  "What do you want from me? I'm a little busy trying to figure out who this "Founder is..."Ranboo says
  "I'm just taking a good look at you that's all" I look around the cabin and try to see if I find a way out
  "A good look at me..." they seem a little uncomfortable. "What are you planning?"  he asks this in a concerned tone.
  "I'm not planning anything okay! I'm just like you stuck in here" I turn back around and look at him "I'm not trying to scare you, okay I just I've been here for too long and I want to leave and I don't even know who you are! Are you human or a robot?"
  "A...a...robot?!" He seems pretty confused when you ask if he's a robot. "No! What?!" The confusion quickly turns to distress. "I-I am a real person!" He seems scared. He's probably telling the truth.
  I breathe and then I sigh as I walk over to the door "Have you tried going out here yet?" I stand there looking at the door
    "M-no!" That seems to get a nervous response out of him. "Have you, uh...Have you seen anything? Or anyone?" He seems a little paranoid. Like, someone's in the walls or here.
   I turn back to look at him "you're fine you weirdo stop worrying"  I walk over to the kitchen door and i open it "Were you in here? Looks like someone was in here."
   "No! Um...are we safe here?" He seems a bit less worried and more focused on the kitchen, now.Should we...um...should we keep the doors locked at night?" He seems to have calmed down a bit.
  I walk in the kitchen and I ignore his second question "you're fine like I said the only person I'm worried about is that slime guy but other then that were fine"
  "You're not...a...slime guy, right?" The fear seems to have returned to him.His eyes are darting about the kitchen as if he's looking for something or someone? hiding in there.
  I slowly walk up to them and pull my hood down "no I'm not a Slime Guy" I hold my hand out for him to shake it "half human half something else I've been in this cabin for like a year or a month. I'm Rose and you are?" While I wait for an answer I tap my foot.
  "I-I'm Ranboo." He says, taking your hand."W-wait, a year..? A month?!What?!" He seemed shocked to hear the answer.
  "Nice to meet you Ranboo" I put my hood back up after I finish shaking his hand "yeah some people found me in the woods next thing I know they wanna do experiments on me those experiments don't go well and now I'm here in this cabin trying to find a way out"
   "I-I'm sorry to hear that..." That seems to get a sympathetic response out of him. He seems to be a bit more trustful of me now, but he's still a bit cautious and paranoid. He's looking around to make sure no one is in the walls or anything. "Can we...uh, can we trust each other?"
    "Only if you trust me" I stand beside him "you trust me right?" I ask him because I wanna get his answer and not mine
   "I-I'll trust you with...with my life." He says. The paranoid look is gone and seems to be replaced with a serious face. He seems like he's telling the truth.
   "You stutter a lot!" I look at the wires that are attached to his mask. "Did they hurt you as well?" I question
  "They did...they did more than hurt me." The words just fall out of his mouth. He looks a little shocked that he even said that."B-but, I-Its alright! I'm...I'm okay! Really!" He says, seemingly in an attempt to convince himself more than he's trying to convince me.
   I touch his mask that looks like it's full metal "why? Do you wear it?" my hand starts feeling like it's burning and I quickly pull it back and hide it in my hoodie
   "D-Don't touch the mask!" He jumps a little, suddenly."It...reminds me...of what they did to me..." He says, sounding like he doesn't want to talk about it, they then notice me putting my hand in my hoodie."What's happening?are you okay, why are you moving your hand...?" He seems a bit freaked out.
  "Nothing you need to worry about Ranboo" I smile "I think I like that name Ranboo" I look at him "are you gonna be okay?"
  "I-I'll live." They smile and then laugh a bit. "It's not like this is forever, right?" He seems like he's trying to convince himself more than he's trying to convince me.He lets out another small laugh, it sounds a bit forced."I-I'll be fine."
