Five years ago

A figure was slumped over in an alleyway, rain pattering on the concrete causing dusty streets to become slick with puddles, reflecting the street lights.

Wires were strewn around their face, mingling with drenched hair. An odd sizzling sound was heard, as if water was bubbling due to heat. An unstable electrical hum was also present, glitching randomly.

The figure shifted their position and leaned their forehead on the rough surface of a building, good-eye wide. They wore a somewhat maniacal smile, hot tears spilling from their working eye and dripping off their chin along with the cold rain.

It hurt.

It hurt so bad.

They laughed, the laughter dissolving into a sob.

Make it stop.

Please.

Their sob hitched oddly, sounding somewhat like a glitch. They bit their tongue to keep from screaming.

Have to be quiet.

I can't let them find me-

Not again not again.

It hurts.

A scream as more pain rushed through their head.

It hurts.

A voice.

Darkness.

He looked around, eyes wide. He was free. The outside world was overwhelming. Too many loud noises. Too many bright lights. Too many colors. He had finally managed to calm down.

He pulled his knees closer towards himself, water soaking his hood and dripping into his face. He didn't mind staying in the rain. The coldness was refreshing. Water was just amazing.

A car zoomed by, splashing dirty water onto him. He flinched, breathes becoming uneven. He was fine he was fine- what in the world had that thing been??

He fell asleep from pure exhaustion, terrified.

A ravenette knocked on a door, shifting their weight awkwardly. The door opened to reveal another ravenette, this one with dark green eyes.

"Yes?"

Oh um oh dear why had he been here in the first place? The book ah yes-

"Um I saw someone carrying a bunch of books and they dropped this? I might have gotten the wrong house though. " He held the novel up. Green eyes narrowed.

"Brown hair, green eyes, big scar on his face?"

"Yep."

The ravenette holding the door open sighed. "Yep, he's my roommate. Uh, thank you?"

"Your welcome?" The knock-er handed the book to the green-eyed figure. He took this time to study him. Dark green eyes with black hair, fair skin and an odd amount of scars trailing from under his ears and down his neck- the ears themselves having odd scars on the edges. Shorter than the ravenette but not short, with a jacket hurriedly pulled on.
