Simon's not here.

Amid the merriment to protect others from the mental horror Richard promised to practice.. He promised to learn. I think if I learn how to use my gift we can help Simon..

And that's just it. Simon is absent.. Richard can't be afraid of the man, and he can't let him...continue on his way to darkness. Whatever he became or was becoming Richard had to help. For Alex's sake.

For the young man's sake too.

Obviously for him. This wasn't some sort of experiment.

So he slips on a robe he'd borrowed from the hot springs in black, and padded up to Simon's floor. The darkness, the oppressive looming horror was gone and simply replaced with-

I've never been afraid of Shadows.

When he arrives in front of Simon's door he knocks.

"Simon?"

And then a pause.

Simon.
