>You are now within a few yards of her. There are definitely more shots coming. You can't really read her, due to danmaku chaos, but you don't think she's moving that much.

>You continue onward, sending a tighter formation of of exploding shot ahead. You aren't able to make much forward progress, the oni's bullets are dense enough here to present some real issues. However, the question also becomes moot as your attack soars ahead and explodes. She doesn't dodge, and caught in the middle of it all, you expect she must have trouble staying on her feet. It is certainly enough to disrupt her focus and bring her own attack to a decisive close.

>You send in a stream of bullets as the last of the oni's danmaku collapses, and catch her as she begins to charge in. While she doesn't quite fall, she does stagger in midair and drift down toward the rooftop, landing on it heavily.

You send a wave of exploding bullets toward her. She tries to dodge away, evading the bullets themselves easily enough but having difficulty with the explosions.
>"Alright, enough already!" she shouts.
