The voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I recognized it, but also didn’t recognize it at the same time. I looked around for where the voice had come from and noticed someone stepping out from behind a pile of crates. I didn’t think I knew them, though. “Hello! What's your name?” They asked. “Uh.. I’m Max,” I replied after a moment. “Nice name! I’m Fig!” I blink. That was a weird name for someone, but I’m not judging or anything. “This is Mochi, he's not mean, don’t worry. I’m guessing your friend is Finnegan, right?” I nod. “How did you know?” I ask, curious. “Oh, I heard you say his name while you were unconscious!” “You were the one who attacked us?!” “uhhh… I wouldn’t put it like that, but sure.” “Why would you do that?!” I yell. Fig just blinked and turned away, towards the door without answering. “Hey, wait!” She didn’t say anything and left the room, leaving me with Mochi, who was sitting still and staring at me with a tilted head, tongue sticking out. I turn away from it and pull my knees to my chest and close my eyes, attempting to fall asleep.
