NO: Shadow dust...?
He gasps and then grabs Arthur's arm.
NO: Why do you have shadow dust on you??
A: Huh? What do you mean?
NO: ARTHUR! THIS CAN KILL YOU!!
A: But I've...always had this....
NO: ....Huh..?
A: Did you just now notice it?
NO: But just a few moments ago... you said-
A: Why is this so shocking to you?
NO: Arthur...you just told me you weren't your regular self... you said some will live more than others!!
A: I did?
Norio just stands there frozen and not knowing what to say.
A: I'm gonna continue hunting... you should probably head back to the town and get a drink or something.
He says walking past Norio giving him a weird glance.
Norio stares at the ground still trying to comprehend what just happened.
<•At the Town•>
Norio slowly walks down the streets. He saw Ryo and Akira by the trucks.
RY: Oi, what's taking you so long? We were supposed to hunt 10 minutes ago.
NO: Sorry...
Akira walked up to Norio and looked at his face more closely.
AK: You're sweating a lot.
NO: That's because I wanted to ask you guys, what happened to Arthur..?
RY&AK: Huh?
NO: Like suddenly... he has shadow dust... and then he tells me that he's something different... and then he claims that he's been the same ever since... and now he thinks I'm going crazy!!
Ryo and Akira glanced at each other and then at him again.
RY: Huh?
Norio sighs and clenched his fists.
NO: ARTHUR ISN'T ACTING LIKE HIMSELF!!
RY: Are you sure you're ok?
Norio just freezes up and has a sad look on his face.
NO: Why am I the only one that notices this..?
AK: Norio, you've been acting a little strange ever since you woke up
