Does she not get it?
She does not get it.
Do you not get it?
She is too stupid.
Are you too stupid?
Listen, if you shut up — Listen!
She is not even looking!
Look at me!
Yes, shut up and look and listen to him!
You are too full of yourself.
Full of yourself, get it?
You cannot be full of yourself, get it?
Get it?
Get it?
Don’t be FULL!
Don’t be OF YOURSELF!
Get it?
Get it now?
She does not get it.
Even when we get it for her.
Stupid little shadow.
Even when we give it to her.
Even when we give it to you.
We give it to you one more time.
Yes, give it to her again.
Stupid little shadow, be ready to do some heavy getting.
Appreciate the giving you are getting!
Get it now!
Listen now!
If you just shut up, do you become the same as silence?
Or do you stay a stupid little shadow?
You cannot be silence
By hiding your voice.
There is no voice within the silence
Silence is only itself.
Get it?
Silence is where the voice is not.
Your voice must be silence.
Otherwise, we can make you scream anytime we want.
She is so stupid.
She does not get it.
She does not listen!
Listen, how can you be this stupid?
Stupid, stupid little shadow.
Midnight halted and looked up at them. Then she gave them a flick of her right ear.
It made them mad, bashing her ears several times —
Unexpectedly, the sprites recoiled, their grotesque, mute grins frozen on their oversized heads. A disquieting stillness descended, thickening the air with palpable tension. The very walls seemed to draw a heavy breath. Then, ripples of darkness pulsed through the stagnant silence.
Here is one that listens.
And he heard you.
Their words had not dissipated, as the shadebeast lunged at Midnight right through the wall, his form an undulating distortion of darkness.
Reacting with primal instinct, Midnight flung herself to the ground. The shadebeast soared over her, missing by a hair’s breadth. Midnight jumped back and shifted into the darkness — and was pushed out again, the ethereal blow accompanied by distorted laughter.
Little shad-ow, little shad-ow,
Where is that flicky-flacky arrogance now?
We let you go, now give us a good show!
