We cut to a beautiful lake house right outside the shore. Pristine, and worn in a way that gives it character. The outside is colored with a base of soft blue primer all of which is lined with white highlights and the softest yellow trim. A two story monument to true comfort at sea, the wooden porch creaks and groans against the whispers of the winds. The brushing waves that meet the abode against it line the beach with seafoam, with an absolute give and pull as the days come.

On a clear, sunny, and absolutely serene Saturday morning, we find Caspion. Nestled into his bed, his room looking just like the one in Delilah's apartment. Filled with various memories and knickknacks from his few years of living with her, they are shining in the light w/a near pristine finish. His twin XL bed w/the comfiest cotton blanket and watermelon sheets are perfectly rested on Caspion. The sun cracks through the blinds and soon hits the eyelids of our lovely little batboy. As such, he is soon awoken. As the thought process of it clicks within his mind, his eyes soon beam out with joy. His body matches the energy, leaping out of bed with fervor and vigor. Standing on his tippy toes, he's already dressed for the day ahead! Ready to tackle the day ahead, he yells out to himself with such enthusiasm it's bursting out of every single corner of the room! What joy! What merriment! He then shares the merriment with the world! Or at least, to whoever may be listening!

Caspion; GOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Time for me to have a superb super day! I have some friends coming over, and they're making pancakes???!? MMMMMM yummy!

An errant open window soon brings in the sound of a loud car coming into the frame. Even on the second floor the sound of wheels against gravel soon makes its way up. Caspion then responds with absolute wonder as he knows exactly. EXACTLY. Who it is. Who else could it be?

Caspion: Oh boy! They're all here!! Oh man I can't wait to see Delilah and Lucina and Onyx and Erma and

....

And

.....

Like a stuttering tape, he soon repeats this a few times before, seemingly, cutting to the end of his sentence. Almost like a badly made jump cut in a commercial.

Caspion: ...,too! Wow! So many! Hope they like sprinkles!

Absolutely radiating with energy, he soon pokes his head out to take a peek at his lovely arrival. How could he stop himself? He already knows what he's about to see! SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH WANTING TO TAKE A PEEK HUH?

As he does so, in one fell swoop, his demeanor switches. The radiance that once filled the room has silenced all noise of joy, and is then filled with a silence that sits on the ears like the pen hits the coroner's papers to recover a body. His face soon drops into a similar emotion, as he views

As he views...

Oh no.

Oh no.

No no way he cant be here how cna be herbe ow how how no please

All of these thoughts clog his mind with no way of getting out. No way. No how. The sheen of his room drains away as it all turns monochrome. What were once treasured items now feel like how sunbleached signs look. There, but quite faded in a slightly ominous way. He bursts through the door and tries to sprint down the stairs to lock the front door. On his way, he trips on the first stair, with all of them responding to being flattened down into a smooth slide. And yet the more he tries to fall towards the first floor, the more that he falls upward. Nothing is letting him escape. Only as he hears the frightening jingles of the main door handle does the slide soon vomit him right in front of him. The warm tones that covered the entire abode have looked like they've been black and white this whole time. No color is seen here, not even on Caspion. His face reeks of genuine horror, his mouth barely being able to escape a terrified frown. Any attempt he finds himself to escape elsewhere proves all for naught, as the moment he looks down he finds himself shackled to the floor. The chains lead under it, down into an inky dark that looks radically different from even the black and white all around him currently. Within it, he does his best to try and reason with his captor, but all he finds back are a set of 3 eyes. They soon peer into the visage that is Caspion, and just as soon vanishes within the void below. The chains become tighter as Caspion is unable to get up. Look elsewhere. All that he can see is right in front of him.
