That sent a shiver down my spine! The way he said that terrified me! Such loathing, such bitterness! I don't remember Martin being nearly this dark or creepy, his deep voice only added to the creepiness... that was straight up horror movie stuff!

...

What did his mother do to him to deserve that?

Well, it's not like I could just ask that, judging from his face it was pretty traumatising, and I don't want to bring that up.

I've always had a negative opinion on Martin, he's very rude and he's pretty stupid too, not as stupid as me, but still stupid, but I'm sure he has a reason for all of this. It's clear he has some problems. If Julie really loves him that much, then I'm sure he's not that bad.

"Would you like to join us? We're looking for a safe place to stay, or look for a government or army worker that might be able to take us somewhere safe, would you like to join us?" I asked.

"I really don't know... I'm so terrified of the outside world... I feel like I'd have a panic attack if I went outside...".

"Please please please please pleasssse!" Julie pleaded with much pleading.

"Fine," He responded. She wore him down quickly! Julie is very stubborn, he should know that by now, so it's no wonder he just gave up. Martin is stubborn, but not Julie-level stubborn.

Martin slowly stepped out the door, the poor guy looked like he was going to faint! Not just from fear, but hunger too.

"Here honey! I have your favourite! Bacon! Eat up! You're so skinny it makes me want to cry!".

He didn't complain, his eyes lit up and he chomped on the bacon like a certain character from a certain show ate potatoes!

"Hey, couldn't help but notice that when you introduced yourself, you didn't do it our style, go on, tell me one thing you like and one thing you hate!". Shaun exclaimed.

"Why should I?" Martin replied.

"Well, it's just how we do things, if you don't do things our way, we won't be your friend! And you do not want to be my enemy! Trust! Last guys blind now... and I'm banned from that library..." Shelly told him surprisingly sternly for her cheerfulness.

"Hey, you're following us!" Julie yelled.

"No, it's fine, one thing I like is when other people mind their own goddamn business and one thing I hate is you two!".

Nobody knew how to respond to that...
