[Phantom can feel the emotional shift when it hits. Anger that isn't his washes through him, but for once, he feels no particular inclination to match it with his own. He's burned through all of that, and beneath it, there's simply nothing.
If the anger gives him any spark at all, it's for the single wish that this would be quicker. He no longer cares whether he deserves that or not. He's had enough of every bit of this farce: the connection with Marcus that's now his alone and means less than nothing; a life after death in a place just as hopeless as the one he left behind; the sense of struggling with nothing, for nothing. He watches the look of shock play across Marcus's face with eyes barely open and scrapes together enough energy for just one word.]
