Lonely shadows following me
Lonely ghosts come a-calling
Lonely ghosts come a-calling
Footsteps chirruped and shuffled after him, and he hadn't taken many steps before Chulane was blocking his path again. Intentionally this time. Korbin stopped. Looked down at the biscuits, and was reminded of the first time they had met. He had been a bird then, and the crumbled cookies Chuy offered had gone to waste in the snow.
He took one. Turned it over between gnarled fingers, numb with cold, and nibbled at it. It was dry, and in his parched mouth it tasted like ash. Most things did, these days. He didn't try to eat more.
"No reason. No reason not to." he said hoarsely, with a shrug. Korbin looked away, gaze flitting everywhere but at the man. "Why did you tell me to come?" It had never worked in the past. Did the guy really expect anything to be different not?
Well, why not. Everything was different. All Korbin's reasons for thinking and acting, doing and being had been taken away. He should feel liberated and free, now that he could remake himself however he wanted... but the cost was just too high.

Thousand voices dead at my feet
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone
