Run back to your parents and tell them about the figure
From Create Your Own Story
You run back to your parents, and tell them about the figure. Your dad says, "Don't be afraid, it's probably just a shadow." You glare at him. "I mean that I thought the figure might be Alex." "It can't be Alex!" Your mom says. "Alex is right here." They show you a grinning Alex, looking as triumphant as ever.
