Izanagi, following behind them, moves out of the way just enough for him to see that they're not being followed. Yu slows up to a walk, and signals for her to follow him to the cover of a copse of trees. After a moment's thought, he banishes Izanagi, too. His Persona makes a good guard, but also is a huge beacon to their location - better to be able to hide while she recovers. ]
