The image is not mine and I have no idea who it belongs to and it's irrelevant to this chapter.

Slenderman's POV
I noticed them both sitting down and that's when I just realized they must have gotten up so I ask........

Slenderman: where did you guys go. I say while not actually paying attention to their response.

Nightmare: I went to get a glass of water while Mei was considering grabbing— wait you're not even paying attention are you. He said while I needed to pretend I heard him.

Slenderman: uh huhhhh. I mumbled in the most convincing tone I could think of while he just did what sounded like a deep sigh and Mei remained  on the couch with me while Nightmare went up to his room.

Sorry that the chapter is shorter than usual but I hope everyone is doing alright.
