A considered but dropped outcome
Ideas flood in but mun has no idea what to do with any of them
I think this was idea H
I don't know
(Implied/actual character death)
(Lots of dialogue)
Ehh??
Again, I don't know
He groaned, turning over to cover his ears with his pillow while reaching over to his desk and unplugging the charger before bringing the cursed device closer to read the caller ID
**
It was 2:47 in the morning when Ethan woke up to disastrous sound that he chose for a ringtone.
Syrus
You'd think someone who was such a stickler for time would call at a reasonable hour but then again, the red head never called much in the first place unless it was that important
The teen kicked the blanket aside and sat up moment before he slid the answer button and held the phone to his ear
"Hello..?"
The audio crackled. Unstable connection? Must be
"-han? Hello"
"Hi, what happened to you at," he squints to the clock on the wall, "2... in the morning..?"
"Mm- -ust had a thoug-"
The other cutting out was odd. Shouldn't he be in bed at this time?
"Really? What kind of thought? A thought to maybe warn us of a scheduled family event?"
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the line before choppy laughter emitted from the speaker
"-'m sorry, I didn't realize tha- -t'd still be a problem"
"You left without saying a word and it's almost been two weeks, of course it'd be a problem" Ethan sighed and looked behind him
Exbo was sleeping soundly, that was good
He reached a hand back to softly pat at the cyndaquil
"I'll be- -turning soon if- it- it make you feel better"
"You better... Krystal won't get off my case otherwise... but really, did something happen? You never call, let alone message"
"... No I- -ust wanted to call. It's been a har- -ard day"
"What? The work-a-holic Syrus had a hard day? I'm not buying it"
"-don't think I'm making a sales offe-"
"Shush your face, you know what i mea-"
Ethan cut himself off with a yawn and shook his head
"I'm keeping yo- -up. I'll take my leave now-"
"No no, it's fine! 'm just waking up, that's all"
Another moment of silence passes
Ethan lowers the phone to see the screen
The call was ended
He sighs and tries calling back, pressing the device to his ear again
...
...
...
Sorry. The person you're trying to call does not-
He hangs up before the automated voice finishes whatever statement it had about not having an inbox set up and sends a text
Me (2:54am): Did the line go dead?
He watched the screen for a while before laying back down with the phone in hand
All he can do is hope that the other calls back soon...
--
Syrus sent his phone through a full factory reset before removing the SD and battery from the device, listening to it's screen shatter against the brick wall in front of him.
He let out a shakey sigh as he held the two pieces his hand and tried to maintain the pressure on his side
A part of him hopes that he didn't leave a trail for them to find but hope would only get him so far and this was probably as far as he'll get
He was lucky to get himself out of that tight spot but with the state he's currently in, there wasn't must more he could be from here.
The wound in his leg would prevent him from advancing any further, he's lost vision in his right eye, and the wound on his side would probably be it
"I'll be returning.. soon..."
He repeated from his mostly one side conversation with Ethan
... that may be true... if anyone finds him that is
And if it does become true, it won't be the way they would like him to...
Syrus tilted his head back and pressed it against the wall
It was only a matter of time now...
The phone shattering would've at least signaled someone that he was sitting in this alley
He just sat there with nothing else but the suffocating silence
Nothing to do now but think...
...
They've been out of school for... 6 months now?
Ethan and Krystal wanted to drag the rest of the club members out to an arcade or ice rink on the weekend, just days before he disappeared
They made plans for a Christmas party that also worked for his birthday
Birthday... right his birthday was coming up, wasn't it?
It was never such a big deal until those two found out
Syrus couldn't help but smile to himself, the pressure on his side easing up
His own birthday never meant much to him but he made sure to at least do something for the other club members
Wheather it be a card, something he tried making at the cafe the night before or just allowing them to make any reasonable request of him
It was... nice to see them enjoy a day to call their own even though, realistically, it wasn't like that in the slightest
He held the SD card a bit tighter as he looked to the broken device just feet away from him
Dark splotches were clouding his vision and he was feeling more tired than he was before
He can only hold on for so long
Just a moment more
Just a day
An hour
A minute
A single second
...
He hopes that he sent Krystal those photos
