[He has no idea what to make of this discrepancy. But that's a mystery for later. The uneasy comment has Dys' brows furrowing and he slows to a stop to listen. Sure enough, there's no sound of banging on a sealed door or chasing footsteps. That should be a comfort.
But it's not entirely quiet. Dys hears...something, and it's coming from the wrong direction.]

[It sounds like a voice. Maybe. It's low and has an odd quality to it, like gravel in one's mouth.]
