I had no idea trees
this big existed...

Yeah, but it doesn't exactly look healthy
for them to be this overgrown.

It's just like you said, Karol.

It's like what happened
at Heliord when the
blastia went berserk.

Be careful... There's somebody here.

Hey, what a coincidence!

What the hell are you doing
in a place like this?

Ya know, out for a forest stroll,
takin' in the nature...

Something smells fishy...

What? Where's my welcome?

You didn't think we'd honestly
be glad to see you, right?

Aw, ya don't mean that. I
can come in handy ya know.

...You're not thinking of
coming with us, right?

Of course! It's lonely bein' out here
all by my lonesome. What, no dice?

You'd better watch your back. If you
try anything funny, you're dead.

Hey, ya don't really think my
story stinks that bad, do ya?

Yeah, the stench is sort of
coming off of you in waves.

Really...? *sniff*

I can't take responsibility for what
I'll do if you make any sudden
moves. Don't forget that.
