 *The next victim is a young boy. He's also sick, but seems a little better then Kira. He's out tending to the chickens when Darnell approaches. The boy looks drained, but pushing through what needs to be done.*

Darnell: Hello. My name is Darnell. I'm a detective investigating a shadow man that's been attacking people. Maybe you can help me?

Boy: *eyes /widen/* ...You...you'll stop him?

Darnell: I've been sent here to do my very best. Will you give me a few minutes to sit and talk with me?

Boy: *face flushes* ...I-I don't want to talk about it.

Darnell: *frowns* I know that he's been doing very inappropriate things with at least one little girl in town. I'd guess he's doing the same with you?

Boy: *the looks he gives Darnell will say that it is the case, even if the boy can't bring himself to admit it.*

Darnell: …………*nods in understanding* Will you tell me about the shadow man? When does he come to you? And what started it? If anything that you can think of.

Boy: ...He... he comes at night sometimes. He...stands over me. Everything smells funny when he's there.

Darnell: What's the funny smell? Can you describe it? Also, is he solid or see-through?

Boy: I dunno...it just smells...really sweet I guess? *he seems to consider.* Sometimes he looks solid, sometimes he's not.

Darnell: *nods* When did he start visiting you? Did something happen that triggered it, or did he just start appearing to you for no reason that you know of?

Boy: I dunno...six months ago?  I don’t think anything triggered it, he just...showed up one night.
