<•RECAP/INTRO•>
It's been 8 weeks since Arthur's fall. Still no sign of him waking up. Norio stays in his room the whole time since he can't go and visit Arthur without wanting to never leave. Nori would give him news on how Arthur is.
<•Now•>
It's been 5 more weeks and Norio still decided to not sleep. Akira and Ryo has been giving him sleeping pills ever once in a while so he can fall asleep.
Norio was laying down in his bed cuddled up in a blanket.
RY: Oi, Norio
Norio looked over at him.
RY: Some guests are coming over. Let's go.
NO: Huh? Guests?
He follows Ryo out of the house and onto the road. Everybody else was there waiting as well.
NO: What do you mean guests...?
RY: The people from headquarters visit sometimes if they have a message for us. Sometimes it's for a specific person but they don't usually come back.
NO: Oh... what happened to them?
RY: Nobody knows, everybody thinks their dead. But I believe it.
NO: Hmm...
AK: They are here.
A car drives through, the door opens revealing a girl.
?: Is Norio here??
NO: Me?
RY: Yes he's right here!
She looked happy.
?: Come on! Get in!
He looked at Ryo and Akira as he slowly walks to the car. He takes a seat in the back and they drive off. He looked in the front seat and saw a woman and a man.
?: Are you Norio? The winner from the last game?
NO: Y-Yeah
?: I'm Hinata. A friend of Brooke's, this is Kenta
Kenta was the one driving.
NO: Ok... but why was I called?
H: We just needed you at Headquarters for a little bit. We will bring you back here once we've finished.
Norio looked at her for a few seconds and he looks out the window.
H: So, how is it living at the village? Anything going on?
NO: It's been fine, and a little weird... for me at least
H: Whats up?
NO: Um... one of my friends... Arthur. He has shadow dust, it's turned into a scar now though.
He looked up and Hinata was looking at Kenta worried.
NO: ...I have a question
H: Hm?
NO: Is the game still going on..?
K: No, we decided to stop the game for a months.
NO: Oh, that makes sense since the host is dead...
H: Actually, Kenta is the new game host.
K: But after you've won and the whole incident during that something bad has been going on. Brooke told us you might have an answer to that since she refused to answer.