  "And I'll be fine as well..." I look at my hand that's still in my hoodie the burning sensation has stopped now so I take my hand back out and I let it rest by my side "it won't be forever we will get out of here and I will help you I will stay by your side"
  "Good." He says, quietly. "That's good..." There's something in their voice when he says that. Something sad.After a while he speaks again. "I promise I'm..." He trails off, not exactly sure what he wants to say. Perhaps he's worried he might be a bad friend. Or maybe he's worried that he might get me hurt. Or maybe he just doesn't want to bring me down.
  "You're human I know" I walk ahead of them and I stand against the wall "but that wasn't what you we're gonna say your gonna be fine" I cough and cover my mouth
  "Yeah, I'm human." they say with more confidence this time. He sighs a little louder than they probably should've but doesn't comment on it."Thank you" there's this look in his eye and it's impossible to describe. But if they could say it, the look in their eye would be saying I appreciate you he then starts getting worried again and then they start looking around
"It was just me and you buddy" I lower my hood and keep my mouth covered "no one else is here except us two" 
  "Are you sure?" The little bit of paranoia they had returned, but not in a completely negative way. It's as if he's just being careful. It's understandable, considering the situation. "What if there is someone here and they're watching us right now..?"
  "Then I would hurt them..." I walk slowly over to them "Ranboo I've been here longer I would know if someone was here"
  "Okay...Good. Yes..." He looks more comfortable. His look of fear slowly melts away, but it's replaced with that look in his eye the I appreciate you look. He smiles even though I can't see it. I can tell they are happy. It seems genuine."Thank you...I...I really needed that...I guess I'm just nervous..."The mask is hiding it, but he seems happier that you're here.
I place my hand on his shoulder but it starts to give that burning sensation again I then quickly pull it back "yeah yeah you're welcome"
  "Why..why do you keep doing that?" There's worry in his voice."Is...is there something we can do about the thing that is bothering you..?" He asks, and he seems legitimately concerned.
  I put my hand in my pocket "i said.... I said it's fine no worries you don't have to... it's fine Ranboo" i'm lying and they can tell
  "Are you sure.."  he asks, but the tone of their voice makes it seem like he doesn't think you're being completely honest. "We can...we can talk about it...I-I want to help if I can..." He says as he looks at me, with a look of concern.Perhaps he also feels like i'm his best friend here and they don't want to see me in pain.
  "I can't... I can't have human contact. I can't touch people. I can't hug people without my hand or my body or anything feeling like it's burning" I look into his eyes" like i said half human half something else ...."
  "O-oh..." His response is slow, as they try to process this. "So, any physical contact just feels uncomfortable...right?" They say this in a way suggesting that he wants to make sure he understands the situation. "That's alright, we don't need to hug." he takes a breath and then says under his breath "Not that I don't want to..."
my whole body feels like it's burning but I don't say anything and I just lay my head on your shoulder and I try not to hit the wires that connected to your mask
  "It's okay..." they seem like they are trying to calm you down but the concern is still visible on his face and in his voice. "I'm here now...I can help...I want to help...I'll do anything I can.." The words just fall out of his mouth because he means them. He's just so sincerely worried about me. The mask is hiding it but it's visible in the way he speaks. "We're...we're gonna get out of here...somehow."
  the burning starts to calm down a tiny bit and I finally say something "why? Help me? Why do you care about me?"
  "You're my friend." He looks at me, the mask hiding the smile that appears on their face."And...we're both stuck here...I-I just want you to be okay..and safe."The kind, gentle look in his eye is replaced by determination."And if there's something I can do to make that happen...I'm not passing up that opportunity..not as long as you're my friend.."He means this all very seriously.
  I back up from the hug and my whole face and hands are red and I'm shaking I then pull my hood back up
"What's wrong?!" He says, with a bit of panic in his voice."I-I'm sorry! Are- are you okay?!"He seems really concerned, and he seems like he wants to help me but doesn't know how. "I-I can help you..?"The desperation is obvious in his voice.
