Chapter 21.5

Special 1 is the first special chapter of The Promised Neverland specials.

Synopsis
Norman has fallen ill, and to stop the spread, Isabella has quarantined the little boy. But that doesn't stop Emma from visiting her friend.

Plot
The story takes place six years ago, during the fresh start of 2039. The year opens with a crime scene. It seems someone has killed Norman. Well, that is what Emma and a curious Ray believe. Luckily, Isabella is there and concludes that Norman has a cold and is recovering in the infirmary. She informs the children, especially Emma, to stay away from the infirmary for a while.

But Isabella's warning only motivates Emma to visit her sick friend and spend time with him. Even the other children want to visit Norman. They don't want him to feel lonely. Unable to keep the children away, Isabella goes to extreme measures and covers the infirmary's door with caution 'keep out' tape. But Emma is a persistent and creative little girl. She makes a paper cup phone so that she and the other children can talk to Norman. Now they can speak without being close.
