His stomach rolled, and he pitched again through the dark as if to vomit, but he only gasped uselessly as the fit took hold of him. This happened one more time before there was nothing left inside of him, and at that point there came the sound of thunder behind him; he felt it in the rock, and knew it was the beast.

Despite feeling as though his body was trying to contort him inside-out, Mou forced himself to his feet and he scrambled to find a hiding place. He fell along rather than ran, and finally stopped and held his breath when he thought he was safely placed along a small shoulder of stone within the cave.

The voice came to him. He thought he could taste the foulness of the beast in the air as he slowly stifled an inhalation, afraid to even breathe, and his heart began to pound again with barely contained terror. It took a few moments before Mou realized what was being asked of him — but even so, he couldn't answer if he'd wanted to.

His name was a sound that even he could not utter. But dare he try, and the beast would be upon him. He tried to shuffle along like a commando behind enemy lines — and as he went, he heard the rushing sound of water behind the wall next to himself. It was a sussuration like the rain, a whisper.

The boy was delirious — but he called out with the hope that it would echo, that he would stay hidden: Sssi-th-isss.

Not his name, but a plea for help — he saw Maegi in his mind's eye, just a flash of what he had given up, then he grit his teeth and fell silent.
