Tommy doesn't hear the sound but feels it from a great distance while standing out in the cold air of the Nexus winter. Maybe it was his precognition or the fact that these feelings were still raw in his own family, either way the sense of pain and anger that comes from loss felt oppressive even at a distance.

It did bring images with it when he thought, of a woman with spots down the sides of her face and the unmistakable ridged face if the man he had met only recently. He turned back into the house and sat heavily on the chair.

The images wouldn't stop and the pain wouldn't go. Closing his eyes he used the threads of pain to find the man in the Nexus. Tommy's apparition appearing in the room through his ability to astral project. To the man before him it would appear as if Tommy simply walked into the room but he couldn't be touched.

"Why do you wail in pain?" He asks but the empty feeling in the pit of his stomach already has the answer.
