The moment Kyle heard Seth's voice, he almost instinctively reacted, his foot pressing forward and his mouth opening to shout.
However, right before he moved, Zoey moved forward and grasped his shoulder.
".....!"
Kyle's head snapped to look at her, and that was when he saw the faces of the others present, suddenly reminding him of the situation.
He hurriedly closed his mouth, his heart pressing against his chest.
'That...'
He had almost shouted.
Kyle tried to swallow, but his throat was too dry, the motion making him wince.
Slowly turning his head, he once again stared at the wide-eyed Seth. With his mouth covered, Kyle couldn't see whether it was the Twisted Man speaking or Seth.
For a moment...
He had almost fallen for the trap, if it even was a trap.
He didn't know at all, which was the creepiest part. Seth's voice sounded exactly the same, and at the same time, he struggled to understand how he had managed to pick up Seth's voice.
