"Would you rather eat glass or sleep with a stranger?" The game asked us. What the heck is this kind of question!? "MmmmMm yummy glass" late said while picking his choice. We burst out laughing. "Yum yum" eiichi followed along. "I don't feel like dying today, also sleeping isn't that bad if it's just sleeping righttt?" I put in my vote. "Yea but it's a stranger" Jack pointed out. "It's not bad if you don't think of it bad! You dirty thinkers" I giggled. Jackal put an arm around my shoulders "I completely agreeee, sleeping with a stranger that you may end up having a good relation later sounds great, doesn't it little mouse?" he winked teasingly.  Jazzie told me how they found me last time sleeping on him, that flustered me thinking about it "god damnit Jackal! I was passed out!" He laughed "I know I know, I'm just messing....unless"

"Ayooooo, calm down you two, take it to the bedroom" zalgo said grinning. "ZALGO!" I panicked again. "You can't tell me you don't enjoy it even a little bit mousey" late teased aswell. "For fuck sakes!" I  got out of his grip before running to Lost who had just joined "lossttttt, they're bullying me!" I said hugging him. "WAT." He looked over immediately eyeing Jackal, Ofc lost didnt like him either, he found something very odd in him. Jackal put his hands up "it wasn't me, it was them" "HUH!? Hold up! You started it!" Zalgo fought back.

As they were fighting in the back, lost looked down at me with some news "I came here to tell you, the servers are gonna be down for a few hours. We might all get disconnected and won't be back till then. I hope everything will be fine on ur end." Oh lord...I never got to be part of a server down time. I wonder what's gonna happen. I nodded before going back to the others telling them the news. "NoOooo I wanna stayyyy" eiichi whined "whyyy cruel worldddd"

"Well mouse, we'll see you lat-" and with that, they all stopped moving and vanished....except..for Jackal? He was still clearly moving and there "jackal? How come are you still here?" I tilted my head. He looked around before going down to my level "oh that's very simple, I'm surprised you never noticed" he grabbed my arm lifting me into his shoulder before running to the wall jumping onto it and climbing it to the top. He sat me down on the edge next to him as we could watch the world's sunset in the distance. "Wait wait wait..youre like me?" I said almost speechless. He laughed before patting my head "why of course, why do you think I kept staying around you? I knew about you ever since I saw you. I just had to play along."

Of all the things he could've said, this was the craziest, I never knew someone else would've had the same case. " does Otso even know?.." He sighed slightly "nope. Not even the others." That's so surprising "how did you manage to hide it so well? When I arrived here, most of my family Immediately noticed it."

Jackal stared into the sunset "That's because I had nobody to share it with, I stayed alone for a while and figured it out myself. I knew the dangers so I avoided them. I'm guessing you must've encountered some problems huh?" He said holding me close. "Yea...some were very painful...I even got kidnapped once.. it was terrifying" I sighed. "You poor thing" he said giving a kiss on the head. Oh geez.

How have I been so blind? He played it off so well I didn't even realize he was just like me...how much of a coincidence that I managed to meet him. I mean it's nice to know that I'm not alone, I do wonder if there's others like this...tho there's one thing that I'm interested to know.. "hey Jackal...im sorry if it's rude to ask, you don't have to answer. Do you remember how you died and ended up in here?"

Jackel froze for a second. He stayed silent. "I-im so sorry! Again you don't have to answer! I..I was shot from my room's window, it was so sudden...I couldn't stop it..I wondered if you were the same case aswell.." I tried to explain. I felt his grip on my arm get tighter, his arm was around me and basically not much escape. I winced a bit before looking at him "oh..no joke it's not that..I just remembered how I died.." he had this weird grin...this one was...creeping me out.

"I shot myself after hearing living in this world was possible"
