As they go around the corner a wisp of smoke starts to emerge from Naoki. It takes a familiar shape, basically a butterfly of some king while also looking more like a Rorschach blot than an actual insect.
"Aradia?" Naoki asks, but still follows close to Duty. That sense of danger he has is rapidly spiking and Naoki is visibly tense. The strange not-a-butterfly lands just above the words written on the wall and flattens itself down to look more like it too is drawn on the wall.
Duty had already gone still, and Naoki now knows why. He goes still too just before he hears the horrible sound of some creature and rapid footsteps. Naoki desperately wants to turn around and face the threat, but he's read enough myths and stories about situations like this.
Duty has been here longer, so Naoki focuses on him and holds his breath.
