♞.   The emptiness of the island developed an eerie atmosphere which seemed like eons since the first time he had felt the same feeling. The silence was piercing, almost screeching for mercy -- wanting to be enveloped in noises, though this wish cannot be granted as there were no signs of life at this time. The occasional mysterious sounds that echoed in the distance, the origin of the noise being unknown. He didn't expect to see another trudging down the empty pathway though as it seems the other had an appearance of a young girl. A lady with so much life ahead of her, one would envy the youth of the other. 

He was merely a few meters away until he required to encounter the female, as the other seemed to be using the same path for some odd reason. The older male wanted to avoid eye contact with the woman at all costs as his eyes may hint of intimidation and troublesome. His strides slow and meaningful, each second feeling like minutes, each minute feeling like hours, each hour feeling like years. It felt as if time had froze at the very moment, a distasteful thought.

Step by step, he inched closer until they were close enough to have contact with. His head inclined slightly to avoid the eye contact, perhaps the other won't notice this sudden motion of his. Erwin didn't prefer to have a conversation at this time of day as it didn't seem logical -- it was dark, silent, gloomy -- anything could happen at this point.
