Y/N had well already bolted from the gate, running up the hill, the cold air poking at their lungs,

Tears streaming down their cheeks.

How fast could a four-year-old possibly run?

Y/N looked up to see Ray waiting at the top of the hill for them, with a lantern.

Y/N felt their knees give out below them as they slumped down on the grass in front of ray, the boy staring at them. "Well?"

"I-I—" Was all Y/N could muster out, feeling Ray's cold and harsh eyes glaring down at them.

"Just tell me what you saw." He demanded.

After being enveloped into the warmth of plant three's abode, they hurried upstairs.

The floorboards creaked below their harsh steps, and they tripped over their own feet a few times.

Glancing over at Norman's and Emma's sleeping figures briefly, they slid into bed, tugging the knitted blanket over their head.
