“What Sets You Apart”

[Wizards’ Manor—Hallways]

Akira: Murr! MUUURR! Where on Earth did you go!?

(I can't believe he turned me into Oz and made a run for it! I need him to show his face now...!)

Heathcliff: Good afternoon, Lord Oz.

Akira: !!

(Oh no, not Heath! Gosh, am I in a pretty pickle now… How should I break it to him…)

Heathcliff: …Or not? Who might you be…

Hm… Please don’t take offence for what I’m about to say, but… Master Sage, is that you?

Akira: Y-Yes! It’s me, Heath! It’s Akira!

One minute, Murr was playing around with shapeshifting on me, and then he was gone in the blink of an eye… I really need to find him, but he’s not making things easy…

Heathcliff: That’s quite the predicament you’re in… Would you like another pair of eyes to help you in your search?

Akira: Please, you’d be a huge help. You know, I'm surprised by how easily you noticed that I was in Oz’s skin.

I mean, I hadn’t even replied to you, yet somehow…

Heathcliff: I need not hear your voice. The weight of your stride, your posture and the way your eyes met mine were enough clues to know I wasn’t speaking to Lord Oz.

Although I must admit there is something in your demeanour that sets you apart…

Akira: Which is...?
