The first time that he had heard the laughter was the moment he stepped off of the Twilight Vale lands. It had been quiet, but a whisper, and Conri had been certain that he was being followed. There had been nothing there, not a soul, but over the days Conri had heard the laughter again and again, louder and louder each time. It happened today even, as he made his way down the beach, trudging through the sands. He hadn't slept in days, his eyes bloodshot and his mind cloudy, swirling with thoughts. He'd become to numb to everything, it seemed, all except for the fact that he was completely aware of what he'd done. "You shouldn't be out by yourself.." The words came quietly, stopping suddenly at the sight of someone else. "It's not safe out alone.." His words were hoarse and quiet, though they held some dire seriousness to them. The laughter came back, cackling in his ears at his feeble attempts to warn the stranger. He'd done the unthinkable already, to the one person he had loved with all his heart, it was impossible for him to know what he could do to a complete stranger. |
