Neil paced back and forth in his room, looking at all the pictures he had hung up with red string. He stood there for a moment, before gently taking the end of the string and placed a pin around it, pinning up another picture.

This picture was a blurry mess of what looked like lights in the sky. Bright lights. Neil stared at it for a moment before nodding, stepping back and looking at it all.

"No-Eyed People, Ghosts, what else..." Neil mumbled quietly, glancing around his chart. "Ah! Ancient Aliens is the only thing that's missing! Where is it- where's my picture.."

His door gently opened as his Roomate walked in, staring over at Neil. "You still working on that thing?" They asked.

"Yes, Will, I'm still working on the 'thing'." Neil said flatly, looking over at Will with tired eyes.

Will noticed this and stepped over. "Do you need to sleep dude? You look.. exhausted." They said, gently placing one of their hands on Neil's shoulder.

"I'm fine, Will, I'll be okay." Neil replied with a small smile.

"..If you say so. I'm gonna make some pizza, come downstairs if you want some." Will nodded, patting Neil on the shoulder before walking out of the room.

"...Alright." Neil said softly.
