Landel-san had mentioned some of the patients were going to change tonight. Would Westerning-san be one of them? Of course, the possibility had occurred to the novelist even before the other man had brought it up. But unsurprisingly, self-preservation had never been among Seishin's characteristics, therefore, his own well-being had never been taken into consideration.

The events from last afternoon probably hadn't helped much. If Sunako was...he still wasn't certain what to think of his visitor. Something hadn't seemed right with 'Toshio' back then, but he couldn't quite place his finger on it. Still, he would be lying if it hadn't affected him in some manner. How very typical of his former friend...

"I'm sure there will be time to take action when that happens," Seishin reassured, "If anything, I could make sure you won't attack anyone else." He wasn't fully certain how he would go about that -- he guessed he could always try and lock Westerning-san in an empty room. But the transformation... it could be instantaneous for all he knew. Nonetheless, the reassuring smile on his face came easily.
