PostPost subject: Ghost--A Perspective on Tobias Reply with quote

(I'm not quite sure why, but I was randomly compelled to write about Tobias through the eyes of one of Nisha's servants--to just kind of play around with how others would possibly perceive my servant-boy. So, random idea + unable to get to sleep = this short little piece of work~)

Ghost

I swear, the man is a ghost.

Every servant in this mansion is afraid of Tobias for some reason or another. White hair, pale skin, vacant eyes—I only see a dead soul when I look into those eyes.

It’s quite natural to fear what you do not understand, is it not? That is why no servant is comfortable near Tobias. We know nothing about him—not even his race. He is obviously Master Nisha’s favorite because of his unwavering loyalty, but why is he like that to begin with?

We work for Master Nisha to survive. Many of us simply need money for ourselves and for our families. Some simply work for Master Nisha’s dreams—but that is still work in exchange for something. That is the separation between Tobias and everyone else. He has no reason to act like Master Nisha’s loyal lap dog—he just does. Some toss around the idea of him and Master Nisha being lovers, and that she pays him in…such a way, but I highly doubt such a thing. No man with those dead eyes could care for passion.

Yes, I honestly believe Tobias is a ghost. Other servants may laugh at the notion, but no one can deny the way he aimlessly wanders through the halls at night—just as an apparition would. Everybody has their theories on Tobias—and that is mine. I mean, how is it possible for a living being to behave in such a way? How is it that he has no desires? No sense of loneliness? No aspirations? It’s unnatural. Anybody who is alive feels these things—whether they admit to it or not. I’m convinced Tobias feels nothing—only an unwarranted loyalty to our Master Nisha. Even if he lost his memories, shouldn’t he have some sense of self? Shouldn’t at least some semblance of personality remain intact?

Tobias has no personality. He has nothing. It’s sad, honestly. I can’t help but wonder if there really are some memories locked up inside him—or if he truly is just empty. Since he seems to desire nothing, he probably will never attempt to regain his memories—if they are even there to begin with.

He turns around the corner on the chilly night, and I avert my gaze as he seems to glide past. To have lost your memories—your sense of identity—is truly sad and for that I pity Tobias. However, I simply cannot look into the eyes of a dead man.

Tobias, are you still alive? Have you ever been truly alive?
