“Who knows~?” The upbeat reply might seem like a cop out, but as his features soften into something more neutral, the reason becomes clear. “The rules here are probably different than the ones I am used to. Our guide hinted at as much. A Before and whatever this is… but back at the school, so long as enough of the student body believed, then a rumor could outright change the very nature and form of an apparition.”
No need to fear this being used against him, not here. And, if this skeleton is going to be his right-hand, then it’s better to warn him of any potential danger, right?
