A rather tall, black taser in sunglasses sits across from an injured, red, paper fan in an investigation room. The distant sound of a ticking clock is a constant. The silence filled the room like toxic gas. The first one to shatter that silence was the taser.

"I'm sure you know why you're here, Fan."
"...yes officer."
"You don't need to call me officer, my name is Taser."

He sounded tender, yet stern. Like a parent explaining what a child did wrong at a park.

"Well taser," fan murmured, "I'm a bit shaken up if you couldn't tell." fan chuckled. Although the situation wasn't humorous in the slightest.

"Of course. Fan, I hope you realize you are not a suspect for this case. We have already discovered the culprit's body."

Something about that made Fan's stomach twist. He hated test tube. But imagining his old friend. Shattered, charred, and mutilated. He had to get a grip before Taser noticed.

"Yes im aware offic--- taser."
"Great, then I'll b---"
"But im confused, why am i here if you've found the culprit?"
"I was getting to that."

Fan sunk in his chair. Stupid social skills. He had already struggled with them before bearly being to talk to anyone but his closest friends.

"Sorry."
"No need for apologizes. Fan, I'm sure you wouldn't know this but, there is an unaccounted for body. "

Fan suddenly realized what he was doing here. It wasn't something he was willing to talk about right now.

"I don't know where she is." he spoke, quickly and bluntly. Better to get it over with. Though that only made Taser peek at him with suspicion.

"We know that Lightbulb was one of the victims correct?"
"Y---yes. That's correct."

"You made it worse you made it worse you made it worse." he repeated to himself.

"And you have spoken about your excape attempt with her."
"Yes, as soon as the police asked me what happened."
"Look Fan. Lightbulb was a GLASS bulb. The materials of a glass bulb are praticly impossible to destroy in this fashion!"

"I'm with you on that, there was a bright green light, that i thought was grass, she vanished, and I climbed out. It's almost like she disappeared into another un---"

Fan paused for quite some time. Seemingly stunned. Taser cleared his throat. "Fan? What were you saying?"

"I think I know what happened. But it's going to sound insane."

Blue nudged my sholder and spoke in a worried tone, "Silver, you've played enough games---"

"Oh come on! I just got a hang of it!" i spoke cheerfully.

"Only because you've memorized every trivia card!" Blue shouted, "It's three am!"

I looked up at her pale eyes. Really? It's really been that long? I suppose everyone but me and the other lightbulbs have gone to bed but--- It's really been that many rounds?

I heard a loud yawn coming from across me. "She's right you know, we need sleep." but i didn't want to go to sleep. Because tomorrow test tube was coming here. I didn't want this night to end because that meant i would have to look her in the eyes again. I didn't know if I could handle that.