  "I'm fine!" my normal skin color comes back and he can tell something is totally off or different about me "I've never had a hug before and they they said that hugs weren't good for me or anyone" I turn around and look at the basement door "we should go find a way out" start walking over to the basement door
  "If they- I promise they're lying." He says, with desperation in his voice. He sounds like he's worried. He's worried about me. He might even go as far to say that he's scared for me? "If you want hugs, I...you can just ask..." He says. "I'm your friend," His voice is just so genuine. "And...I'll make sure that you're gonna be okay."And then you start walking towards the basement door, and he follows behind you.
  "No!! I don't need any of that they didn't... it's wrong and it's bad and it hurts people!" I open the door and walk into the basement
  He stares at me, completely confused."What?!" He seems so shocked that he can't even think of anything to say. His mouth is hanging half-open in complete shock.He seems hurt. And confused. He has no idea what that meant, and I can tell.
  I quickly turn around and my hood falls down. He can tell that I was crying or at least I was hurting "just help me find something that could get us out of this place!!"
  He looks concerned again. The kindness in his eyes changes to a compassionate look. He seems confused but understanding."Okay. Alright...there must be something." This also seems to calm him down a little bit."Let's see...I'll try going through the kitchen. What are you looking for? A way out? Or something else?"
  I turn around and look at a shelf. I also ignore his questions "any keys or anything?" I ask as I'm look at the shelf for anything
  "The keys..?" He asks, a bit puzzled.He looks around the walls, seeming to look for keys.
"No..No keys, but...there's probably something that'll help us escape." He walks around the room, looking for something we could use as a weapon, or something we could use to break the lock on the door."Uh...wait...yeah! I remember there being something..."His eyes light up.
"Do you think an axe could work?" He asks, turning to look at me and raises his eyebrows.
  I turn around again and laugh a tiny bit "I don't know how that would be helpful but we could try..."
  "I-I mean, they can break doors right?" He seems confused."Can they break doors, or could they break people?"he says under his breath "I mean...it's worth a shot. We just...need something sharp." His eyes light up. "We could try using a kitchen knife? I-It might leave a scratch on the door, but it should get the job done if an axe won't."
  I turn around and look at the axe. I then walk up to it and grab it. I then walk back into the kitchen "grab knives!" I yell
  He does as he's told and grabs a handful of knives."I think I have some...sharpeners around here..." He trails off and starts looking for some sharpeners. He finds them on the counter, and he grabs a bunch.Then he shows them to me "Is that good?" He asks.The look in his eyes is a mix of concern, hesitation, and hope.
"You're an idiot Ranboo but yeah that would work..." I grab a towel and wipe my face "go to the door I will be there in a minute"
  "I am not an idiot!" He protested, sounding a bit offended.But then they laughed a bit. A little awkward. "I'm sorry...that was a bit rude..."He goes to the door, the same confused, hesitant, hopeful look in their eyes. "I'm here now. So, what's the plan?"
  I throw the towel to the ground and then I walk over to them "I'm sorry I just I've never... I've never had..." I then quickly hit the door with the axe and as I go to grab the handle the door comes crashing down I then walk though as I do I change the subject "the axe worked!"
He laughs at the sudden change "It worked!" He says, with a smile as he looks at the axe in my hand. "I-I knew it would." He seems genuinely happy to see that to be proved right."Now, let's...let's go find somewhere to hide. I-I'm sure that they'll come here soon."He seems less concerned with the door coming down. But it's obvious that he's not used to all of this and it's making them nervous.
"They.... No no no" I run over to the wall and sit down I start having a panic attack and he can tell that something he said triggered it "they can't they wouldn't would they? I mean they know everything. they raised me they they are right about everything I'm wrong"
  He walks over to me, putting a hand on my shoulder, with clear concern in his eyes and his voice. He was never good at calming people down, but he tries "Hey. Hey. Hey... Is everything okay? What did I say?" His voice is gentle, and his look is kind. "What's wrong? What do you mean?" But the gentle look in his eye. He genuinely cares.
