The Phantom in red?
==============================================================================
Milo had exchanged words with many people. They asked all different variants of the same question.
"How are you holding up?"
"Are you okay?""
"Are you sad?"
How would one answer such a question?
"I am fine" He replied.
Nothing is more mind numbing than events like this. Especially when everyone walks on eggshells around you.
Eventually Milo couldn't take their half hearted smiles anymore, and head up to the second floor. It was quieter up there while everyone mingled on the 1st floor until...
"Hello, Mr. Erebus. I am Mike Howard"
Milo looked back to see a man in a black suit extending his hand.
"..." Milo shook his hand, as the man tried to talk business.
After awhile, Milo managed to brush him off. and return to the peaceful silence of avoiding everyone.
He watched everyone from up there, like his own little world. Squeezing the railing as someone caught his eye, a girl dressed in red. He couldn't see her face, but he could recognize the dress anywhere.
His gripped tightening as he leaned in closer. It was the one his fiance always wore to things lie this.
"(Called out his fiance's name)" Then the rail broke, and he fell over the edge. The crowds of people all turned their heads to see Milo hit the ground.
The girl in red waked over to him, and as she loomed over his lifeless body. A faint smile .
