Me and "Moon" talked a bit. I knew he was not my brother, but something told me that he was there. Somewhere. Looked at him for a moment. He had a weird face. He was kinda hiding his mask when I looked straight at it. Then I noticed he looked a bit hungry.

"Are you hungry?" I asked.

"Kinda" he replied.

"Should I take you to the kitchen?"

"No, it's fine! I can take myself there"

His mask lit up with directions from our room to the kitchen. 

"Papa said that the mask can guide me now!" He said happily. 

"Really?" I asked, not even the duo, the members who have been here the longest, masks couldn't do that.

"Yup!" He was too happy about that. 

"Ok, let's go and see if you got the route correct." I said standing up from the chair. He also stood up from his space on the floor, not saying a word. 

He walked into the hall, and went right, then left, and he went left at the exact next corner.

"Moon, continue straight, then you go left." I said. he hated crossing the duo's path. Don't know what it was, he just felt so uncomfortable around them he would start vibrating violently.

"This way is shorter though?" He asked stoping and looked at me. a question mark popped up where his eyes would be on the mask.  "Is it not?" 

"You hate encountering C and Grey." I looked at him worried. "They take this path, remember?" 

"Oh yeah!" He said nervously. I noticed his eyes turning a slight red orangish color, before turning into an X, then the color was normal. "I almost forgot about that, heh" he said it and his masked showed an XD. 

"C'mon!" He yelled put again taking a rerouted path.

"Moon!" I yelled out this time I blocked him with a tentacle, which was the only way for me to touch someone without panicking. 

Papa said that using tentacles made from our goop was a technique used to catch prey ever since Shadow first came. So it's probably something to do with that, and also the fact that the goop from my tentacles are mostly numb.

"Huh?" He looked at me confused yet again.

"Just follow me, and don't  run." I said to him.

"But I know my way!" He yelled out. The word "Unfair" appeared on his mask.

"And know I have to carry you there" I said picking him up and continued walking. 

He pouted a little before accepting that I won't put him down. I continued forward, and then turned left. I walked in to see that C was flirting with the masked person by the counter. Boss said that he trains them, but also has them do their own share of work. Which makes sense, but I feel bad for them whenever C is around.

He stoped talking and saw me put Moon down.

"Hey lil guy!" He said waving to us. Moon looked shocked hearing C. "The little one got his mask?" 

Moon hid his face in my tentacles, he seemed scared.

"Yeah, boss gave it to him since his first mission is today." I heard a few buzzing noises from Moon, but I decided to ignore it. 

"The kid still scared of me?" C said. His mask showed a sad face. 

"Yeah..." I said feeling kinda bad for C. "He just needs more time to warm up"
