I pick up the note within my hands, curious to what it may mean. I just accept its some drawing probably made by some little kid... Maybe a survivor? I look up at the containers... what if there are survivors within these?! I have to get inside them... but how? I don't see crowbar or any type of instrument to forcefully open these!

"Well here's where you were" cooed a voice behind me and instantly turn back to confront the slender man
"Why wont you kill me?" wait, WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT!?
"I'm unsure myself, you'd probably either be torn in half and i admire your insides or hug you to death"
"Well, thats reassuring" I reply with a small smile
"Well what can i say, im a gentle guy" He laughs

But this time... his laugh seemed genuine and not so... sinister. I dont know why but i think he also has a good side to him. But the question is, can he control it?

"You seem to be thinking about something"
"oh-" i snap back to reality "-I was just thinking-"
"About?"
"Um... why exactly do you kill people?"
"for the pleasure of pure fun" he says with a dull tone
"Theres nothing pleasurable to that... so am i not up to your standards then?" I confront
"well..." a confused look spreads on his... face?
"am i not important enough?"
"..."
"I know i'm not important" i sigh and turn away "I feel worthless and live in the life of someone fake. I have never shown my true self, i've always plastered a smile onto me and faced the world for what it may bring... Especially after... especially after...." i stop in mid-sentence as i realise i was crying
"your tears..."

I look back and see his head tilted to the side... concerned? I look at him and pull the sleeve of my blazer and wipe the years-

"Its nothing-"
"They're not full of fear"
"... what?" i say confused
"those i came across are filled with fear... your are filled with sadness... how so?"
"well..." i take a deep breath to calm myself and fully fac him "Just sad memories of my life i'd rather not talk about" I finish and give him a small fake smile
"You dont need to put on an act. I can see through your smile... Its not genuine. I dont know why im not killing you, i should be by now and i would be by now but something... something is stopping me..." He pauses and looks at me "BUT I WONT ALLOW YOU TO LIVE EITHER!"
