It would be irresponsible for me to allow these particular guests to wander off. Their tendency to get into trouble aside. [SIGH, NATALIA AND ION.] I also share the residence with two people from another world. Will and Lion Ushiromiya. [He glances at Peony.] If you want to run off, you're free to do so. The atmosphere has psychological effects, an ambient madness that takes different forms in every person. It's only natural.

[Jade hesitates. His voice becomes quieter, though not softer. It's a reserved tone, because he is saying something he doesn't really want to say.] While I'm spared from paranoia and moodswings, even I am afflicted with nightmares. And... at times, it's an effort to remember a very important lesson that I learned.

[And he stops in front of their house, but he waits for Peony.] Well, Your Highness? I'm sure you've been instructed not to follow a monster into its territory.
