Red wasn't himself

Cooped up in his room right after a visit to Lavender Town. It wasn't normal, and even then Red's mother didn't know what got into him. It could've just been poison or just a normal temporary paralyzation but when she looked to check on him, he was healthy and quiet like he usually was; but the air it felt heavy...
It was almost hard to breathe. She went up to Red's room one day, and opened the window, and a ghastly scent went up to her nose. The smell of rotting decay, the burning flesh, and the muggy taste as though it came from the soil. She coughed heavily and closed the window, and the stench faded. Red suddenly came in, "MOM! DON'T COME INTO MY ROOM!" he yelled in a upset tone.

"Red, hun, what...what did you bring? I-it reeks it smells; you can't can't possibly live in this condition, can you?"

"It's just...it's just...Gh--" Red started and one of the pokeballs on his belt started to rattle, and he shoved her out of the room, "GET OUT! NOW!"

SLAM!

Red's mother was shaken. This wasn't her sweet little boy, not anymore, she thought. She had to help somehow. She shakily raised up her hand to knock, but then stopped when he heard Red talking.

"This isn't what we agreed on, d-don't you have enough souls you already cursed? You can kill anyone you think is in our way but you can't kill her! You can't have my mom!"

She shivered. She wanted to run, but she couldn't leave him. Leave him with that...thing he was talking to.
She stood by the door as the conversation on the other side gradually turned into a full out argument. The door made a thump like something was thrown against it, and she got more worried. She heard and felt things being shred and torn. It felt like forever until things went quiet. Red's mother swallowed as she knocked on the door, and it slowly opened.

Everything was normal. Nothing was thrown or torn. It was in place like it usually was, but Red was gone.
And the window was opened. The stillness in the room was eerie, it was like no one lived there to begin with.
She felt her heart grow heavy and she cried.
