"No one is that clumsy around here" Horatio replied, "not in this house and especially not in my room. Besides, I had already walked across the floor several times and I was alone when it had happened." the appearance of the notebook was a certain mystery, as though somehow it had been trapped in the black and white world as apposed to the colour-filled one.

Perhaps there were others would could wander that world? But what would they have been doing in his room? If they were aware of him then why never reveal themselves? The questions he had for them were numerous and outstanding and it was infuriating to think that someone could be watching afar and letting him figure it out by himself. He couldn't think of another thing he could do to work out this problem!

"You have impeccable intuition in that case" he sighed, trying to not be angered by his own thoughts, "albeit a misguided sense of curiosity. I'm more dangerous than you might think" he strayed to a clock that rested on the night table, next to the bed and ran his fingers along the specialized time piece, "there was one other whom I accidentally brought into that world with me. Some time ago, before even the notebook became present. They were... left behind." he swallowed as a pit in his stomach churned, "I've looked for them since but I think that they are long gone now. Every frozen moment is different from the next, and I can't go back to the moment where they were left behind." he paused, "I suppose they would be dead by now."

he turned away, his fingers slipping off the clock, "The party has begun. I should have been downstairs ten minutes ago. Evidently we skipped a little forward when we came back this time. There is an empty room down the hall if you need to get changed" he strode over his closet whilst loosened the collar of his shirt.
