Suddenly, without warning, Pumpkaboo returns to your side after having disappeared for some time. Although she's back in an environment more closer to the spirit realm, something about the atmosphere's off.
You'd scold her for being gone this long, but instead, all you do is simply press your finger to your lip.
The duck must run to Dendemille like an immigrant crossing the border. It's the Kalosian dream, baby.
"Just think, Calem--take a gander out our past through a reflective mirror glass, can you tell me what you from it?"
You don't answer, you just keep the rogue act up and keep sneaking down corridors, "Isn't it just downright silly how things turned out? This, everything, our entire feud began because you refrained to turn in something as SIMPLE AS A BOOK!"
While sneaking, you keep away from looking at the floor, thus you're unable to see your foot colliding with a thick brick left in the hall, "Shit!" you cry out.
Grashglik tenses up, then immediately turns around and quickens his pace.
"Come on out, I know you're in here now, I know you're still alive! Escape. Is. FUTILE!"
Another shot rings out, but you're still alive so it's alright.
"You really don't know how much that copy meant to me, did you Calem? It was a first-edition--do you even know what that means? It was one of the first copies to ever exist."
"It was in perfect condition, not a scratch was on it when I gave it to you, but you lost it. And often times, ever since that due date expired, I wonder, I wonder and ponder how fucking disgusting and destroyed, how tattered it looks like now under your possession."
He punches the wall.
"You said you only took one more look at it after I gave you, then forgot about it, don't you oftentimes wonder the same thing as me?"
Just when it seems like the goose has finally gotten his way, the duck--that being you--stumbles upon a sight that would make anyone's heart skip a beat.