I jump a little when I feel your hand on my shoulder "they were right!" I get up I watch your hand fall to the ground "humans just use you and hurt you"
"Hey...Hey. That's not...that's not always true." He stops. Perhaps they were about to go on a rant about all the times people have been nice to them. But then he stops."Not all humans are like that..."He's not great at comforting people, or giving compliments. But they try anyway."I-I'm sorry you don't feel that way...but there's always gonna come a time when you meet someone who just wants to help you... who has your back, no matter what....and who cares about you and how you feel."
"They told me I was different and that humans would just hurt me your trying to hurt me!!" my whole mood has changed from earlier and he can tell
"No...I-I promise I'm not!" He says, sounding genuinely concerned."I...-I care about you..?" He says, sounding confused. Am I hurting her just by being in her presence? He thinks to himself "I'm not going to hurt you..." He sounds serious. "I promise I'm not trying to hurt you. I just- I just want to help..." There's such gentleness in his voice. they mean no harm at all.
I try breathing but it comes out fast and quick. So many thoughts in my head not stopping "but you're a human!" I say my voice shaky "I'm half human half.... Something else...." my mind keeps racing
"And yet...you're alive and you're my friend...  are we not on the same level?"He looks genuinely concerned as if he's wondering if he's doing something wrong. "Am I treating you like a freak or a monster?You aren't anything less than me," He speaks slowly, carefully "If anything you're a hundred times more amazing."
"But...." that's the only word I can make out at this moment as I'm staring off into space not looking at them not making any eye contact
  He looks at me, clearly concerned. "Hey...Hey! Snap out of it!" He says, snapping his fingers. "You need to focus.Is my presence really bothering you that much?" He looks so worried and concerned, he really doesn't want to hurt me."I'm sorry.." He looks down at his feet, as if in shame. It definitely sounded like you didn't mean anything bad by what I had said."Hey, we need to talk, okay?" He looks concerned. "You're losing it a bit.."
  I fall to the ground and this is the first time you see me cry "I'm sorry.. Ranboo" I stay there looking off into space not moving
  "Hey- Hey! It's alright.." He's standing over me and his voice is calm. His eyes are showing concern, but he's trying not to show that he is concerned."Hey look at me. Look at me!" He says, trying to get me to snap out of it, to calm down, to focus. When I don't get up or snap out of it he starts getting a little more worried, his face clearly showing this."Hey! You okay?" his voice is calm, but I can tell there's more of a sense of worry to it, now.
"We've both been through so much shit...." I wipe my face but tears keep running down I don't look up at you I just stay on the ground looking at the floor barely listening to your words or your voice
  He sits down next to me. He's sitting on his knees, his hand on my shoulder. I can feel the concern coming from him as he looks at my face. "Talk to me," he says gently and slowly. "I'm here. I want to help." He seems so sincere, almost like he means everything he's saying. His body language, the way he looks at me and the look in his eye he's completely sincere. It makes it a lot easier to trust him because it seems like he means every single one of his words.
I jumped for the second time "I just... I've never for the year that I've been in here stuck I've never had anyone and I was told by the people who did the experiments on me that humans are bad and mean and cruel and only care about themselves and when you said we had to hide from them my mind went racing I don't wanna go back even though they were right and everything they told me was right and I don't even trust myself because I'm not fully human"
"They were not right. Humans are- Can be cruel..but they can be caring too...it takes time to find caring people but they exist. I promise."He looks at me, his hand is still on my shoulder. The look in his eye is a mix of sincerity, kindness, and compassion."I'm here. You're safe. Please, trust me. I care about you..." He says, slowly.He means every single word.
"But... I can't do anything... I can't touch you.." I look up at you slowly "they told me human interaction was bad and they taught me not to touch or hug or feel anyone and they said if I did that I would get a burning feeling inside me and they hurt me with it that's why when I hugged you earlier and tried touching you that's why I had to let go"
He smiles gently at me in response to this. His face is soft, like a parent would. His next words may sound surprising but he is sincere, very much so."What matters is not what people told you. What matters is what YOU want. If you want to have physical touch, you can. If you don't feel comfortable touching people, then don't. And I'll respect that too."He smiles at me again, with kindness and compassion in his eyes."I respect you more than that." He sounds so sincere.
