This someone was a person with the teaching ability. A teacher. Well, he ended up with an assistant because all the teachers had higher floors, but they would do. Our boy lay in wait, then pounced. After tying the assistant up, she screamed. He simply dragged her somewhere quiet.
She eventually calmed down after she saw the boy wouldn't hurt her. He sat in front of her. "Who are you? What do you want?" He holds up a finger. "One? Oh, one question." He nods. She's very confused. Her kidnappers a child, and he's answering questions. Do kidnappers normally do that?
He sees she's not trying to run, and unties her. She looks curious. "Why?" With difficulty, as he never needed to talk to someone, says: "Ropes hurt." "Why did you kidnap me?" "Need teacher." "Teacher? But all children from floors 1 to 14 get to go to school..."
"From under. I'm a negative." She looks worried. "You...you're a negative?" He nods.
"Whats your name?" "I have no name. Only territory leaders have names." "It's hard talking to you with no name, so how about I give you one? It will be my gift before I die." "Die? You cant." "I'm afraid anyone who meets a negative receives the death sentence, unless they are a teacher or a sealer. Since I'm neither, I will die." "I'm sorry." The boy says, looking down.
"It's okay. I'm old. I would've died soon anyhow. Now about you're name... hmm..."
