Murr: …
Akira: …Huh, maybe I’m just seeing things. I still feel like I’m being watched though…
I could try waving where I think I saw him… Oh, Murr, why-...
Murr: Master Sage, don’t move!
Akira: Wha-but why?
Murr: Because I say so! You must absolutely stay still, I’m coming over!
Akira: …Um, I think you’re a little too close now…?
Murr: Sh! Quiet.
Akira: (What’s going on? He sounds so different from the usual...)
(His eyes have that glint... like he’s about to launch himself at me...)
Murr…?
Murr: Don’t worry, it’ll be over in a second.
Akira: What...?
Murr: Now!
Akira: (No way, he actually jumped at me...!?)
UWAH!
…Huh?
Murr: Yay, gotcha! Here, here, Master Sage! Look!
Akira: Is that… Is that a butterfly?
Murr: Yup! I’ve been looking for it left and right ever since I saw it flying around in the courtyard earlier!
And then, it decided to land on your head, Master Sage!
Akira: I see... So that’s why you felt like a hunter just now...?
Murr: Yes! If I didn’t act fast enough, it could have succumbed at any moment! See, the colours this butterfly bears seem to indicate that it’s reaching the end of its life! Dazzling, yet so cruel!
Oh, right! I should show it to Shylock before it loses its sparkle.
Buh-bye, Master Sage!
Akira: …I felt like I was the prey there...
