"Why does my head hurt so badly..?"

Ranboo sat up to see he was trapped in a room of steel. He had been lying down on a bed that wasn't his.
Ranboo got up quickly, swinging his legs off of the bed and standing up, surveying his surroundings.

The room had no doors, and was really cramped.
"A claustrophobic person's nightmare." He said to himself. Rubbing his shoulders as he became aware of how cold it was.
Ranboo looked down at himself.
He wasn't wearing the clothes he was before.
"What in the-"
Ranboo was wearing a black T-shirt with white long sleeves underneath, Light grey khakis, and black boots.

Ranboo looked around the room again to see if there was a way out, but to no avail.
Ranboo cupped his hands around his mouth. "Hello?" A few moments of silence pass.

"Guess I'm alone.."
Loud banging sounds from the left, and right walls, and some from the ceiling.
Ranboo begins panicking his eyes darting from wall to wall.
"Show yourself!" Ranboo yelled without much thought.

The banging stopped.
"Well I would if I could, but this room has no doors dumbass!" A voice remarked from the left wall.

Ranboo quickly ran over to the wall.
"Thank goodness, I'm not by myself."
"Well who do you think was banging on the walls? The Tooth Fairy?" The voice said sarcastically.

Ranboo looked up at the ceiling.
"Anyone up there?"
No one answered.
"Could have sworn that I heard banging from up there." Ranboo mumbled to himself.
Someone began banging on the ceiling again. There was definitely someone up there. Ranboo stepped back when he saw small pieces of the ceiling falling off.
"It's breaking, stop banging on the floor before it-"

Ranboo didn't finish his sentence on time.
The ceiling broke off. Ranboo looked away, and he heard a shriek of surprise followed by the sound of metal against metal.
"-Breaks."
Ranboo opened his eyes.
A young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes was in front of him
His mouth was taped closed, and he was shaking.
"You okay?" Ranboo asked, reaching his hand out.
The boy looked up at Ranboo, and his eyes were filled with pure fear.
He quickly scooted back away from Ranboo.

"I'm not the person who did this to you. I swear." Ranboo promised, approaching the trembling boy slowly.
He sat down in front of him.
Ranboo pit his hand in the boys hair, ruffling it gently.
The boy began to visibly calm down.
Ranboo reached for the tape, and he ripped it off.
The boy took a few breaths before responding.
"Thank you, I guess." The boy said in a thick British accent.

"Why did you have tape over your mouth?" Ranboo asked.
"...We're all going to die." The boy deadpanned.
Ranboo stands up.
"O-kay, I see that's a topic for another time."
Ranboo reaches out a hand for the boy to take and he accepts it.
"I'm Ranboo." He holds his hand out.
"Tommy." He accepts the handshake.
Suddenly a loud yell rings out, followed by a loud punch against the wall.
A arm shoots through the right wall, and it immediately begins bleeding.

"Owowow- I should have thought that through-" Ranboo walks over and Tommy follows behind.
Ranboo looks at the wall.
"These walls are really weak." Ranboo stated.
"No shit Sherlock." Tommy said pointing to the large piece of metal on the ground behind them.

Ranboo pushes the hand back through the wall.

"Thanks." The voice says gratefully.
"What's your name?" Ranboo asked.
A small laugh sounds from the other side of the wall.
Ranboo looks at Tommy in confusion, and he just shrugs.
"That's for me to know, and you to find out!" The voice teases.
Ranboo sighs.
"Hello? I haven't disappeared yet?" The person from the left wall yells.
"Thanks for asking! My name is Purpled."
Ranboo looked at the wall with a look of judgement "But no one-" Tommy quickly covered Ranboo's mouth.
"Don't, it's what he wants."
Ranboo moves Tommy's hand away from his mouth.
