Video/Action for Violet City

[neededlassie]

[Shaun looks pale and trembling, and his eyes are wide and scared. He looks - and sounds, when he finally speaks - like he's been crying. All he can manage are four short words, before his voice cracks and it's all he can do not to break down.]

Norman won't wake up.

[She's quite honestly surprised by Shaun's reaction. Blake is so friendly and nice! Well, grumpy, but also still pretty friendly! So for him to look so... scared, is just leaving her very curious. Nervous too, but still curious.]

Why not?

[neededlassie]

Because he'll hurt Norman!

[There's an adamant tone to the boy's voice - the unwavering resolve of a kid passing judgment, who believes he'll know how a situation will end.

It's also the tone of a boy near-panicking, and his fingers tighten in the plush doll he's holding.]

[Emily's eyebrows furrow in confusion, before it's replaced with a skeptical look.]

No he won't! He's a good person, don't be silly, Shaun.

[neededlassie]

He's not good! He killed my dad!

[Oh dear now he's panicking. And if there was any more proof needed that Norman wasn't just sleeping, the fact that he's sleeping through Shaun yelling is pretty clear proof.]

And if we call him, he'll hurt Norman, too!
