Error opened his eyes and looked around.
,Where am I?'
He asked himself and looked at the trash in the alleyway. His whole body hurt like hell.
A small whimper escaped him.
,,Hello?" He heard an unknown voice.
Error felt a sudden fear, he didn't know why, and scooted back, accidentally hitting a trash can.
A figure came into the alleyway and noticed Error. The two stared at each other.
The eyes of the figure went wide and they ran to Error.

,,Oh my god- Kid are you okay? Where are your parents?" Error thought for a bit.
Then he noticed, that he didn't know if he had parents.
Actually, he noticed that he didn't remember anything except his name.
,,i- I DoN'T knOw! I DOn'T rEmEMber- I- I dOn'T reMemBEr AnyThinG eXcEpt mY NamE- I jUst woKe uP hErE!"
Whimpered Error, the fear of the unknown filling him. The figure looked at him.
,,Hey, hey, calm down, kid. Breathe with me, yeah?" The glitching skeleton nodded.

The figure, a human with pink hair and blue eyes, smiled slightly. ,,Good. Now, what is your name?"
Error in- and exhaled. ,,E-eRrOr." He answered.
The human seemed to flinch again.
,,Okay then, Error. Error, do you know how old you are?"
Error thought for a bit and shook then his head.
The human nodded.
,,Okay. I want to take you to a hospital, you seem in pain. Is that okay?" Error nodded hesitantly, despite not knowing what a hospital was.
The human smiled and carried Error slowly up.
He began to glitch harshly, the touch felt like needles in his bones.
,,Îț hÛૹ..." Whimpered Error.
,,I know, I'm sorry."
Said the human and carried Error quickly to a car and sat him inside, so that they don't hurt him anymore.

Then the human brought Error to the hospital.
The doctors examined Error carefully, treating his wounds. One doctor looked at the human.
,,You brought him to this hospital really to the right time. I don't know how long he would've survived any longer. There are no deadly wounds, but they are too much for a child of his age. He seems to be around three years old. Also, I suspect that he has Haphephobia, the fear of touch. No matter where he was before his amnesia, it wasn't a good place. His parents or caretakers were most likely abusive. He also seems to haven't eaten in a very long time. It's better to give him something small, as soon as you come home. Nothing big or something he needs to chew, because he won't be able to hold it inside. A soup would be something good, to example."

The human nodded understanding and looked at the child, which looked frightened left and right.
,,Guess I am now mother of a third child."
Sighed the human and already planned what to do, when to go to get adoption papers and how to help Error getting into the family.
She walked to the glitching skeleton, he looked at her scared. ,,Are you okay?" She asked.
Error nodded slightly and warped his arms around his knees.
The human sighed.
,,Are you okay with coming with me to where I live?" Error stared at the ground.
,,a-ArE thErE maNy peOpLe tOo?"
He asked her. The human shook his head.
,,No. Just me and my two sons, Geno and Fresh."
Answered the human. Error looked at the human.
,,tHen... oKaY." The human smiled.

The two went to the house of the human.
Error clawed himself on the pants of the human, when they entered. ,,Momma! Momma!"
They heard a voice.
A white skelekid ran to the human with a baby in it's arms.
,,Hey, Geno." The human said and smiled.
A woman came. ,,Hello, CQ. Oh? Who is that?"
She said, looking at Error.
Said glitch clawed onto the pants and looked scared up.
The human smiled.
,,This is Error. It would be nice if you would leave. It's nothing personally, it's just that he is scared if people." The woman nodded.
,,Okay then. Goodbye, Geno and Fresh. Bye CQ."
,,Goodbye Mrs. Hailing!"
Cheered Geno and the woman left.
Geno then neared with the baby in his arms Error. ,,Hello! I'm Geno!"
Greeted Geno the younger one.
,,m-My nAmE iS eRrOr..." Murmured Error.
The human smiled.
,,He is your new brother. I'm adopting him."
Geno gasped. ,,Yay! New brother!"
He said and smiled.

Error was now a few days with CQ's family in the house.
He still was scared of being touched or getting hurt, but he got better.
,,wHat aRe yOu EaTinG?"
Questioned Error, looking at Geno who ate a chocolate bar. ,,Oh, this? This is chocolate! Momma, if Error wants, can he try chocolate? Please?"
Asked Geno and looked big at his mother.
The human sighed and smiled.
,,Of course he can. But only a small piece, we don't want him to get sick, yes?"
Geno nodded and looked at Error.
Error nodded.,,y-YeaH. I wOuLd lIkE tO tRy..."
Geno smiled and gave Error a piece.
The glitch slowly ate it.
Then he gasped.
,,I LoVe iT! It'S tHe bEsT tHiNg I'Ve eVeR AtE!"
Geno giggled. ,,Your eyes are weird!"
He said smiling. ,,mY eYes?"
Said Error confused. CQ looked at him.
,,They were stars for a moment! It was pretty pretty!" Laughed Geno.
,,rEaLly?" Said Error and smiled then.
,,I LiKE sTars!" He cheered.
