"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!"
The courtyard door rang with urgent knocks. Richard stepped out of his room and called out, "Who is it?"
As he asked, he approached the gate, but only the "knock knock knock" of the door could be heard, with no response.
Hmm?
Richard raised an eyebrow, walked closer, and heard a faint "wooo" sound coming from outside the door. First, he paused; then, a bad feeling arose.
Could it be?
Richard's eyes flickered as the "Eye of Gaze" activated, piercing through the courtyard door to see outside, where Alex stood with a lightbulb in his mouth, drool uncontrollably trailing down from the corners. His eyes, normally the size of green beans, were now wide as brass bells, and his facial expression was a mix of terror and grievance.
Well, it really was.
