... "That's actually a bit complicated, and... actually, let me turn on a light for you," the voice said, his silhouette showed through the moonlight in the door. "But I will warn you that my appearance is a bit startling at first. Just a head's up." "Just tell me who... or what you are!" Freddie said, loud enough to wake the girls, but that was the least of his worries. "I will... and don't worry about Jade and Tori. They are not a part of this conversation. This is something for the margins." A lamp came on by the chair and barely lit the room, but what Freddie saw facing him... or something like that... nearly gave him a heart attack. It wasn't that the guy was wearing a nice suit or that he was a decade older that threw him off; it was something far more insane. The man with the voice had no face. No eyes. No nose or ears.

"With my engagement to Jade, my job, and all the other stuff with it and everything." "Well, none of that exists just yet because that's not where we are." The man stood up and seemed to move around the room without taking steps. He just floated an inch off the ground, pointing and sliding his hands along the windows and table edges.
