Wow, that's a particularly crude name to be throwing about. And how very, very incorrect. Sympathetic humans are rare, but it just means they've already been corrupted. Everything said is immediately twist, incorrect, wrong.

"If that's your world, then perhaps you should be removed with it."

It's the same voice, but the tone is completely different. A brittle frozen caricature of life, an unfathomable monster now standing on the opposite side of Stiles' sad closet door. Such a brittle defense it is. It should be no difficulty at all to just fix another problem here before anyone notices-

Wait, no. That's not right. He's just a dumb kid. There's no reason to hurt him. But he's the wrong one here, so very wrong, trying to corrupt other thoughts with his own sinful mindset. Nothing about your logic is faulty here, so just dispose of it. He sounds logical, but he's not, but the incessant ringing will help to ignore the discrepancy. No, even better, just forget it. So easily sweeping away such irrelevant concerns to us, just like

And right around the end of Stiles' short speech is when that weird presence seems to flicker and die off. Inhale, exhale, no errors in the system, resume. Were there errors in the first place? Why is he in front of a closet? Why is he being threatened with Mr. Rodgers by some dude in a closet? Why is there some dude in a closet?

Wait, no, forget that last part, the being threatened with feel-good musicals is the heresy here.

And the tone is back to the acceptable deadpan, like nothing ever even happened. Because it didn't. "Please don't."
