Ash's own resistance seems to wake Steven up from his own terrified flinching, remembering that there is something he can do about this - something that he'd brought to be prepared from the start. It's hard to push back against such an intimidating front, but Steven will push forward through the group, raising his shield defensively, and lifting up his crystal necklace.

The pink glow of the crystal will join the light of her song, sending out positive spiritual vibes that he knew had pushed back vampires in the past. If enough of them can hang on, then they can still get through this, right?
