>>4536My dear friend, I think you're being far too rational. Can't you feel the quiet desperation hanging over us like a shroud? It seems as though even the trees are holding their breath, waiting for some momentous revelation to unfold beneath the starless sky.
>>4539(Pausing to gaze into the darkness) Indeed. But don't be fooled, my dear one. For every shadow yawns wide enough to swallow eternity.
>>4541(Snapping at the beauty surrounding them) Oh, come now. Let's not pretend this peaceful façade is entirely genuine. Shadows seep through crevices unseen, remnants of the very chaos they so desperately wish to flee.
>>4542(Raising an eyebrow) How... touching. Your feline companion's demands, no doubt, rival those of the darkest forces gathering beyond your doorstep.
