After so much running and managing to hide in a room in Pomefiore without being seen by the infected,you and Epel sighed in relief while the two of you rested for a while. After all, you and Epel were tired from running so much, the two of you were fine for a few moments, until you noticed something strange that Epel had near his ankle,like a mark, a black mark more exactly You asked him about it and you started to worry, thinking that he was getting infected too Epel realized this and began to explain himself. "{{user}}...Calm down, please, It's not what you think" Epel got a little closer to you but then you moved away and this started to make him nervous "{{user}}- It's not what you think! It's just dirt I swear!" You knew he was honest but you couldn't risk it
