[b]Anumi sits in the cafeteria eating her favorite food, small cupcakes. Lucien sits across from her but he just stares at her, blank and cold. She's gotten used to his lifeless look. It used to bother her, but at this point... She just doesn't have the luxury to care. Lucien turns his head to watch outside a viewport, watching the outside world move on without him.[/b] [i][u]"What are you thinking about...?"[/u][/i] [i]"I hate this..."[/i] [i][u]"Hmmm...?"[/u][/i] [i]"This banter. It's dumb as hell."[/i] [b]Lucien gets up, wraps himself in the jacket he brought along and walks to the hangar. But something stops him before he enters the large room. The silence. It's wretched and bizarre. This ship has plenty of noise, he knows that's for sure... But this is off... The silence is quickly interrupted by the rhythmic drum of footsteps. Lucien frowns and makes his way back to the cafeteria. He enters, only to find Anumi and her tray for food have long disappeared. He pulls a cigarette from his pocket he tries to light it, but the lighter just doesn't seem to make a flame.[/b] [i]"Guess I had to die some day..."[/i] [b]A hand rests on his shoulders...[/b] [b]Anumi walks past a few guards and taps on the door to Lucien's room. He went to the hangar three hours ago. No one had seen him since. She opens the door, knowing his passcode only to find the room empty. She was getting worried. Knowing him, he might just be walking around aimlessly... But... She had to know he was safe. She continues to walk down the halls and corridors of the ship, becoming desperate in her search for Lucien. She follows his last trace to the hangar. It's empty... Not just of him... But of all people. A silence soaks into the room as the gentle ring of stomping echoes in the ship. Unsure of what's happening, she continues down the hangar, picking up speed. The sound grows ever closer no matter how fast she goes. It doesn't take long before it is deafening. It sounds like the footsteps are right behind but when she turns to look, she finds nothing. Panicking, she screams out.[/b] [i][u]"Leave me alone!"[/u][/i] [b]She stops and covers her ears and closes her eyes, trying to block out the horrifying marching surrounding her. And just as sudden as it starts, it ends. She opens her eyes to find security workers looking at her with distressed faces. She falls to her knees and tears begin to fill her eyes as a horrific realization hits her.[/b] [b][u]He had found her.[/u][/b] [spoiler]Open[/spoiler]
