[This feels like another nightmare. Maybe it is! Maybe they're back in that kid's dreamscape, seeing copies of their favourite actors again! But this time, ohhhhh this time feels so much worse!! At least before they weren't being perceived!
It's tempting, to just keep speed-walking away. To keep running from their problems. They're fast enough to do it, they know, they could, but...
but some part of them, maybe, realizes it won't end with this. It's not that simple. They've already been seen, haven't they? And even if they hid... if this is real, then she'll find them eventually, or someone else will confirm their existence, and then what? They do all this again? How many times? Can't they just rip off that bandaid now, and get this part of it over with?
If this is a dream, they hope it can at least be a kind one. Please, just once.
They stop as suddenly as they'd started, turning sharply on a heel. All smiles! Strained, strained, strained smiles.]
Oh, I didn't see you there, teehee! What can I help you with, dear Housemaiden? Directions? Advice? Party tricks?
also puts an ISAT spoiler warning here sighs a lot
