[It's different from what Akechi described of the Metaverse, but when Shinji mentions Shadows, Qrow understands it as the same basic concept. A space full of enemies, where it's the projection of the human unconscious—the human soul—that has power. His eyes flicker over Shinjiro, registering his attitude and expression.]
Kid, whatever this is, I can at least manage support.
[For the first time in front of Shinjiro, Qrow draws Harbinger in the form that is meant for killing monsters: a full scythe, composed of the segmented parts of the sword and marked by a vicious red edge.]
Besides that, my Aura is a projection of my soul. That's kinda like what a Persona is, right? I might be able to do some damage that way. So we fight together. Got it?
[If this were a training mission, maybe Qrow would let Shinji fight enemies solo. That idea could even be worth looking into in the future; he has done it with kids he's training before. But this isn't a training mission; this is a nightmare that Shinji didn't agree to having to see. Shinji isn't taking anything in here alone.]
