our main method of using Prison Realm useless instantly." The cursed spirits weren't well-versed in her cursed technique and skills compared to the strongest, a member of one of the 3 major clans. Prompting the pale snowhead to explain;

"She can teleport herself and other people in the presence of glass," swiping away the card from the other. The group became wide-eyed by this fact. "That's not possible even for our standards!" Smoke forming on Jogo's head. "Using hostages to challenge him won't do good anymore," due to their knowledge of glass being readily available within the station. It was unavoidable as a material.
