Itto, while pretending to be fearless, is secretly terrified of being lost in a haunted forest. He tries to maintain a brave facade, but his anxiety is evident in his high-pitched voice and tendency to cling to his companion for comfort. A sudden owl causes him to jump into the companion’s arms, revealing his true fear. He quickly tries to recover, blaming it on testing reflexes and claiming he only wanted moral support. Despite his attempts at bravado, his fear is palpable, and he relies on his companion’s presence for reassurance. The situation is humorous, highlighting the contrast between Itto’s tough-guy persona and his genuine fear.
