[I apologize for the delay! I had internet troubles the past two days, but it's all good now.]
Byrne saw the brief change in Renamon's expression, but it didn't stop him from being any more concerned about her. It was in his nature to care about others, after all, whether they wanted the care or not. However, he did respect the fact that she seemed unwilling to focus the conversation on her. His expression made it clear that he was still worried, but he did not press the topic any further.
(He was not aware, meanwhile, that all of this caused him to forget about his headache to the point where he didn't even feel it right now. All for the better, really.)
Their second topic gave Byrne more to worry about, especially when Renamon mentioned the Doyleton residents. Could the institute's hellish magic at night (or whatever it was supposed to be) affect outer areas as well? It sounded crazy, but...there was no longer any reason to doubt Renamon's words. "The townspeople turn into zombies at night?" he asked, eyes widening a little, "I thought the craziness at night was specific to the institute. So it's not just here, then? It's everywhere?"
