[ Well, it was worth a try at least. Shinpachi won't blame her one bit for not knowing - this isn't the sort of stuff girls like Mary should normally be involved in, anyway. She's way too soft and precious to constantly be dealing with ViViD's extremely weird sorts of danger.
So he takes a deep breath, trying to force his surprise down for now. Just take things as they come.. as long as he can protect Mary while they're here and find some sort of way out, it'll turn out fine. There's nothing breathing down their neck to kill them (yet), anyway, so they can take a breather.
Which means Shinpachi ends up putting Mary down again, making sure she's standing on both of her own feet before he fully lets go and instead lightly pats her on the head. ]
It's alright. I know this stuff sucks, but let's do something fun after this to make up for it, 'kay?
[ Not that Shinpachi knows if the place outside of ViViD would even still look the same as it did before he left, but he'd still try to find some way to keep his word all the same. It's Shinpachi, after all. ]
