Crap, that's not as long as I had hoped.

> Is the trap currently open or shut?
> How physically strong is Futo? If the trap were shut, could she pry it open again like we did?

>You move rightward, as the behemoth begins to descend toward you. As you tack rightward, so does it.
>You loop the trap around your arm. It is a little heavy and kind of unwieldy there, which may interfere with some precise movements.
