As the three were about to approach Vera, Norio got up.
"It seems you're not feeling too hot; we'll get going now, big brother."
"A-are you sure...?" Rick asked weakly.
Norio gave a nod, then stretched.
"Damnit, Bandages!" Mim huffed.

"I suppose we have no other choice other than to follow," Larkin said, letting out a sigh.

"Why'd we have to leave?" Emersyn whined.
"I wanted to play with Maru more..."
Norio ignored her, looking at Vera through the rear-view mirror.
