[In hindsight, if letting Nui take the "bullet" at the front door was the beginning of the end, letting Osaka go down the stairs first would be the follow-up. There was no telling what was in the house, after Minako set up here, she knew that.
So, why did she let her go first?
It's dark, and Maya could see just as much as Osaka did as they peered down the dark steps. She noticed the bright gleam in the depths, just catching the light from where they were. They both seemed to think the same thing, as Osaka acted first, while Maya look for anything else that might be a trap. There were no tripwires at their feet...
But she noticed too late, the sheen of some odd substance on the steps. Osaka was already slipping over herself and falling. Maya thought fast and tried to grab for her.]
Osaka!
[Only... Maya missed. Her hand found nothing but air and she slipped on the first step. She would have slid down all the way, if not for her grip on the door. She hung there, panicking and trying to find her foot.
And then she heard a sound. A very, unpleasantly squishy sound.]
