(Y/n) realized what had just happened. She looked at Hajime as tears started to roll down her cheeks. "I... I-I'm so s-s-sorry~" (Y/n) mumbled. "... I-I just..."

"... Why were you scared when I grabbed you like that? Your files never said you weren't bullied in school but instead were very popular. You were asked out often, and literally, everyone in that school loved you. Nerds, weebs, teachers, anyone... Did your mother abuse you?" Hajime said. 

"What?! No! She would never!" (Y/n) said. "... I-I don't know... Why I was scared... It just... Felt familiar... And My first instinct was to get away any way possible... I'm sorry... Are you okay? I kicked you pretty hard..."

"So someone has done that to you before? Do you know who?" Hitoshi said softly, walking up to (Y/n). 

"... I don't want to talk about this," (Y/n) mumbled. "Can we just go?"

"Of course... But we will be having this conversation again," Hajime said as (Y/n) walked up to him, and they walked out to the cafeteria. When (Y/n) entered, Rock saw her small figure and waved her down to their table. (Y/n) looked at them and smiled and walked up to them as if nothing had just happened. 

"We finally finished the toy car! Look! Isn't it cool?!" (Y/n) said, putting the toy car on the table. "And you can control with this!" She then pulled out the remote and started to drive the toy car. "Trois is amazing! I'm sure that I will be able to build a mini version of a rocket ship in no time! And I'm so happy the Warden is providing us with materials to do so!"

Uno was jealous that those two boys were getting more time with her. But he was happy to see (Y/n) happy. Over the time that (Y/n) has been at the prison, she has really had an impact on them. Especially Hajime. He didn't yell as much and seemed less stern, which the boys were very grateful about it. But they really wanted (Y/n) to try and escape with them. But she didn't want to jeopardize her chance of learning engineering. 

"So, do you wanna look at the stars tonight (Y/n)?" Jyugo asked. 

"Yeah! I'm sure it will be fun with you around!" Nico said. 

"Sorry, but I'm finally getting somewhere with engineering," (Y/n) said, smiling at them. "Sorry"

"You are starting to get boring~," Jyugo said. "I thought you were going to be fun to have around, but really you have just been boring. Who wants to learn things?"

"Jyugo, that's rude," Uno said. (Y/n) looked at Uno, then Jyugo. 

"I'm sorry you feel that way, Jyugo. But if you don't like me, why not ask Hajime to switch me to Trois and Honey cell? You can get rid of me and get your idea of fun back. And I will also be able to learn much more" (Y/n) said calmly. 

"No! Don't leave us!" Nico said. 

"Yeah! Jyugo! Say sorry!" Rock said. 

"... Let's make a deal (Y/n)... Escape with us, just once tonight. If you seem to be having fun and are having fun during any part of it, you get to escape with us once a week at night to look at the stars you love so dearly. But if you don't, then I will never ask you to escape with us again, and I will ask Hajime to have you switch cells," Jyugo said, smirking at her. 

(Y/n) looked at him and thought. "You can't deny that both outcomes benefit you," Jyugo said. "Really, only you are getting something out of it."

"It's like a gambling game! You have never gambled before (Y/n). So why not try it now. It's like it, but not completely," Uno said. 

"If we get caught, I'm saying you boys pressured me into it or tricked me. Maybe if I say that, even if I enjoy it, I won't get in too much trouble. And you boys better agree to it" (Y/n) said. 

"Does that mean you will do it?" Nico said. 

"Yes, I have been wondering what it's like to escaping with you all," (Y/n) giggled, turning to Nico.
