But all of this? What is this?]
I-Is... is that...
[Xanth takes in a shuddering breath.]
Is--is that t-tr--true?
Don't cry, [his shadow coos, but Xanth hopes it was too quiet for Andrew to hear. If only he knew his text function better.]

...uhm... which part?
Don't be silly. It's all true. Doesn't matter which part, it's all true. Because you're really not a very good person.

I think it's everyone. And they all seem to have a big mouth as well, too.
Try, uh, turning off the lights in a dark room or something. Some old dude suggested that.
[He has no idea if it'll work. He hears what Andrew's shadow is saying, but now is not the time to ask.
In the background, you can probably hear Gunn's shadow. It's shouting things such as 'You're still scared of her' and 'We both know how you really feel', along with some cat-calls of 'Kitty kitty kitty.']

Yes! She's gonna get you again, kittyclaws slipsliding into your stomach, maybe she'll take your face this ti --

The shadow's words had brought an unfortunately vivid mental picture to mind, and she could almost feel Gunn beneath her claws.
Bryn curled her hands into fists on her knees and let Gunn close the connection. She had nothing more to say on the matter, and no comfort could be gained by speaking to him now.]
