His heart was starting to race as the panic was starting to catch up to him, but he tried his best to ignore it, he had to, he knew the other was coming closer and closer, he could hear the footsteps,  but he had to try and convince himself that the other didn’t know where he was. He was scared, climbing further and further behind the door as he held his hands over his mouth to try and keep his breathing quiet.

He wasn’t comforted by the words of the other, they chilled him to the bone, whether it was the way he sounded or the words he chose, Seven flinched at the flickering light, trembling as he tried not to make a sound.

His breathing and shaking got harder as the other said the rest of their words, he was terrified and his childlike mind distorted it to be more scarier than it may’ve already been, imagining the stranger already probably knew where he was and that he couldn’t hide.

For once panic got his better judgement from the other being so close, as soon as he got the chance, his body felt like it was on auto pilot as he ran out from behind the door and down the hall, trying to push obstacles in the thin mans way that were easy enough for him to move.

He had to keep running, that was the only thing that made sense to him, he couldn’t stop moving for a second and had to find a better hiding spot or get out of that building.

Well, he didn’t know what exactly he expected. He let out a sigh as he heard the other scurry off, the sound of small footsteps quickly fading away. He approached the doorway, taking a moment to examine the door the child was hiding behind. He wasn’t in a hurry. There was… plenty of time. Placing his hand on the doorframe, he leaned over, looking down the hall.

He stared, mildly amused, at the clutter on the floor; the other’s attempt to slow him down. Beginning his stride down the hallway, he moved a toppled over chair to the side with ease. His heavy footsteps echoed through the corridor. The quiet hum of static followed with him (a neverending noise.)

When he reached the end of the hall, he at last caught sight of the boy, unhidden. Without further hesitation, he reached a thin hand towards him. The buzz of static grew louder and filled the air around them. He was almost in his grasp.

He made an effort to drink more of the fizzy drink, thankfully it survived everything due to its containment, it was oddly sweet and burned his throat from the carbonation, but considering it was the first thing he’s had to drink for awhile, he wasn’t gonna complain. Holding onto the can with his arms wrapped around it, he leaned against the wall and started to slump as he let the weight of all that running and exhaustion catch up to him, rain water and soda dripping off of him.

He was tired, he needed a break, but no matter what he could never stop to rest usually, even here, for often it meant life or death in this cruel world. He knew the building was much bigger than he explored and knew there was more than just this room for things to hide in, he couldn’t stop now and he definitely wouldn’t let himself sleep here of all places.

It’s kinda funny and ironic though, he thought, that of all the safest places to take shelter a hospital was one of them, he was probably just thankful to have a break from the rain and all the monsters that he didn’t even mind the smell of chemicals and death somewhere nearby and probably throughout the building.

He forced himself to sit up more and was about to take another drink when he heard footsteps in the other room, that brought him back to alertness, immediately he dropped his soda and jumped out of his chair to run for the other room, quickly swerving behind the door to hide and peering around the corner of the door to watch for who it was and if it was safe yet, ready to run again if need to and aiming to try and keep hidden if the other came into the room.

He peered into the room. It appeared empty, no sign of anyone. That was at least until he caught sight of a soda can on the floor. Typically, this wouldn’t be something to acknowledge. The city was filled with all kinds of discarded items and little things left behind. However, it was clear from the still fizzing liquid that dripped from the can that someone had opened it… and been here very recently. His suspicions were correct, it seemed. 

If someone was hiding here… He assumed they must be a child. He pitied whoever this little one must be - this city was no place for children. It hadn't been for a long, long time.

He finally, slowly, stepped into the room. He didn’t intend to scare whoever might be hiding here away, although that wouldn’t make much of a difference. Children were skittish, they ran, they hid - and could he really blame them? If only they knew.

He took a moment to clear his throat. His voice comes out quiet, distorted, but still intelligible. 

“...I know you're in here.” The lights flicker. He eyes any possible hiding spots - under the lone chair, by the vending machine perhaps? No… He looks directly towards the open doorway. 

“There’s no need to hide.”

Of all the places Seven has been out here, this building gave him chills the most by just its ambience alone, a dark decrepit hospital with dried blood staining the floor and not a single trace of light coming in anywhere but from his flashlight. He hated it here, all that was left would’ve been to make the place flooded and he’d have waking nightmares of this awful place.

Continuing deeper through the building, keeping a hand on the wall as he walked, he eventually found a more dimly lit, allowing him to shut off his flashlight for now, florescent light pouring into the space from overhead as he took a moment to sit and gather his surroundings. So far everything felt abandoned for now, so he should be safe enough to rest for a moment, checking the vending machine to see if it still worked and getting his answer pretty quickly as it spit out a soda.

Better than nothing, that’s what he reasoned with himself in this apocalyptic hell, and plus if he’s lucky it should still be good considering it as in a can this whole time, so he carried the drink over to a chair and cracked it open, using his sleeves to protect himself from the tab as he did so. It may’ve protected him from the metal, but not the carbonated buildup from the fall as the soda ended up spraying him in result, almost causing the poor kid to drop his drink entirely.

It wasn’t the best situation, but it’d work, he tried to drink the soda and kicked his legs in the chair as faint tv static filled the ambient of the next room.

The hum of static. A flickering screen. 

The thin man straightened up and dusted off his suit. The hospital floor was awfully grimy. The air brought a chill with it. After all this time, this place still didn’t fail to mildly unsettle him (the patients, especially - a distorted, blurry memory,)  which is why he avoided this building when he could. 

Placing a hand on the glowing television screen, he thought of going back, but something in his mind kept him from doing so. It was an itching feeling that he was not alone in this quiet area of the building. He pulled his hand away, eyes scanning the rest of the room. The possibility of finding the one he was searching for here was enough to keep him for a little while.  

He turned and moved past the seated, lifeless patients as he approached the doorway of the dimly lit room close by. Perhaps his footsteps would be enough to make his presence known.

The creature within the mirrors can’t say that their all to familiar with the streets of the city. Instead being more familiar with navigating which mirrors were usable and which were not. Those were easier then figuring out which direction they took or what building they pasted by. 

Pausing in the middle of hoping to another mirror as they catch sight of someone. He ran into him once before though could not recall if there was a name. The mirror man could not speak, voice unable to be carried. The next thing that they could do?

If the man in the fedora would turn then the being within the mirror would wave in greeting.

in a burst of static and noise that quickly fizzled out, the man emerged from the screen of a television onto the lonely streets of the pale city. slowly, he stood up, quickly glancing around the area. seeing no one in sight, he let out a quiet, somewhat disappointed sigh.

this was, however, quite an odd place. as he observed the area his eyes caught sight of a mirror, propped up against a wall, perfectly intact. in its glass was a familiar figure. he was certain he’d seen this one before. he kneeled down in front of the mirror and gave the creature a wave.

“you. have we met before...?”
