"Oh. That's right. You have your phone. You have a crowd all around you. You have nothing to fear." Recording it had made such a difference last time, after all, had it not? It had let everyone see! The demon's true nature, the end of a hero, laid out for all of Wonderland. And how they had all rallied around Alex, right?

But, hey, they're here to play nice. Aren't they? "I'm not trying to be the scariest thing out there, you know. If you had gotten to know me before you tried to destroy me, you would find that I'm actually extremely ordinary."

Very ordinary. And then, just because they can, just because they know what happens, just because they've already seen it.

Three? Four? Six? A guess. Don't have to be perfectly accurate to be creepy.
