Story:
The visit

Thin Man and The Lady met one another from time to time. Though they both found out that the other is Mono and Six, they decided to set their past aside.

Mono came to visit from time to time as Six was still the only friend he's ever had. She was mainly always "busy" but she just likes having time to herself.

Having put the past aside as said, Six always tends to greeting Mono to her quarters when he comes to visit. Mono hardly ever talks anymore towards Six, but he can still show he cares about her sometimes.

One day during one of his visits, Six had woken up from her slumber in her home, but one thing seemed to be missing... her mask was gone.

Going from a drowsy tired state, to complete panic as she couldn't find her mask. In a rush she searched everywhere for her mask. Be it high or low, even the backroom with all her shattered mirrors.

Meanwhile, she heard her elevator beginning to shift and begun moving. It was Mono. He tends to take the elevator to her room to not freak her out, but she was still freaking out due to her mask being gone.

The elevator doors open and all that could be seen inside was Mono having to crouch in the elevator to be able to fit inside. He squeezed his way out and stood up completely, having to stretch a moment everytime he takes it.

Six heard the elevator and knew he was here. In a rush she was slipping and tripping on almost everything, getting back up in the next second after.

Mono had reached the main living room and noticed some books on the floor and a table tipped over. Even then, viewing of what looked like a struggle, he heard sounds of a ruckus or large clatter above him. Growing suspicious he followed upstairs when Six was nowhere to be seen.

His best guess in the situation is that she was upstairs. How could she not? When he reached her room he saw the same shattered mirror, but a few more scattered books, and a couple of mannequins of hers that are tipped over. Gave him horrible memories of the hospital.

He walked into her bedroom, being careful not to bump his head, but still no Six. That is until he saw a dark silhouette behind some of her paper walls she changes behind.

Mono: Ahem...

Six then got startled and accidentally tipped over her no so good cover, making a small yelp and proceeded to cover her face with both hands.

Six: DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!

Mono: hm?

She then started running in a random direction and began bumping into multiple walls and tripping onto her bed while Mono stood watching it all. He wouldn't lie though, this was unbearable to watch.

She tried desperately to dash out of the room, using one hand to feel her surroundings, waving her arm around frantically.

Mono decided he's seen enough. So he walked closer, taking off his hat, and placing it atop her head to cover her face while exhaling through his nose tiredly.

Mono: Better?

Six just stood there in surprise that he gave her his hat. He hardly ever takes it off that she figured it was part of his hat. Like glued on or something.

She managed to finally calm down while holding the front of the hat down to cover most of her face. Only thing mainly visible was her mouth.

Six: Y-yes. Thank you.

He only nods at her as a way to say "your welcome". Though only one thing remains on his mind.

Mono: What was all that about?

Six: I lost my mask.

Mono: Seriously? It's because you lost your stupid mask?

Mono said being a little irritated by that. All that ruckus and her struggle was because of her "stupid" mask he calls it. Six knew he was annoyed and tipped the hat lower in embarrassment.

Six: D-don't judge me. My face i-is... ugly.

Mono looked back at her with the expression that would say "yeah right" in a sarcastic way. He felt annoyed by this as he held his nose making grumbled breathing.

He decided it's best if he went to look for it. So he was about to head his way out to look for it, that is until he heard a small clicking sound of a distressed Nome nearby. He looked down and lo and behold, there's a Nome... HOLDING her mask!

Mono sighed as he crouched to reach for it. The Nome became frightened by his approach and appearance and began to run as fast as its little legs could while holding the mask. Mono still managed to grab the mask and the Nome was still holding onto it while dangling.

He then shaked the mask up and down and got the Nome to let go. He didn't want to hurt them, so he caught it with his other hand and gently let it go and run away as it did.

Mono: Found it.

Six then took it from his hand while he held it out to her. She slipped it on while still having his hat in the way. After it placed she handed his hat back and proceeded to slip it atop his head as well. She let out a breath of relief as she felt relaxed.

Six: Now..... tea?

Mono gave a Shrug. He didn't really know what to do after experiencing what he saw for the past five minutes.
