... Oh.

[ It's not a defeated oh. Not an excited one, either. More an accepting "oh" of "oh so this is the new normal" and "oh then I need to get used to it." Oh.

Chihiro turns to look back where he's calling, catching sight of a face moving in the portrait to their side. It's enough to be startled, and in reaction, she takes two steps further, squinting at the portrait behind them.

Looking forward, she spies another frame hanging in this part of the hall, but it's the first frame that starts serenading them as they walk.

Twinkle, twinkle, little man,
How I wonder at your plan.
Murderer so fair to see
Walking down the hall past me
Twinkle, twinkle, little lass,
Running might your life make last.


[ Chihiro frowns, pressing her lips into a thin line before continuing right along as if the portrait hadn't started singing nonsense rhymes at them. ]

So this happens once a month? We're all in places like this, or, um... it's different than where I first was. Is this what we're supposed to help fix?
