yeah no we are not trusting, like, any of these other adults. i mean... komaeda? nice try, satan

but yaaaayyy it sounds like a plan then!! norton will honest to god be so beyond relieved when he sees another adult because he cannot deal with this being surrounded by kids deal, he just cannot take it. and no worries—norton is no murderer (but there's both a strong probably and a strong yet in here) and definitely somebody who clamor can count on!! though he is tragically a bit slow to warm up to people, but once he does? good boy! loyal, like a dog.
