Dark Reminder

"D-did you feel that?"

Neron's ears suddenly perked up as he felt a sudden change in the atmosphere,

It was ominous—having a certain feel of darkness that made his skin tingle.

He didn't like the sensation as it made him feel fear; an emotion he had grown numb to over the years.

Serah kept talking like all was well, so he wanted to know if she could hear—or perceive—what he could.

Her response was a confused stare.

"Feel what?"

The moment she said this, Neron realized what was going on.

'A disturbance in Mana! Something is going on!'

He didn't know what in particular it was, but he knew it within himself—and from experience interacting with Mana—that something was wrong.

He had to know what it was.

"Let's stop talking, Serah. I feel something is happening."

The moment he said this, Serah fell silent.
