"Wait, you've lost someone too?" Mirage asked.
"Yes. I've lost too dear people. My father died while fighting a criminal. He was a brave heart. I lost my little cousin in a car accident. She was an innocent girl, didn't deserve to die. Shrieks echoed in my head for endless days."

"I better go now. I don't want to deepen your sufferings."
"Yes, I get it. Actually my heart feels light now as I've known I'm not alone."
Silence seeped in.
"I have to go now. I'm sorry too," Clamor said and left Mirage's house.
He walked home. The night sung an eerie song of its own.
