[Ango had considered the possibility that Tsukasa might actually be Amane's twin, newly awakened as a Dreamer to protect his brother while he sought an escape from his illness... but an injury like that would have kicked any normal Dreamer straight out of the Dream Sphere. And then there's that black blood, oozing thick and sticky like melted tar...
Does Amane know that his "brother" is a Night Terror? At this point, does he care?
And what the hell is Ai doing, leaving herself completely defenseless!? Save the emotional moment for after the brat puts down the knife! Ango's gotta get to her, but he's gotta do something to protect these kids, too...]
Ai, no!!
[Ango activates his shapeshifting skill, transforming himself into an exact copy of Hanako - but instead of Hanako's kitchen knife, he's still holding his nail bat, and instead of floating, his feet are firmly rooted on the ground in a fighting stance. Sure, it's been 25 years, but Ango was the prefectural judo champion back in middle school. Ignoring Cooro's hatchet and Junna's vines, Ango takes a running start and launches his body towards Tsukasa, aiming to hit him with a solid shoulder check...
...and passes right through him, activating Hanako's intangibility skill at the last moment. But Ango's hand (and the nail bat) aren't covered by the partial intangibility, so as he slips through Tsukasa his fist and the handle of the bat slam into Brat #2's gut. Ango doesn't have enough fine control over his borrowed power to immediately ghost his hand, though, so for a moment he's stuck, half-phased through Tsukasa's back... which, even intangible, is probably not a good place to be.]
