Worry laced Mono’s eyes. He watched as Six hobbled over to him. She leaned onto him, Mono keeping his gaze on her to make sure that she was okay. Mono took a deep breath, his mind racing. I am probably over thinking. She’ll tell me if something is wrong. Right?  Shaking his head, making his hair sway from side to side, Mono stared up at the open window above them. The gloomy moonlight shining through the window, lighting up Mono’s face. 

“Okay. Six I am going to need to hop up there. Then I can pull you up,” He turned to her, “Sound good?” Six nodded, her shoulder length black hair bouncing. She lightly shifted her weight onto her bad leg, wincing. Swiftly, Mono leaped up, grapping the wooden sill. Pulling himself up, he spun on his knees to face Six. Lowering his hand down, he let Six grab onto his hand. As he hoisted Six up, his eyes grew wide, his jaw dropping. Six’s features shone under the moonlight like an angel. 

Once on the sill, Six sat on her knees next to Mono, trying to keep pressure off the wound. Together, they got to their feet. The wooden sill rough under Mono’s feet. Six held onto Mono’s hand firmly as he went to peek over the windows edge. Mono gulped as he looked down. Grey fog swirled through the streets of the city, making it hard to accurately estimate how high they were. I guess we are about three stories high. Mono shuffled away from the edge.  

His eyes travelled around, trying to find a way to get down safely. Next to him, Six bumped his upper arm with her shoulder, pointing. Mono’s eyes trailed to where her hand was pointing. A drain pipe. “How do you do that?” Mono quizzed himself, hand on his chin. Six tilted her head to the side as she faced Mono. “You always seem to find an escape route before me. It’s…. amazing.” He stared at Six in awe. Mono thought he could see a blush bloom on her cheeks, but she spun her head forward before he could get a good look. His hand still in her’s, he felt his hand go up and down as Six shrugged. “It’s kind of like you have a sixth sense,” Mono concluded, a proud expression on his face.  

Six looked at him, confused. Before she snorted, chuckling. Her face went bright red as she laughed. She quickly covered her face with her hand. Mono smiled, giggling along with Six. Still laughing, the two slowly made it to the drain pipe. Six had tears pricking the corner of her eyes as she snickered. Mono supported the laughing Six, helping her to grab onto the pipe. The pipe was long, reaching all the way down into the foggy ocean beneath. Every few inches a metal wire was screwed around the pipe connecting it to the building.   

After Six calmed down, she started to make her way down, using the metal wired as a ladder. Mono watched as she carefully made her way down, avoiding her bad leg. Her form soon disappeared in the fog. Mono followed, clutching onto the cool, metal wire. Cautiously, he descended into the mist. He felt the cool air tickle his skin, his brown hair starting to stick to his damp forehead.  

Mono felt his grip on the metal wire start to slip. The mist leaving its water droplets on the cool surface. His eyes widened as his hand lost its grip. Mono yelped, his body falling back. His hands scrambled to grab onto something but it was too late, he was already falling.
