(The next day)

Joseph's POV:

"Joseph?" Someone knocked on my door "Joseph, are you awake?" 

"mhm.." I groaned sleepily.

"Joseph, Can I come in?"

"Mmmm."

"Please Joseph?

I pulled the covers off me and stumbled over to the door, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My hair was a mess, clothes all dishevelled and I had dark rings under my eyes where I couldn't sleep properly. 

"What?" I opened the door to see Michiko and Mary outside my door.

"Darling you look awful." Mary gasped but soon shut up after Michiko elbowed her in the side.

"Is everything alright Joseph?" Michiko looked at me with worried eyes. 

I looked down and sighed. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" 

I shrugged and Mary nodded at Michiko, placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and then left.

"Shall we sit down and talk it out?" Michiko held my hand and sat me down on the edge of my bed with her. 

Michiko was not only like a mum to all of the hunters but also the first hunter who showed me kindness after arriving at the manor. I couldn't sleep for weeks after joining due to nightmares of my brother and used to wake up screaming most nights which annoyed the other hunters. Yet no matter how many times I disrupted her sleep or got on her nerves Michiko always understood and listened to me. She reminded all the others of their traumas and said we should all understand each other and respect our weaknesses, since then everyone started to let me be and tolerate me. Sometimes I still think they are only nice to me because I'm a good hunter and not because of the person I am but I don't blame them. 

"Tell me what's wrong Joseph." Mary held onto my hands and looked me in the eyes. 

I looked into her eyes, they where full of worry and kindness. I can't tell her about Aesop, I don't know how she would react, and even though he betrayed me, I still could never let anything hurt him.

"I- I-..." I choked on my words and tears started pouring from my eyes. "I can't tell you..."

Michiko pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear. "Joseph you can tell me anything you know this, I wouldn't ever judge you..." 

I looked down and shook my head, soft tears falling off my cheeks. "N..No I can't... not this..." Despite how much I wanted to tell Michiko And cry all my feelings out to her I was to scared to. "I.. I'm scared of how you'd react." 

Michiko looked into my eyes and nodded at me. "Joseph I will accept whatever you have to say despite my view on it and I wont ever tell anyone, I promise." 

I sighed and nodded at Michiko. I trust her, I have to trust her. I sat there a explained everything to Michiko from the beginning. From my first encounter with Aesop, becoming his friend, falling in love with him up to what I saw yesterday.
