Noboru sat in shock the entire ordeal. He couldn't believe it. It gnawed at the back of his mind that it was Chiaki, but he doubted that little whisper the entire time, even when the facts were laid out in front of him. He froze in place, unsure what to do. He knew the Chiaki that layed inside the glass bulb was real, and the one that talked was fake. He still doubted it though. Even when Rui went to free the real Chiaki, he flinched, wondering how close Rui was cutting the slice. He would've done it himself but he was too frozen in place, unsure of what to do. His mind raced at the speed of sound, unable to think clearly. Noboru shakily readied himself, ready to fight, if it called for a fight.
