" The time is near." " Y-yes, it is. We've noticed. We have been paying attention, after all." Two figures fidget next to each other, glancing at one another nervously. " Oh, really now?

" Yes, of course," they both whisper. With that, the grey eyes shut and disappear, leaving the nervous duo in darkness and hope for the future.
