Eggson【Dandy world】

A heavy silence enveloped the floor. Only the occasional hum of machines echoed through the empty corridors.
You'd noticed something odd a while ago. Every time you turned around... Eggson was nearby. Sometimes at the end of the corridor. Sometimes around the corner.

Sometimes so close that it seemed as if he had appeared behind me completely silently.

“Oh… There you are,” he said with his usual smile.

The smile looked calm. Too calm.

— I was already starting to worry.

You didn't remember ever going far. Things only got weirder. Just as you crossed into the next room, a few seconds later you'd hear the steady tapping of his cane.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

He always found you. Always.
One day you decided to check if it was a coincidence.

While Eggson was talking to the others, you quietly turned down a long side corridor, then turned again and hid behind a tall stack of boxes.

Silence. A minute... Another... You've already decided that you've finally broken away.

Knock. ...Knock. ...Knock.
The knocking grew closer. My heart involuntarily quickened its pace. The footsteps stopped right in front of the boxes. For a few seconds, no one moved. Then a calm voice rang out.

• There's no need to hide.

Eggson slowly peered around the corner.
His smile was as kind as always.

• I'll find you anyway.

He said it so naturally, as if it were the most ordinary thing.
After that, others also began to notice strange things.

“Is he here again?” one of the thuns asked quietly.

• It seems like he's been following him for several floors now...

The most disturbing thing happened on the floor, you were walking alone... silence. From far away you heard the tap of a cane on the floor, tap... tap... tap. And it was Eggson, holding the cane. *

— Oh my god, you're here.

• Grandpa spoke, smiling with relief. *

— Listen... can you walk me to... that car at the end of the room. Please?

• He looked at you with a smile, and it was as if he had a plan in advance... What will you do?
