He hears that voice-- I'm disappointed-- and suddenly he can't look away from the mask. That gathering power in the circle underneath him sputters out in a moment as his limbs lock in place. The figure draws closer, not as though it's walking but evenly, steadily, unnaturally moving forward until all he sees is the distorted reflection of his glasses and eyes in the mask.
