   It's been about a week since Moondrop started doing naptime again. He still seems different but maybe it's for the better. It's 11 AM and Y/N was dropped off at daycare, again.

Y/N sulked as she crawled out of the ball pit and walked over to Sun who was ready to greet her. "Sunshine! Is everything alright? You seem down!" Y/N nodded, "Yeah..."

Sundrop frowned, "Well, why are you so down?" Y/N wiped her eyes and looked up at him, "My mom told me that today is my last day here because we're moving..."

"WHAT??" Sun yelled out, startling Y/N. "Why were you only told today?! When are you moving?! How long until we see you again?!" Y/N hugged Sun tightly, "My mom said it was a last minute decision. We're leaving in two days. And it could be weeks, months, years, decades! I might never see you again!"

Sundrop hugged her back, "Well we better make your day today, the best one EVER!!" That got a laugh from Y/N. That's what started their day.

Sun and Y/N hung out for most of the day. Of course, Sunny couldn't just neglect the other children, but his main focus was Y/N and only Y/N. Yet soon, it became naptime.

Y/N smiled as she ran over to turn off the lights. She watched as the lights turned off in rows, just like always. She watched as Sundrop changed into Moondrop and all the kids stared in awe.

Moondrop had looked around for Y/N when he appeared. Y/N ran up to him and hugged him, "Moony! I have something to tell you!" Moon smiled, "Can it wait until after naps?" Y/N shook her head. Moondrop chuckled, "One moment then."

A wire came down and hooked into Moon's back and he lifted into the air. The other kids all got into position and Moon tucked them in while Y/N waited.

Eventually, Moon finished and landed down in front of Y/N, "So, what happened?" Y/N hugged him again, "I'm moving... it's my last day here..." Moon was still for a moment and Y/N let go of him. She stared at him, "Moon...?"

There seemed to be what looked like a small glitch in his eye going off. "Moon?" Y/N called again. Moondrop turned to her, "Oh, sorry... That's really sad to hear...."

Y/N continued to stare at his eye, "Are you okay...?" Moon nodded, "Of course! Why wouldn't I be?" Y/N shrugged, "I don't know... You've just been... different."

Moon's head tilted to the side, "Different? Different how?" Y/N studied him before answering, "Your personality has changed and you haven't been like yourself since I... since I installed the device..."

Moon bent down to her, "Oh? Well, that was with the virus. Unfiltered. I was able to say absolutely anything or do anything. Even say naughty words." Y/N nodded, "So... Which would be the real you?"

Silence. Moondrop stood up straight, "I guess you could say the unfiltered me is the real me. Especially if I could be how I want and do what I want." Y/N looked down at the floor. "Don't worry though! I'd rather be like this than have everyone scared of me!" Y/N nodded slowly.

"Come." Moondrop walked over to one of the sleeping mats on the floor. Y/N slowly walked over, "Aren't we going to hang out?" Moon shook his head, "Naptime is no time for play!"
