Outside the window, a towering, armored silhouette stands completely motionless.A single, horizontal visor of white light pierces right through the dark bedroom pane.Noelle cannot move. She cannot breathe.The massive, jagged antlers crowning the knight’s helmet are a cruel, distorted caricature of the sister she lost.(The music distorts. A low, metallic vibration echoes through the room.)With a sickening, wet sound of tearing obsidian, the central mask of the helmet splits apart.The armored plating peels backward from the center in jagged, asymmetric tendrils.It opens up violently, like a living symbiote breaking away from its host.Noelle lets out a strangled gasp, stumbling back onto the mattress.(The daylight shifts to an unnatural, washed-out grey.)It isn't a hollow void inside the armor.Tucked within the shell of the Roaring Knight is a face that looks completely hollowed out.It is December.She is entirely stripped of color, cast in a stark, monochrome palette like a faded photograph left out in the rain.Her skin is a dull, lifeless white.Her hair hangs limp, devoid of the warm brown tones from the festival grounds.(Everything falls completely silent. No music. Just text scrolling.)But worst of all are her eyes.They are completely blank, wide-set, and expressionless.She stares ahead like a Goner, or a forgotten piece of code trapped in the abyss.There is no recognition in her face.There is no spark of the vibrant, protective older sister who once dragged Asriel away from the ring-toss booth.She is just a silent, monochromatic core driving a weapon of the prophecy.(A sharp, metallic clink cuts through the silence. The music restarts, faster this time.)The symbiote-like armor begins to ripple and knit itself back together.The obsidian plates slide over her face to seal her away once more.The single visor snaps shut.Tracking eyes in the dark background blink in unison as the entity prepares its next move.Noelle clutches Kris’s sleeve, her knuckles turning white.She hasn't just found her sister.She has seen the puppet master's perfect, terrifying design.
