Your eyes well up and you immediately wrap your arms around her as she gasps quietly. "You're interesting..." she mumbles in a slightly high-pitched voice. You recoil from your hug a bit to look at her as you blush. "S-sorry, I just-!" you blurt out. "I'm happy to see another kid here, I guess.." "Do you..?" she trails off. "What?" "...do you remember?" She asks. You just stare at her quietly for a bit before asking. "What do you-?" "Like, your life. From before?" she asks. "Or just, try and tell me your name.." "My name?" you laugh a bit. "That's easy, silly! I-" you break off as you try and grasp the word but... you simply...just, don't remember. "I-I can't-" you stumble on your words. She puts a hand on my shoulder. "It's okay. It's normal to not remember..." she says, comfortingly. "At least, I think." She puts both her hands on your shoulder. "Wait! Just come up with something, like I did." She smiles excitedly. "It could be anything! Like-like TIMOTHY!"
"Seriously?" You tilt your head. "That's such a weird name." You think for a second, trying to figure out a nickname. "n/n! (Nickname) Yea, that's what I'll call myself.." "Cool." She giggles. "I'm six." "Six, six, si-" "okay, stop that is not what it means-" "Then why?" "I just...I dunno, let's just go.." she mumbles embarrassed. "Go? Where?" "I dunno, we'll just like, keep going until find a way outta here!" she answers, hopping to the ground as you notice you were standing on a garbage can this whole time. Ew. "Here? Like...the Nowhere?" "No, the Maw." "You mean...the boat?" She tilts her head. "There's a lot of things you don't know, huh." She shrugs before turning and running forward, into the darkness. "H-Hey, wait UPP!" You yell out, jumping down before taking off after her.
six, huh...
