Yeah, Tidus has gotten ready by darting back with a swift jump back and shell to keep him better protected this time. The dark passage of the sewers might do better with the lights, but not when they're so blinding.

But they do their job. There's a ringing in Tidus's ears that makes it hard to hear, but once he thinks it's gone, there's not a squeak nor chirp-like squeak. Silence.

Tidus rubs his ears to be sure.

"Isn't that kinda overkill?"

Too late to be asking that, now.
