( He doesn't know. He honestly doesn't know because in his head, none of the scenarios he can think of make sense. Stab. At this range, he would move to stab his opponent but that doesn't make sense with a standard length sword designed for slashing. Still, his muscle memory pushes him to try-- pushing against Souji's sword, trying to find room to pull back for the necessary thrust but stuck in the exact same position.
Urashima's eyes wander up to Souji's trying to find some sort of answer and only meeting eyes cold like steel and dark with purpose. It catches him off guard and his mind goes blank.
He begins to pull back his sword, the edge sliding against Souji's, and his hands move. He might not remember but his body knows that this isn't the right sword at all. And his hands move with one moving up, away from the grip and towards the blade to shorten the length. If this was a real sword, he'd slice his fingers through. The palm of his other hand goes down, to the base of the handle in a pushing motion. And though it's still definitely awkward and certainly careless and unconventional, it's just barely manageable-- an attempt at a stab right for Souji's center. He's also completely thrown off his own balance, leaving himself open for disarmament with just a one-handed grip on a two-handed sword. )
