[The funny thing about bargaining chips is that their usefulness is directly related to the value of said chip and the possibility of retrieving it intact. Yato’s doppelgänger has already proven that no approach will lessen the probability of damage. He has also already caused damage.

They’re little more than a ghost; Joshua has no idea what impact semi-priming would have yet, and so far there’s been no reason for it, so he refrains.]
[With that in mind, he does know that can’t give this specter the chance to retaliate, so, although he's not one for head-on combat, he still rushes forward.]
