Razor was seated at Bennett's bed, wearing Bennett's clothes and looking at Bennett, who was sitting down beside him, looking down. The wolf boy wanted to say something, to try to cheer the adventurer up, but he didn't know what to say. Before he could think of something, the other spoke for him:

-We need to help Fischl.

-How?

-I don't know... I'll try to talk to her, you stay here, wait for me, I promise I'll be back soon. If dad asks where I went, you say I went to see if Fischl wants to come and do something with us. Ok?

-Ok...

Bennett left his house and went to Fischl's, he knocked on the door, which was quickly opened by the girl's father:

-Bennett? What are you doing here?
-Hi, umh Is Fischl home?

-She 's in her room actually

-Can I go there?
-Yeah, I guess.

He went inside, it was a relatively normal house for someone like Fischl to live in. There were no crazy wallpapers or collections of different colored rocks. It was just a regular home. He went upstairs and immediately recognized Fischl's room, unlike the other doors, which were brown, her door was painted black, and had her and what seemed like Oz's name written on pretty cursive font, but Oz's name was ruined, it had been scratched off with a knife.

He knocked on the door:

-Fischl! It 's Bennett! Can I come in?

The girl opened the door, she was wearing a dress far too simple for her to be wearing, her hair wasn't tied, but was neatly combed and her nails were painted in a light beige color, the only thing that was left from her was her eyepatch, but even that had been replaced for a white one. He didn't know who she was anymore. The electro user smiled when she saw him:

-Bennett! Hi!

-Hey Fisch!

-Come in! Let 's chat a bit.

-Oh- okay then.

She pulled him into her room and closed the door:

-So~ how have you been? - she said while sitting on the edge of her bed, it looked really bland without a carpet, and the white sheets didn't help it pop either, he sat at a chair on the other side of the room, it seemed similar to the one's Bennett saw in the living room, but he didn't really think much of it - Do you like my new decoration?

-Yeah, it looks... nice.

-Thanks! It took me a while to change the wallpaper, and to re-paint the wardrobe, it used to be a really dark color.

-Must have taken a long while, it's not easy to change your whole room.

-It 's not, hah. Anyway, how has Razor been doing?

-Oh, Razor? He 's been fine.

-That's good, how about you?

-I'm fine too.

-How nice! You two have been having fun together? He's staying at your house isn't he?

-Yeah he is, we've been doing a lot of stuff together.

-You two are best friends, right?
-We are close friends, I guess.

-But just friends.

-Uhm... yes.

-Great, I'd hate to make you break up. - she got up and walked in Bennett's direction - I mean, it would break his heart.

-What do you mean by-

Fischl grabbed his shirt and made him stand up, she pulled him closer and kissed him, he pushed away quickly, but she didn't take her hand off him, she tried again, but he didn't let her:

-Fischl what the hell.

-What? Why are you pulling away?

-Because you can't just kiss people like that, it's rude.

-Do you not like me Bennett?

-I do like you, a lot, but not like that.

-But I've been trying so hard! I changed my whole room to fit you, my whole style, my whole life! Why don't you like me? Why do you like Razor?

-Fischl I... we've been friends for a long time, me and Razor. We hung out a lot, and we shared a bunch of interests. I just really, really like him, and he likes me too...

-Bennett... uhm, can you... leave?

-Okay...

He walked away from her house and back to his, thinking about what had just happened. She changed a lot, and he didn't think it was for the best.

:) I wan't y'all to know, I love Fischl too much.