"Yeah but what about hiding or getting out of here?" I ask because I don't know what we're doing if were bunking here or if we're gonna try to get out or if he wants me to hug him or touch them
"Oh...that's not what I meant...I'll respect your lack of desire of physical touch."He looks at you, thinking about the situation."Um...there may be an exit in the basement..?" He seems a little unsure."If there's not we could break down some of the walls. We might get hurt, though.." - He says, still sounding a bit nervous, trying to think of a solution, trying to think of what you want. "Or...there's always the door...but the door isn't always an option..."
"Okay.... Thank you Ranboo" I slowly lay my head on your shoulder as I do the burning doesn't feel as bad as it did before "does the mask hurt you?"
*He seems surprised by the sudden touch but he gently pats your head. Like he's glad you made that choice. Like he's proud.*"No..." His next few words are gentle. Caring. Like the way he's been talking to me just now."It doesn't hurt me at all..in a good way.I actually quite like...I quite like wearing this mask as well..."Then he smiles a little. "I really want you to be happy..." - He seems sincere, like he really means it.          
"But why are there wires?" I question as I look at the wires that are attached to his mask
"Wires?" He seems confused by that. "What wires..." they sound confused.The concern and hesitation and lack of certainty is back in their voice, as well as a certain sense of nervousness."Do you mean the strap?" He asks
"Does it make it to where you can't take it off?" I question as the burning feeling that once was now is gone "I mean like do you always wear it?"
  "Ohhh! No...it's not glued on or anything."He seems a bit confused. "I can always take it off...I just like to wear it as much as I can..it's really comfortable and it- I feel as if some- like it makes me feel safe..so that's why I wear it as much as I can."they smile at me, that gentle look on his face still there, "You can always ask to see my face if you want, I won't ever say no. I promise."
"Oh no it's fine if it makes you comfortable then I won't ask I don't wanna make you uncomfortable." I say the last thing that I wanna do is make them uncomfortable "that is the last thing I wanna do"
"Are you sure?" He seems a little concerned. "It's really no problem.I mean it fine I don't look that good but if you're curious and wanna see I can show you" His voice is kind, but also firm, like he wants to make it clear that he means it. That he actually cares about the fact that it might make you comfortable."If you want to- or if you're just curious, really at any time, you can ask. No need to be scared." They sound sincere, like he doesn't want you to be uncomfortable and like he actually cares.
I drop the axe on the floor that I was holding onto very tightly "don't say that about yourself!!" I look at your hand and then I slowly put my hand on yours "we're having a wholesome moment before we have to go again and try to get out of here!" I reassured them
He smiles. The look of kindness is back. This is good. He is happy that you did this.* "Thank- you..." He says. "I-I like- I like these moments." Their eyes are kind and caring."It's good to have a small break from- from the fear. From the pain and the stress. It's good to be...normal.It's good to be happy."He's smiling. He looks a bit more comfortable now like I've helped them.
I get up and look around. I then slowly take off my hoodie "when they found me... in the forest they took me back somewhere I don't know all I remember is that they put this hoodie on me and I've kept it on ever since but..." I throw it off to the side and then I fix my shirt that I had on underneath "I don't want to... ya know" I then turn around and lift up my hair and I show him the back off my neck "see we both have wires" I then turn back around letting my hair fall back down
He stops. The look in their eyes changes from horror to shock. They are surprised. He seems a bit freaked out in a way. His face is full of confusion, and there's a clear concern in his eyes. His eyes are wide as he stares at the wires on the back of my neck."What- What are those??" He seems disturbed.
