Harmful Illusions

Just seeing the dark-shaded parts on the tree wouldn't be a particular detail for Darcel to notice before that first tree exploded. But now, it was like something had slowly clicked in his mind the more he stared at the dark-shaded spots.

Anything that happens in this hazy white mist, Darcel didn't consider it a coincidence at all. His mind clicked back to Aniela using Light energy to find the difference in the white leaves.

Previously, Aniela did claim her Light energy senses didn't pick up on anything. However, since they now have a different perception of the trees, Darcel believed it could change.

He had then turned to ask her, "Aniela….you also see the dark shaded parts of the trees, right?" 

"Eh?" 

Aniela perked up as Darcel called out to her. Because he had pointed it out, she too had quickly noticed the dark-shaded parts of the tree.

Masami as well notices it but stays silent, assuming that Darcel has an idea.
