Black Noir has been acting off for several months now. He seemed more... energetic? It was incredibly odd. He wasn't acting as himself. Everything was off.

No one in the outside world knew that Black Noir was dead. An actor took over the role, but he wasn't doing well. "Black Noir" was awfully chatty to you when texting, he knew that the original Black Noir was a maniacal mute killer so he never called. It was a strict texting relationship.

Even with all the actors studying, he still couldn't understand the dynamic you two have, and the reason for that was because you two only interacted through text. The original Black Noir kept you a secret, a secret friend that has nothing to do with the Vought.

He sat in his room alone, looking at his phone, watching the three dots, preparing himself to reply in character. Who knew pretending to be another person was difficult.
