[ It's a good thing that Monika understands this sort of thing a lot more easily than Minako does. It's not like Minako is dumb, or not as dumb as she sometimes seems, anyway, but she's definitely not book-smart. She can do tactical analysing in this moment, that is something she is good at, but it's hard when she has so little information about this new enemy.
And while Monika's statements aren't revealing a whole lot of information about that thing, they're making one thing very, very clear.
That thing is dangerous. And not just a little bit. It makes Minako bite her lip as she stares at it, thinking. She should retreat, if not just because Monika would come with her and it'd allow her to keep the other safe. But on the other hand.. dropping her position in the frontline right now might just mean that these things manage to break through into the city.
Into the city, where so many innocent people are. People who can't fight.
She can't let that happen. No matter what, she has to hold the line. Somehow. ]
It's okay, stay back..!
[ She won't tell Monika to run away while Minako herself stays here. She's not that cruel. She knows it'd be way too hard for the other.
So instead she just hopes the other girl will stay behind her, supporting her from the back. Even if this isn't something they can actually defeat, hopefully they can at least hold it off. Minako's hands tighten around her sword, her knuckles turning white. ]
I promise I won't do anything reckless! I'll just hold it off..!
