[All is silent.

It feels rather eerie to be in this room. Is it connected to a house? Is it a classroom in a school? Was it the parlor back in the Meta-World? She couldn't tell for sure; it was empty. The floor is neatly patterned as if it was a chessboard, but the walls...

The walls are decorated with lips and the occasional eye. Mammon stares at the wall, curious to see if it would stare back. It didn't and she feels slightly relieved.

But as soon as she turned around, a marble sculpture was placed quite a distance away from her, but she could tell that it is a statue. Of who... she didn't exactly know. Then she heard the something crack, a line forming in its body, but the noise resonated loud and clear throughout the room despite its distance. The cracking noise slowly multiplies and becomes louder and louder until--]

Worthless furniture.

[The marble sculpture, having many little cracks before, was suddenly demolished and pieces of it remained on the floor. The lips on the walls slowly began to part and started to curl into a

/pats... ;u;

[wantnotneed]

Did you know, Kaito?

[And another crack appears on her face.]

Words are pretty powerful back in my world. You could even kill somebody with them. So they're not as dumb as you might think. At least not here.

[bakaitoukid]

. . .

[and suddenly, idea]

What about words that acknowledge your existence?

[wantnotneed]

--!

[Mammon is left speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. Even though she shouldn't be surprised at this concept, she stares at Kaito, wondering if he would be willing... to even do that.]

... Maybe.

[bakaitoukid]

[she's weird and violent, but he's not cruel enough to just let her die...]

Then if I say something like... [a beat; he doesn't quite know how to work this, but he'll give it a shot]

I know you're aren't a delusion. You can think, feel, breathe, live-- just like everyone else in Johto.

[wantnotneed]

[The mouths keep yammering but they have quieted down a bit. However, they're still talking. Mammon is quite surprised by the difference it made by Kaito's validation. It's not like she'll be urging him on, afraid that the mouths will retaliate, so she doesn't say anything anymore.]

[bakaitoukid]

... [he pauses for a moment, glancing around at the creepy mouths on the wall, before looking back at Mammon]

I think anyone who can't realize that is pretty dumb.

[wantnotneed]

It just... worked differently in my world! [Though to be honest, she was a bit too freaked out by the walls to actually... think.]

[bakaitoukid]

Battler-san told me a little bit about how your world worked.

[shakes his head] I didn't realize that words were that powerful.

[wantnotneed]

He... did? [She didn't think anybody would believe that, but...]

Well, they are.

[bakaitoukid]

[.. a nod] Just a little bit.

I know that now.

[wantnotneed]

[There goes another crack. The mouths on the walls aren't completely gone and they're only beginning to be louder, to regain their power over verbal abuse.]

[bakaitoukid]

[... cursing]

Would you just shut up? She's right here, geez!

[wantnotneed]

[There's a closet behind you, Kaito. The doors look as if they're a set of jaws... with nails as its teeth. Chomp... Chomp... Chomp...]

Get out of the way!!

[bakaitoukid]

[glancing behind him as she cries out, yelping and using his thief skills to dart out of the way just in time]

-- hey!

[wantnotneed]

[6 other stakes appear behind Mammon in the air and they shoot themselves towards the closet, nailing it in different areas, but it doesn't budge completely.]
