HARPER
Slurp.
The toy disappears as rags overtake the area surrounding the mask, and Harper can't help but stare in inquisitive awe. An entirely different being than Safrin as he'd expected, but still completely out of the realm of imagination Harper had.
The knowledge itself is saddening, perhaps even a little distressing, and Harper can't help the frown that pulls at his lips. "Are they in danger the more time that passes? They can't be broken or decay can they?" Kiada had not voiced that concern directly, but she had mentioned that she would have to fight for Ru'in's soul endlessly until she succeeded. "I don't want to sound ungrateful to Mort for handling my soul when it's my time but...will I never be reunited with the souls of my home world?" Sorrow lines his words in a betrayal of his feelings, terrified that after so long telling himself he can't lay down and die because he'll reunite with his parents and loved ones when the time is right, that perhaps The Voice has stolen that opportunity from him.

I'll be with you each and every night
Chasing that horizon in your eyes