"Wires..." I walk over to you and look at the side of your mask "just like the ones on your mask"
They are quiet for a moment, but then he speaks at an incredibly slow pace. Their voice sounds almost quiet, but there's still that tone of kindness and compassion to it. "What do..- What do they do?..." He asks, quietly and slowly, sounding a little bit afraid. "What is- what is it for..?" He seems sincerely concerned, and their entire body language seems to match the tone of their voice.
I chuckle and sit back down "nothing really they are kinda like your wires but yours go into your mask mine go into the back of neck" I slowly put my arm around you trying to keep my boundaries "it's okay no worries I'll be fine Ranboo just be happy  I found out about them sooner then later"
My arm around them seems to calm him down a little. In fact he leans into me. "Does it cause you pain- are you okay.." He seems sincere, like he's concerned for me, like they are a little scared for me, like they care about me or at least my well-being. It's not just their words, it's his voice, his tone and the look in their eyes that really sells it.  They are worried about me but with everything they say they sound so genuine about it.
I breathe "think of it this way, if your wires don't seem to hurt you when you're wearing your mask then the wires that are in my neck don't hurt me either..." I pause "or at least I don't think so"
They smile a little at that. The look in his eyes is soft, but there's also that look of compassion that I'm sure that I've already noticed. It seems so real. So genuine."That's definitely a new...look on it. A positive way of thinking. You're..-You're smart. You have a good way of thinking." He sounds sincere as he looks into my eyes. The kindness is still seen in him, and their face is still calm. "You're always so...chill. So relaxed. When I'm around you, I...I feel safe."
I put a hand on his mask to keep it still and I put my other hand on one of the wires that's on his mask "they are connected to the mask... the wires that's weird why wouldn't they be connected to something else?" I pull one wire out quickly. "That didn't hurt, did it?"
The look in their eyes turns from kindness to worry. He seems concerned again. "What are you- what are you doing..!" He tries to reach out to stop me, but I've already pulled the wire off their mask "Are you hurt right now? You-You pulled out what...?" - He seems genuinely worried. The moment you pulled that wire out he seemed genuinely concerned, and their tone of voice had the tone of concern too.
"I mean no not technically I didn't really hurt my hand I just rip it out fast like a band aid.... I mean I don't know the wires have to do something right? I mean you don't feel any different right?" I go in front of you and sit down. I then look at the red lights on the front of the mask and they are flashing "woah... shit does your mask always flash like the lights do they... ya know flash a lot?"
They seem genuinely confused. He takes a moment to think about his answer.
"They-" He seems nervous, "...They don't normally flash... I...I'm not sure why they'd be doing that-" He sounds concerned."What exactly did you rip out..?" He seems scared, and he's genuinely asking.
"I just ripped out one wire from the side of your mask" I hold it up in front of him and I notice that he's just very scared and confused but when aren't they confused about something
"Oh god..." He looks at the wire, and his face is filled with horror, and disgust. He looks back up at you, and his face is filled with worry. "But why? Oh god I'm- I'm sorry..." His eyes are filled with fear right now. Like he's going to freak out or something. Or that he really cares. "Did you feel it- I mean- did you-" This sounds like it was a mistake that will change everything right now and later. He looks genuinely horrified and afraid right now.
"Wait what... feel it? Ranboo is everything okay?" I back up a tiny bit and I throw the wire to the ground "is your mask not supposed to do that? Did I do something wrong?" It seems like I did something wrong he's acting differently or at least they aren't acting like how I seen them act before
*He seems even more worried than you just were. I've seen him like this. He looks so scared, so confused , so different from the Ranboo I know . And the look on his face I've never seen him look so scared. Like he's genuinely having a panic attack. Then he takes his mask off and starts checking it over, and feeling the strap, and looking at the wires again, as if maybe he's missed something."Oh god no no no...- You didn't do anything wrong...- You were just trying to find something out, right-?"  He sounds so concerned and confused.
"Yeah yeah just trying to figure something out!" I stare at you as you look at your mask. I then get a quick glance at your face but I don't say anything about it "what does it mean when it's flashing?"
