“Do you ever feel stressed, and just go to your own little quiet place?” White asked. “Of course,” I responded. “Well, that’s the place that I disappear to.” I nodded understandingly. “Want to know a little secret?” She whispered questioningly. “Sure.” I mumbled. “I have to keep calm, or else I might unleash my inner demon; Wraith. She is an evil spirit who has no face. If I let her escape, she’ll destroy everything.” She said, rather panicked. “H-Hey! Are y-you okay, m-man?!” I cried as White stumbled and began moaning. “Run,” She said, but I stayed put. “…I’ll be back.” She mumbled as she darted off. Later, I found her watching the city up in her quiet place high above the city. “It’s always so quiet here…” She whispered. “Yeah…it’s a great view. I can see why you like to come here.” I replied. “Yes…thank you for coming to see me. It’s quiet here, but it’s lonely, too, sometimes.” She paused for a moment. “Again, thank you.” I smiled softly. “Of course, White.” She returned a smile. “I appreciate it, Korrina.” She said.
