[WILBUR'S POV]

I woke up, still laying comfortably against Schlatt's chest. I recounted last nights events and remembered that the water had risen up, I also remembered that Schlatt kissed me on the head before I fell asleep. He's so cute sometimes. I wonder if that was just a friendly thing though. He did comfort me well last night.
