"Red?"
That was weird. Green knew his best friend was silent, but never this bad.
"Oi. Talk to me you fucker."
Green walked over to whack the boy upside his head, but was surprised to find that his head rolled off his shoulder.
What Green let out was not a shriek, definitely not. He was more dignified than that.
He stopped when he saw a note fall off from inside "Red's" head. Hesitantly he picked it up and read the contents.
"Out training. Go ahead and talk to the doll, it'd be just like I never left."
