He hears her land with a thud and somehow he thinks he might not be
dreaming after all. Head tilting a bit, looking out the opened window, he
doesn't go to check at the window. Instead, he turns to head downstairs,
knife still clutched in his hand. He passes the photograph then and notices
that it's different now. That she's in it. That they're both having a
weird, artificial smile when people ask you to smile to take a photo, but
not the kind of smile he would have produced at gunpoint. Which of course
is strange since he doesn't smile.
Padding down the stairs quietly, still trying to make sense of it all, he
has to leave his knife on the counter next to the door where he normally
puts the keys to grab and turn the doorknob. Pushing the door open, he
takes two steps outside but lingers in the doorway instead of approaching
her. Scowl firmly affixed, glaring, but looking like he's all bark and not
much bite for the moment.
"Who the hell are you." And what is she doing in that photograph, with him,
in his fake house, with those fake clothes?

Oh.
