Kurogane was close to asking the same question when Sora beat him to it. He had been to enough places that his belief wasn't in question over her claim, but he was a little curious. Being a weapon was a lot different from having or being able to summon one. Likely more convenient too.

With the trees thinning, their cover was soon gone, however the Institute was in view by that point. As were more of those damn birds. Sora was right that running was the best option, even with the three of them now armed. Just so long as they got inside without there being something else in the way a straight dash should do it.

He looked between the two, noting that he'd been the only one to take any injuries to his legs. Running from here was sure to hurt like hell, but he could handle it for that long. Sora would be fine, and unless Tsubaki was trying to hide something, she should manage it as well. Nodding, he added, "Don't stop until you're in."
