The only reason Orihime saw it at all was because she was so close to that part of the hollow when she ran beneath it and took out a leg. While she didn't believe this could possibly be the remnant of a person who loved his nephew, she wasn't going to write it off as impossible.

She furrowed her brow, thinking hard. The mask had to be important. Maybe it was hiding the true identity of this thing, and if they took it off, it would be exposed. If it wasn't Ben, they didn't have to hold back, and could fight with their full strength. And if it was...

"I have an idea," she whispered. "We'll both run. You go left, I go right. Whoever it goes after gets the shield. Whoever it ignores, will shoot the mask with a web and yank it off." She glanced at Peter and smiled a little. "Hopefully that's you. You're a lot stronger than I am." Then she faced forward again, her face serious. "Ready?"
