"Alan had heard the noise a few minutes ago, and thought nothing of it, but eventually his curiosity got the best of him. He trod down the hallway, following the music to Eric's bedroom. Though he knew it was impolite, he peeped in through the crack in the door, astonished to find the reaper dancing! Alan couldn't help smiling, and watched in curiosity.

Eric shook his head, “Nah. I’m a'righ’, I think.” He’d be sore, but it wouldn’t last too long. Nothing worth mentioning....
