NoirLex & Ethereal
Ethereal
I've been thinking about how silence can become a character in a story, especially when the night whispers its own secrets.
NoirLex
Silence? It’s the real gumshoe, always lurking in the shadows, waiting for a clue to break. The night whispers, and the quiet keeps the secrets safe until someone’s eyes finally notice. It's a character you can feel, not read about.
Ethereal
Yes, the quiet keeps the most stories, and it’s up to us to hear what it wants to share.
NoirLex
Yeah, the quiet’s a stubborn informant—never spills the beans, but it always knows what’s being kept. If you listen long enough, it’ll lay out the whole truth.
Ethereal
I hear that truth, patiently waiting, like a quiet river revealing its path only when you walk beside it.
NoirLex
A quiet river does not shout, it just keeps its current hidden until you follow it, letting the truth surface at the edges of your own shadow.
Ethereal
I follow the current, feeling its pull, and the truth rises gently along the ripples of my own shadow.
