Siffrin is of the Lonely.

This is the fear of isolation, of being completely cut off from other people. This is the fear that preys on lone travelers. This is the fear that once trapped an actor in an endless performance, unable to perceive people as anything other than masked audience members and hollow performers. This is the fear that manifested during the apocalypse as a massive empty house that slowly feeds on your memories, making you forget your friends, family and identity until you are left an empty shell, completely alone.

As a rule, the fears are nigh-inescapable. But the Lonely stands apart even from the other entities, because it is actually impossible to escape it on your own. You must remember the people who care about you, even as memory fades and they seem years away. You must cry out for help, or reach out for a lifeline thrown by someone else, even if it feels like dying. Someone who cares about you must come looking for you, and they must not turn back, even if the Lonely tries to drag them in too.

The Lonely is the fear of being abandoned. What could frighten Siffrin more?
