Okay, but why did Falin rip her shirt open? Like, why was that necessary? Just so the shirt wasn’t stuck to her wounds?

Like, ok, so, Dungeon Meshi has a lot of DnD vibes right? Which is to say a lot of European fantasy type stuff, but I also kinda think of the combat to be DnD-ish. Like their monologues that happen in the span of seconds is like a Player trying to decide what to do. So, for Falin to rip her shirt open, which seemed to take a surprising amount of effort for her to do, it’d probably take about six (6) seconds. So just imagine you’re fight a really big monster that you’re way too under leveled to fight and it uses it’s entire turn to strip.
