It's kind of telling that of all the things he's seen so far since returning to Recollé, it's a police car that makes him stop in surprise. But it's so mundane, so out of place next to all the monsters and destruction, that he just can't help it: he stops, staring and then rearing back in surprise when a wave of energy surges out from the driver's side. Whoa, that's not something he'd known any of the RPD members to have...!

And then of all things, it's Togusa that gets out of the car. The lousy prank he, Noctis, and Prompto had played on him seems a lifetime ago; Dante lets out a breath of mixed surprise and relief that's almost choking as it becomes a gasp a half-second later.

Because he heard Togusa's voice. He heard it, even though there's no way the other man had spoken aloud. Dante's gaze darts back to him, and his confusion is obvious on his face. "Togusa... what...?"

What the hell is going on?
