[Once in the woods, Eustace cups his hands to his mouth and calls out the name, hoping they would appear. But Vitty always had a habit of hiding and not always appearing quickly, especially if he's out playing on his own. But Eustace continues to glance back where he had come from, that weird ominous feeling rising up the back of his neck. This somehow feels familiar...but different at the same time. As if he has some kind of premonition that something will happen but he doesn't know what. Thinking of Tifa, he wants to hurry and find Vitty and warn him to not come to town, to stay as far away as possible.
But why? Why does he feel this way?
And despite his desperate searching in the various known hiding places, he can't find Vitty.]
Vitty! Is he not here...? [Maybe it's for the best and belatedly he realizes that him calling might bring his friend closer, which is exactly what he doesn't want. With that in mind he shouts into the forest for Vitty to not come near town and to stay in the woods, hoping his voice is heard.
And then he rushes back to town. As he does, he has to suddenly blink and cover his right eye as a wave of heat washes over him—but when he opens his eye, nothing has changed. Whatever he felt just then seemed to be more of an hallucination...but it just makes that dark foreboding feeling sink further. Picking up the pace, he rushes towards his house only to find his family gone. He panics, wondering what happened when he hears the talk and laughter by the manor. He stares at the place, confused as he can't seem to place it, but he runs over there, anyway. In the crowds he catches a glimpse of his family, which relieves him a bit, but the trepidation remains as he finds Tifa.
Quickly he shoves his way through and is at her side, eying the two men warily.]
...Who are they?
[The friendly looking one he doesn't feel too bothered, but the other...he's not sure, but he seems off. Dangerous. Subconsciously his hand reaches out to take Tifa's, as if to try to pull her away closer to his side.]
