[Hijikata's little paper wolf really seems to have a knack for finding people totem-travelling around the island, so it does make it back to the forlorn little hut before Allura's arrival. When it lowers its newly massive head to look inside through the window Hijikata is so surprised that his writing (he was in the middle of taking exorcism notes from book pages he photographed) turns into a scrawl.]
What the..?!
[He hastens outside, where the worry monster picks him up with its maw and sets him on its back before taking off running. Without a mane blocking the wind Hijikata has to hold on tight, digging his fingers into its paper hide and causing tiny creases, but luckily he can already see the white lion approaching from the south after his wolf leaps across the roaring river. Ultimately it's not far from the ruins of Celliwig where the two kaiju-sized paper creatures meet.
He can't see a rider on the lion, unaware that he, too, is currently invisible... there was no manual for the worry monsters besides the instructions on the paper, so what's the meaning of this? Are they going to battle it out? Apparently not, because his wolf turns its head, picks him up from its back, and sets him down on the ground (where he turns visible again), then dissolves into a bunch of black butterflies. He stares up at them for a moment, and when he looks back at where the lion was he sees a familiar figure surrounded by white butterflies.]
