[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Kogeki leads the group down the left path, and...

   

...Team OS walks into another dead end.

There's no apples to greet them this time, however.  Only that ominous feeling that's been hanging in the air ever since they arrived...

Oh, and all of the torches are extinguished simultaneously as soon as the group realizes that they need to turn around again, and everyone hears cackling coming from somewhere in the pitch black darkness that's now engulfing them completely.  That too.

So, I ask: how does everyone immediately react to this turn of events?  Keep in mind that nobody can see anything. Even the light of Pyra's ever present flame isn't enough to pierce this darkness.

For her part, Karen speaks up, sounding really nervous now instead of excited.  Even her shiny sparkles are impossible to see in this darkness.  "...d-do y-you th-think that w-was a...g-g-ghost?"
