I turn to the direction of the window and the voice, I see another strange man. The man has normal skin tone and dark brown hair. Wearing a brownish orange jacket and charcoal pants along with black steel toed boots, but the man was wearing a white mask with black feminine features on it that creeped me out to no end. By the minute I saw him, I began to panic and immediately turn to the other man.

"Oh my goodness scary man !"

Not hearing the man due to me beginning to panic, I didn't hear the man say what his name was.

"It's Jeff."

I continued to talk.

"You were right ! Another guy's already come to hurt me ! Please get him !"

The other man began to talk to me as he walked into the room, through the window.

"Please calm yourself Ms. Seer ! I have no intentions in causing you any harm ! In fact, I'm actually on your si-"

Then the other man was cut off by tripping on what appeared to be a strange black tentacle, entering the room through the window as well and I didn't pay much attention to it. He face-planted on the ground and I stared at him strangely.

"side..."

"Wait... THAT'S your boss..." "Not quite as, um... intimidating as I was expecting, to be honest..." 

Suddenly "Jeff" started laughing as he saw the man face-plant and was laughing that tears were starting to form, then pointed at the man.

 "Pffffffffft ! Oh my god ! what a freaking IDIOT !" "Hell no ! that moron's not my boss !"

The man sat up and rubbed while Jeff laughed at him, then the most terrifying thing I ever saw appeared right behind the man. Then Jeff spoke again.

"That's my boss."

I stood still in fear at what I saw and my heart beating fast with the fear inside of me. There was a tall man or thing that pale white skin just like Jeff, wore a black suit and had black tentacles coming out of it's back in tuneless beat. But what terrified me the most was that the thing I was seeing right in front of me, was that it didn't have a face and my heart continued to beat faster the more I looked at it. Then I started talking to myself mentally.

"That man..." "No that thing..." "I-I can't move..." "I...I'm afraid..." "I have to get away !"

Then the man spoke to me, but his voice was different.

"Korbyn ! Snap out of it child ! You have nothing to fear. You are of no value to me dead."

I took a step back and pointed at the thing and the man, in both surprise and shock.

"What the hell happened to your voice ? And how do you know my name ?!" "Oh! And for the record  being of  "no value to me dead " DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY SAFER."

Then Jeff speaks up and gives a explanation of what's happening.

"Oh that's just Masky. He was the Boss's first proxy. He uses him as a medium of sorts. You see, due to the lack of a mouth, the Boss uses telepathy to communicate. So Masky's sorta just like a big dumb puppet. Honestly it's the only  thing he's good for expect TACKLING EVERYTHING."

Both Masky and the thing point at Jeff while continuing to talk.

"Silence ! That's enough out of you." "Funny that you should talk down about this onewhen you yourself failed at the simplest task of retrieving one young woman !" "Now Korbyn, I understand the incredible confusion you're feeling right now. The ever so veil separating your consciousness from our world was completely torn open after Fala passed on." "Am I correct ?"