"I-I don't know.." he quickly puts his mask back on and they seem genuinely scared, panicked even. He's panicking. I've never seen them this freaked out.He never freaks out and he never panics. He always seems calm and collected, calm and cool, like nothing phases him. But not now. His eyes are filled with pure horror. "Oh god...- are you okay..?"he asks again for the third time his mind just seems to be racing everywhere and his voice sounds scared and confused. I can tell that he still actually cares. "I-I'm sorry, I-I promise I've never seen it flash like that before.."
"I'm okay! Are you okay I mean I didn't hurt you did I? You don't feel different or that something has changed? I'm so sorry Ranboo" I watch as you slowly put your mask back on and it's still flashing
  He's still freaking out. He's still so scared. He still looks genuinely panic but he looks so concerned for himself and me as well. I've never seen him like this. He's terrified and panicking, like he has absolutely no idea what to do and he's afraid of breaking some weird law or something. "I-I feel fine..- but- but oh no..- oh no..I-" He starts to pace back and forth as they can tell from the look on my face that the mask hasn't stopped blinking.
  "Ran" I say for the first time maybe it's a new nickname who knows "it's gonna be okay you're fine don't worry if you feel something or it feels different from before tell me and I can help you"
He takes a deep breath. He seems to be calming down a little bit. Their eyes are still filled with a sense of panic. And the concern and care is still there. A bit of calmness is there too."I feel...I feel fine. But I-" He stares at me "It's just flashing like that- Is it supposed to be like that?" He sounds confused. Like he doesn't know any better or he just doesn't remember anything.
As I slowly scoot forward up to you I notice the mask lights go back to a normal solid red "I don't know" I look at him in the eyes since I can't really see his mouth or facial expression "Ran its okay calm down I'm here you're fine okay"
  his expression quickly changes from scared and confused to a more calm and relaxed one. He seems really comforted by me being by him but that still doesn't explain what just happened. He's glad that I'm here. I can really tell that I'm calming them down right now.their eyes are still filled with the sense of some fear but not a lot,the caring and the kindness also seems more prominent now. They take a deep breath."Thank you...." He sounds a lot calmer now. A bit of fear is still there, but the kindness is also there. The kindness is really prominent right now.  "Thank you.Thank you for being there."
"It's fine we both got stuff to figure out you're okay" I meant every word that i said I mean I've been through so much and he has as well
He smiles at that even though I can't see their smile. "Thank you..for understanding." His eyes are filled with kindness. He's so kind and understanding.I've never seen them react like this. I've never seen him so afraid and so anxious. But they are kind despite it. I'm glad that I'm here with him now. Their kindness is really prominent right now. Not the calmness and coolness they usually have. He's filled with empathy, and not the coldness you were used to. "You're a good person,Rose."
"Wait..." I get up quickly as I think of something I then run out to the original room that we started in I then walk up to the front door and open it I walk though and it closes behind me before they can even see where I went
  He looks shocked. "Rose.." they ask, confused, but genuinely "Are you okay? What- Why are you doing that?" He sounds kind of concerned, like he really cares. "Why did you go..where did you go..?" A moment passes and his mask starts blinking again as his tone changes. You know, to a cold tone. So does his face. And his eyes. He goes right back to like how he was before. Like he's not really there..or at the very least, not in the head space he was just in.
"Just come here! To the main room that we had started in!!" I yell as I open the door to wait to see him walk by or to wait to hear any indication that he nearby or close
His mask then goes back to normal solid red "Alright- alright! I'm coming!" He sounds a bit scared. He's never heard you speak like that. Ever. He follows your instructions. He comes into the room that he started in before. "What'd you want to tell me? You're kinda scaring me right now-" His tone is back to being chill and caring but I can tell that they are concerned.
I see them and then I quickly grab his hand bringing him though the door as he comes though it quickly shuts and he falls down on me "I found our way out.." I say try to make him feel a tid bit better
