The Antagonist VIII
No matter how important rooftops are in subculture—be they for love letters or dramatic confrontations—this wasn’t the best place to have a relaxing conversation with the Saintess.

“Let’s go somewhere else to talk.”
“Yes, let’s.”
“But is there no way to unfreeze the others from Time Stop?”
The Saintess shook her head. “That would be difficult. I need to be physically holding their hand to move them through the frozen world.”
Now that she mentioned it, she was still holding my hand tightly. But then, I wondered—couldn’t we just use the ‘walking hand-in-hand’ method to bring at least one more person along?
