[ So he inadvertently hit the nail on the head, but it makes sense. The bakery is close by, the crushed flowers, Gaelio's erratic behavior. Even worse is the implication that something bad may have happened to McGillis. Was he killed or kidnapped or what?
The color drains from Noctis' face as he contemplates the possibilities. He and McGillis had spoken not too long ago, idle conversation. Nothing really revealing. Noctis had also left him a gift outside his door for Sunsu -gratitude for all the free 'taste-testing' he got to do for him. If he'd been under any kind of duress, he hadn't shown it. Not to mention, he's capable with his shape-shifting abilities.
