Seeing him in the flesh in a dream world so far removed from their own is a shock that Thoma will have to process later, however. As for the other man, well, he’s a complete stranger, but the way he’s talking to Diluc suggests some kind of familiarity – though perhaps not anything good – and then there’s the Hydro Vision on his belt.
