Chapter 10: Skulduggery Pleasant
In one of the brief moments where the two Universes overlapped, he sees the gathered crowd. He sees Ghastly and hears his speech. He sees the people he miss him. Then the air shimmers. "No! he yells.
All I want is you back, it's all I want.
He hears her thoughts echo round their empty Universe. The crowd begins to fade. "No!" he yells again, grabbing at the rapidly fading scene. He feels their shadowy hands grab his ankles and pull him away. "Let me go back, just let me go back, please let me go back, please just-" He is cut off as he begins to scream and is pulled away from the fading crowd, which are all beginning to go their separate ways. They didn't know that Skulduggery knew they had gathered and remembered. They didn't know he was grateful. They didn't know he would one day come back. All that hurt far more than any pain the Faceless Ones could inflict.
