[It's dark, so it's quite difficult to see. If Mizuki stares long enough, he'll see small, green-glowing lights. Two are shaped like balls. Two are shaped like curved lines, fatter at the centre than at the ends. The last is shaped like a V.]

[ Hmm. He’s gonna ever so casually climb out the window. Like a normal person does. ]

Is someone stuck out there? You can come this way, if you’re lost.

[ Danger sense: 0. There’s clearly nothing wrong here— ]

[sticksandbonesmods]

[The green lights flicker for a moment. There's the distant sound of breathing from beyond the veil, if Mizuki's hearing is sharp enough to make it out in the first place.]

[mooninthewater]

… Do you need help?

[sticksandbonesmods]

[The talking is rough due to the fog interfering with communication, but Mizuki will be able to make out words:]

Help. Yes. Mizuki...

[mooninthewater]

[ He starts to take a step forward, but there's something that stops him. There's a voice in his head pulling him back, and though it's in his own tone, he knows it's not his own.

How do they know your name? Something isn't right. ]

… [ But he doesn't want to not help people…??? ] How?

[sticksandbonesmods]

[The orblike lights disappear, and then reappear after a few short seconds.]

My duty... protect all of you. I need to... in the Grove.

[They've tried to explain themself. As for the how:]

...New Moon... call to... Purif... ...First Sentinel ...Grove's Guardian.

[ Mizuki gives a little nod, digging around in his bag to pull out a small pad of paper to write that down before looking back up. Duty… protect… new moon, purify, 1st sentinel, grove's guardian.

…

None of that makes sense to him, but— ]

Okay, Protector, I'll let the others know. They're real smart, so we'll all figure out how to help you, okay? Ah—

[ From his bag, he pulls out one of his saltwater taffies and places it just on the edge of the fog. ]

Please stay safe until then, Protector!!

[The green lights move down to perceive whatever it is Mizuki left. Hm.

It will still be there if he comes back during the daylight. The blinking lights, however, will not be.]
