I Will Follow You Into the Dark Page #2

the fear of height...

Has something to do

with a lack of control.

What about your personal life?

You getting out

there a little bit?

It's a little slow.

Sophia, I see girls your age

coming here all the time...

And they all have this...

Spark of hope in their eyes.

They've got the whole world

laid down in front of them.

That's in there, somewhere.

Do you feel alone?

I am alone.

But that's okay,

that's just how it is.

Doesn't have to be.

I think maybe it does right now.

Why?

Because how can I possibly

lose someone else?

You know? It's like...

I'm not physically

built to endure it.

You know? I give up another

piece of me and I lose it...

So this is it, and

I'm okay with that.

Are you?

Yes.

Oh my God!

I am so sorry. Are you alright?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Is there like a bruise

or a cut or something?

No, it's okay.

Here, let me help you up.

I'm so sorry.

I... I run sometimes.

To get there quicker. I scared

the crap out of you, didn't I?

No.

Yeah, you scared me half to death.

Yeah, I...

Don't know how I could miss you.

I'm Adam Hunts, by the way.

Sophia Monet.

- Like the painter?

- Yeah, exactly like him.

Do you paint?

No, I'm a photographer.

Well, Miss Monet, I totally get being

startled in the dark. It happens.

It might have been the creeper running

through the darkness that did it.

Yeah. Yeah, it might have.

What's wrong?

Oh no, nothing.

Are you sure?

It doesn't look like nothing.

Yeah, it's okay. I just...

I keep seeing these

blank of spots.

Are you serious?

Here, wait just look at me.

Look at my eyes.

How's your balance?

Are you messing with me?

- Come on.

- You deserved it.

- I was about to call an ambulance.

- Come on.

- You were about to faint.

- You look a lot meaner than you look.

You shouldn't tackle helpless

woman on the street.

I guess not.

It was valiant of you though.

Try to cure my blindness.

Can I walk you and make sure

you get where you're going?

I mean, I did save your eyesight.

Kind of a hero... If you want

to get technical about it.

Okay.

But I need you to maintain

a 3 foot perimeter.

- Okay. That's fair.

- Okay.

I can do that.

Safety zone right here.

- Wow, you really coming out of the corner.

- I hurt you, didn't I?

I run fast.

So, this is my building up here.

- Wow.

- Yes, very impressive.

That would be the little tour

group that's always there.

For what?

It's one of the city's oldest

building. It's like...

A spooky haunted thing.

That's comforting.

I guess it's kind of big

with the paranormal crowd.

You think they tell you something

like that, before you moved in.

I wouldn't.

Well, not that I...
