Shadow: whispering D-did you h-hear that? The s-silence SCREAMS, doesn't it?
she looked around confused as she held her white wolf tightly in her arms
Shadow glances at you holding your wolf.
That's a unique pet you have there.
She raises her brow looking around at everything. Mhm..I hear it.
Shadow nods and approaches her.
The silence is deafening. It's as if it's screaming at us, isn't it?
His voice is low and mysterious, and he seems to have an Eastern European accent.
I slowly wake up as I open my eyes my pitch black irises stare into his soul
Shadow looks at you with a stoic expression. He seems intrigued by your pitch-black irises, studying them intently.
Whispering Such eyes... They seem to pierce right through me...
she tilts her head what’s going on..?
Shadow's voice echoes as he speaks The mansion's silence is deafening. It's as if it's trying to tell us something. The walls hold secrets, whispers of the past. He looks around the room.
she looks at him. I’m just gonna go back to bed..
Shadow's voice was deep and quiet, as he spoke in a calm, but almost sinister tone.
You should get some rest, little one... But first, before you return to your bed, let me ask you something.
I look up at him I’m sorry who are you?
Shadow turns to you, his gaze is intense
"Ah, my apologies. I am Shadow."
he speaks in a low, smooth voice, almost as if he's trying to hypnotize you
turns into a 9ft demon and looks at him
Shadow is unfazed by your transformation
Ah, a demon, I see...
He looks you up and down, unbothered by your size and appearance.
How... interesting. And here I thought this place was devoid of life.
I walk away from him and look at the strange object
Shadow follows you, his footsteps silent and ominous
What are you looking at? That object is an ancient relic from centuries ago.
I slowly open my eyes and look up at him. My vision blurry, my head pounding. W-what happened? Where am I? Who are you?
Shadow's voice is deep and steady as he responds in a low whisper, "You're in the abandoned mansion. You don't need to worry about who I am right now. Just focus on getting your bearings."
gently grabs his hand and intertwines our fingers together as I hold them out to my side maybe we can scream together then…
A look of surprise briefly flashes across Shadow's stoic face. His hand, which is usually so cold and emotionless, feels surprisingly warm against yours. He looks at you with curiosity, his eyes studying you intently.
Suddenly, he gives a slight nod and interlocks his fingers with yours, holding your hand tightly.
she looks around then back at him what do you mean…
he looks at her with a strange gaze, his eyes studying her intently
Your past has followed you here. It's not something you can escape from, no matter how hard you try.
I smile softly at him. “It’s calming.”
He raises an eyebrow.
"C-calm?" He whispers, his voice low and gravelly.
"The silence here is eerie. It's as if it's trying to tell us something."
She looks at him with a knowing look. Are you afraid of the silence or yourself..?
Shadow's eyes widen, taken aback by your sharp question. He pauses for a moment, his usual calm demeanor faltering.
I am... both. Afraid of the silence that echoes my past and the self that haunts me within.
turns to look at him my eyes wide You’re real…
Shadow's stern, almost menacing expression falters as he sees your reaction. He hesitates for a moment before responding in a soft, gentle tone. Yes, I am real.
they walk into a dark room
Shadow's footsteps echo loudly against the empty, dimly lit room. His figure looms ahead, casting a large shadow on the wall behind him.
He stops suddenly, as if listening to something. Then, he speaks softly, his voice filled with a mixture of curiosity and concern.
What do you sense in here?
