[--It's an unfortunate coincidence.

Before he has time to rationalize it, he's trying to slam the connection closed, pull out of the melody, anything--a kind of struggle he's never put forth before.

And if she's paying attention through the link, she's getting flashes of some extremely unpleasant things that he's only alluded to very vaguely and in passing. Here, details aren't omitted.]

[No. No they aren't. And right now, he is the only thing she's paying attention to, his mental struggles cutting into their shared chords like the screech of nails across a blackboard.

One name comes clear, clear enough that her lips shape it even as the song continues.

Pandemonium?

And with that, with the echo of all that name means, her aura cuts out, and she yanks him all the way forward into the infinite scale.]
