it's probably something that shouldn't be said out loud

October 9 feels like a normal day at first, save for the red lighthouse beam cutting through the darkness overhead. You know by now—or you've heard—that the lighthouse is only active during ferry arrivals and events... And there's definitely no ferry docked at the, er. Beach. The town is quiet, the forest spirits behave business-as-usual, Rastus doesn't know what's up. Whatever's going on, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

And you will, though the hallucinations are subtle at first: objects moving when they shouldn't, people's proportions looking just a bit off, voices in an empty room, and so on. Is it just your mind playing tricks in the darkness? Might be! Will did warn you all about the effects of living without a sun and a proper day/night cycle.

As the days go on, the hallucinations are harder to ignore, no matter how much you may wish to wave them off as flukes. What's wrong with everyone's faces? When did all the howling start? Who do you hold onto when the world drops out from under you? And those hands...

While you might know it can't be real, it certainly feels real. But at least it can't last forever!

...Right?

[ How fortunate Luna is, that someone is around to snap her back into the world of reality. As soon as Elizabeth's hand touches her arm, Luna's eyes widen, and the hallucination of her brother fades. She gasps as she's willingly tugged back, having to blink a few times to clear the haze away. ]

Goodness... I am so sorry, I thought I saw something...

[ Elizabeth gives a quiet, slightly strained smile. ]

A hazard lately, I'm afraid... you don't have anything to apologize for.

[ a careful pause ]

It must have been something important to you, to go after it so strongly?
