[The too taut violin string isn't just a constant tone now, turning into rapid, chaotic playing, something fundamentally unsettling about the too high tone and musicless playing. The sound is off, as if the strings were be played with razor blades rather than a bow. Gordon pauses at that description, looking back Waver at the new information. Looking back, he misses what causes the anguished cry of the Squirtle as the door opens, followed in quick succession by his other Pokémon. Jim turns to look through the door, his face immediately falling at the lifeless bodies within, red hair and redder blood pooling beneath them.]

[The tension is let loose all at once as the razor blade cuts through. Jim charges through the door, all knowledge of the illusion of it falling away as an animal panic overtakes him, the pokémon quick on his heels. The man drops to his knees by the bodies of his wife and children, tears in his eyes.]

[The new voice is unlike any previously, seeming less like a human voice and chaos in spoken form, cracked and frayed.]
