"Found you..." said Music Man. Cynthia gulped, before the humanoid robot dragged her off into the casino. "You're foolish..," Said the spider in disguise, "It's children like you that make me who I am." A few minutes later, Music Man decided to quickly go through the gambling section of the casino, as to spend less time among the noisy patrons. He speed walked through the alcoholic smelling adults, the blindingly bright gambling machines flashing their colorful lights onto his purely metallic body, and gritted his teeth when speeding past the poker tables and their noise when participants won money.

Suddenly, as Music Man was walking, a young boy charged into Music Man and tackled him onto the black carpet floor. It was Nicholas! He had came to save Cynthia from her impending doom. As soon as Cynthia looked at Nicholas and tried to reason with him, he began....crying.

Nicholas cried into Cynthia's shoulder, but Cynthia wanted to push him away for trying to attack Music Man. Yet, she refused, since she knew he was mentally broken at the moment because of her note. "Cynthia... can I tell you something...?" Nicholas asked slowly. She nodded, wanting to hear what he had to say, as she knew Nicholas' talking was the kind of noise she actually enjoyed. "I don't like silence because... it makes me feel alone, like nobody's around me anywhere. and... the voices in my head keep saying stuff to me. Dark twisted phrases, keep telling me all these things that I don't want to think, or don't know how to feel about... they always make me so mad... as I know, the only company when it's silent, isn't another person, but millions of voices in my head... giving off agonizing whispers, or angrily yelling at me... making me feel... trapped... so, in a way..." his tears started getting worse. "silence is hell to me..." Cynthia was shocked when he said that... was it.. why he always wanted to talk to her, because her expressions spoke loudest for him?

She shook her head. The animatronic she had spoken to taught her the real meaning of silence. "And it's all because of them....adults...my parents, and adults, they-they-always make these noises. They never pay attention to-"

"Excuse me sir? Why were you touching this young girl?"

"Sir, what's your employee IP number?

"Hey...why do you look so much like that animatronic we brought in today? And why are you here?"

Cynthia and Nicholas looked behind them, and saw a group of adults question Music Mans behavior. As more attention was brought onto him, more adults joined, pressuring music man more. One after the other, each new joining adult was like a needle injecting his veins with tension. And their noise...the noise and questioning of what he was doing. The barely-human backed into a gambling machine, his back slamming against the wall, and his hands glued to his ears.

Nicholas on the other hand, was happy. Not mad happy, not sad happy, just happy. The adults, they listened. Their adult world was shattered by his rebellion against Music Man. If they were all truly lost to the other side of hell, the one filled of noise, then they would let Music Man take the children. It's the adults silence that Nicholas had been fearing. The silence that would keep adults from hearing the cries of children as they perish. Then, his joy climaxed as he heard...

"Kids! Cynthia, Nicholas, there you are! Are you okay?"

"What's happening? Is this guy bothering you?"

Nicholas looked up to see Cynthia's parents running to their aid. Cynthia's mom quickly hugged both of them. "Are any of you hurt?" She asked worriedly. Nicholas and Cynthia shook their heads no, not being hurt at all, apart from Nicholas' mostly healed skull. As soon as the children confirmed they were okay, Cynthia's Dad turned towards Music Man. Music Man was shaking with fury because of the noise directed at him.

"Hey you!! What are you doing with my ki-" The dad said, interrupted. "Everyone, I- SHUT UP!!!" Music Man yelled, losing his patience. "How bout you shut your trap, bud?! You have a lotta questions to answer about this mess." Said the dad, getting closer to Music Man. "DON'T. SAY. THAT." Music Man yelled, being reminded of his past by him telling him to shut up. "Make me, you creep!" And with that, Cynthia's dad pushed Music Man into a gambling machine, causing both Music Man and the machine to topple to the floor. As Music Man hit the floor, the illusion disc on his tooth was destroyed by the impact.
