The intrusive feeling fades, and Ryo waits, keeping an eye on the statue and on Potato, when near them a flower begins to rapidly grow. And absorb the tiny golden lights around it. And-
Oh.
That's not good.
His stomach turns briefly at the thought of that happening to anyone, and he takes a moment to settle himself-
Only to remember in the next one that the horrifying distended flower is the statue's response to him asking if something was wrong with Potato.
Okay. Okay. Think it through. His magic doesn't work the way it should on this world, and Potato has a lot of magic in her, so it stands to reason whatever she can do isn't working well here either. And the flower had been absorbing those golden lights. Maybe...
Well, he can always ask. "This world isn't good for her, is it." He pauses. "I don't think I can fix that, but...maybe I can find someone who can?" There has to be a solution, even if that solution winds up being 'evacuate Potato back to the train so she doesn't get destroyed by whatever is happening here.'
