The spiritual pressure surrounding Dobby had started becoming unstable. Subtle enough that nobody else present noticed it.
But Noah did.
Every second Dobby remained active, the negativity accumulated within him continued to affect his body.
And unlike before, Dobby no longer merely carried those emotions.
The skills Noah was able to see didn't fully disclose what had changed about Dobby's body.
But from what he could sense, the Black Communion had fundamentally changed the nature of Dobby's existence itself.
Negative emotions no longer behaved like foreign energy within him.
They had become nourishment. Dobby probably wouldn't be able to exist unless he had a stable source of negative energy available.
And eventually, if left unchecked for too long, that same energy would become poison instead.

Noah understood what Dobby required. And Dobby understood that Noah already knew.
The surrounding cats and dogs watched without fully understanding what was happening.
