>>5718672>>5718680Running up the cliff is a lot more difficult than for someone of his normally athletic nature. While he does make it up the cliff, he's covered in the ash. Peering past the cliffs, you can see down to the lake. Or, looking straight down, a dark abyss tinted with an unnatural glowing aura. There are no easy paths past this point. However, dropping a layer down, there are portions where the cliff faces are much closer together. You still need to jump between them.
Being near the cliffs is causing painful feedback. Spiritomb can feel the various spirits writhing as something is attempting to undo the fabric of their unity. If Kaku observes Spiritomb, he can see afterimages being produced by the ghost.
