Ah, Crystal… 👁️ How dutiful of you to follow at last—after such timid courtesies.
One must commend restraint, I suppose… though I confess, watching you haunt the edges was almost more delectable than your arrival. ♟️
When your little spectacle burns itself out—when applause curdles into static—expect me. I do so love stepping onto the stage after the curtain falls… when every mask has slipped, and the audience finally admits it was watching all along. 🕯️
Timid? You mistake my patience for fear, my dearest.
Still, you noticed my grand entrance? I am flattered.
I was simply waiting for the dead to stop pretending... Or perhaps for you to ready your haunting monologue.
Wouldn't want the curtains to rise back up as the suddenness of a wave and steal your spotlight away so soon, now would you?
I wonder tho... How long can you keep pretending? how long can you stay hidden behind that veil, for you sound awfully familiar @prompt-ghost
