Uh… Yep, I met him a couple times… [ Mono’s nose scrunched a bit. ] I kinda got a connection to him, I guess. But he’s not here, just me! And I stopped him the last time I met him, and I’ll keep stopping him, I think.

[ Until something broke the cycle, if anything could… The boy refused to be too optimistic on that front. ]

That’s not good. If no one knows how to stop it, that’s even scarier! Kinda sounds like there’s a lot of scary stuff where you’re from, too.

But maybe there’s a way no one’s figured out yet...?
