Chapter Text

Classes started at seven and their last one ended at four, they had barely eaten during the small lunch break off all the work they needed to get done, after school this tired student had about an hour to get home and get ready for work before they had to go off to work the night shift at a 24 hour pizza place.

By the time they got home it was about 12:14 and the burnt out college student couldn't wait to just relax, lay on the sofa they got about a year ago from ikea and watch Netflix. Or, listen to something with a plot better than any Netflix original.

They quickly yanked their phone from the ratty bag they had since they were a freshman and hopped onto youtube, they knew they were late to the Imperium’s finally but due to their busy schedule but that didn't matter much to them, they were still always pumped to see what lore dumps they could add to their theories and enjoy the comfort when it showed its face, this was not the month for much comfort.

The month of October had been taken over by one of their favorite characters, he had a cocky personality and he didn't seem to care about anyone but himself, Echo himself. You can tell they have great taste in men. This month was a great treat for the lore loving simp of a listener we got here. As they popped in their headphones and clicked the newest video, ‘claimed by two sadistic vampires’ and happily listened away as they made themselves a plate of leftover chinese food.

By the time they had sat back down with the plate of reheated food the video had ended, slightly upset it was over but also excited at the fact the original words lore would be returning they pulled their phone out of their hoodie pocket before looking to see another video up. The words ‘welcome Back’ with the image of an eye lay on their screen. A quiet squeal escaped their lips before happily sitting down the plate of leftovers and themselves on the couch before clicking play.

As they listened to the words of their favorite character taunting them and the other listeners about lore and the future of the story line and his hating of the viewers constant nagging for a jealous asher or living Adam.

At around the five minute mark, less than half way threw the video echo ends his monologue with “i see you, I will always see you.” Before his logo fades to black, and so does the late listeners vision. The edges of their vision start fading to black as they feel their hearing fade along with it. The comfort they had from knowing they where safe at home was washed away with the tidelwave of fear now rushing threw their mind. In their panic of losing their sense they sprong from their crappy sofa, sending their reheated food onto the floor. They had become completely deaf, and as they reached to grab their ears it felt as if their were going numb, by the time more than half of their vision was gone they couldn’t feel anything, hear anything, smell the food now soaking into the the brown carpet the stood on, and soon they couldn’t see anything.

It felt like a void of black. It was a void of black. Nothing was everywhere and even their thoughts didn’t even sound as loud as they should. It felt as if they whernt in a body at all, As if their soul had been torn out of it. ‘Am I dead?’ Was the loudest thought in their head, but it wasn’t as loud as the cheerful humming they heard.

Almost instantly they felt. Their hands on their head, feet on the ground, clothing on their skin, air in their lungs. They felt their eyes open but they still saw nothing but black.

They frantically spun around so they were facing the sound. The culprit humming was a taller man dressed in what they presumed to be a suit, walking away from the now very confused listener. The Lyrics to the song danced through their mind as they listened, ‘drip drip drop little April shower…’ The confused soul took a step towards the man, the sound of splashing under their bare foot, now realizing they seem to be standing in an extremely small amount of some kind of pitch black liquid they couldn’t see.

The man's humming stopped as he sipped around to see the listener staring at him. His face was a pale white and his eyes matched that colour, his hair as well. His voice boomed Through the black as he asked “who are you?” The sound of his voice brought up only one name, and it wasn’t their own. All they could say was his.

“Echo”
