I want you to close your eyes Mike." Said Ennard, his mouth barely visible.

"Alright.." Said Michael, closing his eyes as Ennard led him into his bedroom.

"Keep them closed."

"I will, geez.." Replied Michael, keeping his eyes shut.

"Okay.. open them now." Said Ennard, his voice suddenly changing in Michael's perspective.

Michael slowly opened his eyes.. but came to a surprise that there wasn't anyone there.

"Ennard?" Asked Michael, confused.

"Look behind you." Said the deeper voice, and Michael turned around.

"N-NOAH!?" Exclaimed Michael, startled at his sudden presence.

"Hey baby.." Replied Noah, white scars on his face and blood stains on his face and clothes.

"No. no. no, this can't be true! You would've told me earlier!!" Said Michael, an angry sadness rising in his voice.

"I know.. I'm sorry, that was a mistake." Replied Noah, grabbing a hold of Michael's hands.

"Is it really you..?" Asked Michael, looking down, crying.

"Yes. It's me Michael, not Ennard. It's Noah." Replied Noah, holding Michael's hand loosely.

"I MISSED YOU!!" Screamed Michael as he ran into Noah's arms, clenching his shirt and crying in his neck.

"I know.. I know." Replied Noah, slowly kneeling down and holding Michael in his arms, not disturbing him.

"Y-You're such an idiot.. why didn't you tell me!?" Asked Michael, wiping his eyes with his sleeve and smiling sadly at Noah.

"I was scared.. that's all." Replied Noah, "Especially after what I'd done to you.."

"It doesn't hurt now, not at all." Replied Michael, squishing Noah in another hug, right there on the floor.

"Isn't it cold..?" Asked Noah.

"Yes. But you're just as warm as you always were." Replied Michael, "I kept your hoodie.. and our leaf."

"You.. still remember the leaf?" Asked Noah, gesturing at his leaf clipped to his hair.

"That was one of few memories I had of you, of course I did." Replied Michael, letting himself fall into Noah's body.

"C-Cool.." Said Noah, stuttering.

"You never stuttered before.." Said Michael, bringing Noah's face in front of him and peering into his eyes.

"I'm fine.." Mumbled Noah, "I need my pills if I want to stay like this."

"Pills..?" Asked Michael, looking around.

"They're in the bathroom." Mumbled Noah again, growing weaker quickly.

"I'll get them!" Exclaimed Michael, running to the bathroom, setting Noah upright on his bed.

"Mommy." Said Elizabeth, seeing her mother in a pitch black room.

"E-ELI..? ELIZABETH!?" Exclaimed Ms. Afton, looking at her daughter in the distance.

She was the only one who could see her. The only person being illuminated in the place, running towards her.

"MOMMY!!" Screamed Elizabeth, expanding her wings and tail, revealing she was dead, and running to her mother.

"ELI!!" Exclaimed Ms. Afton, running to her, sliding on the floor and grabbing her.

"Mommy.. you're okay.." Said Elizabeth, holding her mother as she lifted her up.
