She held their hand the whole way back to the theater, though neither of them exchanged words. Even so, sometimes Lily could feel the slow tendrils of confusion and ache like they were wisps of the passing fog, and each time she would look over at her faceless charge she noticed they glowed less and less. Once, when they were crossing the street, she thought she could hear the murmur of 'I am scared', but when she turned to respond the faceless went silent.
Under the light of the theater marquee, the faceless only had two stars left on its cheeks, and one by one they fell away, like raindrops. Thank you for your assistance, they responded, and for the first time Lily heard the chorus of many voices as one, shuddering softly as they let go of her hand. The faceless reached for the door of the theater in their stilted, clunky way, then froze in place as the door pulled outward, as if they'd always been plastic.
"See you, starchild," Lily frowned, trying to swallow a sudden sense of loss. With a nod towards the faceless she'd guided home, she walked through the door, making her way towards the office.

"Trueee," Lily hummed with a nod in response to 'time is meaningless', trying her best to chase away the nervous flutters in her stomach. The Faceless meant her no harm. She'd just done them a favor and brought back one of their own. To act sketched out just because they had no faces and moved like living mannequins was spook-shaming, and she was above that.
"They were...really bummed out," she said after a moment of consideration, glancing back the way she entered as if she expected them to be in the doorway. "They wanted to read a book, but the book was empty, so they were really sad about it because they just wanted to go home." Lily still felt the sense of wistful loss gnawing at her, and she gently squeezed the hand she held for a sense of community.
"It doesn't hurt to rejoin or whatever, does it?" Lily's voice was small, unsure. "Like, they're not in trouble, right?"

"That's...actually cool as hell," Lily responded, a soft reverence in her voice. She couldn't stop herself from being a little unnerved by their stilted movements, the hint of features beyond her perception, but she had to at least appreciate what they sought to accomplish.
She had a thought, and looked up at the twins with a sense of purpose. "The moonwalkers were supposed to help enforce the line between this world and the normal one. Did you guys ever...help each other out?" It was kind of a moot question, given that she, a moonwalker, was currently helping the Faceless, but she wouldn't give up an opportunity to try and learn about her own purpose or find her way.
