304 sat alone in their empty home, although it felt strange to call an almost empty void 'home'. It felt more like a prison than anything. There wasn't really much to do besides watch one of the television. Why were there so many televisions? They honestly had no clue.

They let their mind wander, and recount an event that had happened recently. 304 was just chilling as much as they could in a place almost devoid of anything, when suddenly a portal appeared. Two hands emerged from it before grabbing them from behind. They have always hated being touched without being asked beforehand, so they instantly started struggling.

After that all went down, the invidual behind the portal introduced themself as Hourglass. And they thought having a bunch of numbers for a name was weird. 

But after basic introductions, they explained that both of them have some extreme power, and responsibilities alongside them. Just thinking back on this conversation made them childishly whine, they didn't wish for any of this. 

The last thing 304 remembers from the conversation was that they were going to meet two others. Oh no. When was that supposed to happen again? They don't know.

Their mind started to race. 'I was probaly suppose to meet them days ago but didn't remember to come' they thought up. 'They probaly all got there fifteen minutes ago and are waiting on me, because I just seem to let everybody down' their mind panicked. 'Or it could of course be starting right now!'

They grew anxious at all the possibilities, thinking they're being nothing but a letdown and a burden as always. They started scratching their arms, scratching hard until the skin was damaged. It was bad for them, but it's the only way they could think of to attempt to calm down.

It wasn't long before they started sobbing, and they don't know how long they just sat there while crying. A familiar fuzziness tried to make its way in, to wrap 304's brain in comfort. But they tried to fight off the feeling, yet it seemed to grow stronger the more they fought it.

Hourglass opened the portal and peeked their head through. "Remember when I said I was going to introduce you to the others? Well today's that day!" they announced, before looking down and seeing the one they came here for crying while repeatedly scratching themself.

Having no clue what to do, they thought maybe the others would have an idea. So they managed to pick them up and bring them through the portal. While being carried, 304 seemed to latch onto them, perhaps in fear of falling off.

"Uh hey, I don't know what's going on with them but I'd like some help.." Hourglass said to the other two, Aorta and Erwin. 

Aorta brought in a tissue box to wipe away their snot and tears. Eventually they could see the room well enough. But once they spotted Erwin, they darted immediately towards them. They picked up the cat before softly hugging them. It sometimes sucked that the other beings they knew were humanoid and they were just a housecat, but at least they got some special treatment from it.

Wiping away some still remaining tears with their sleeve, 304 just looked down on them as they continued with the hugging. "Kitty.." they mumbled in an appreciative manner.

"'Kitty'..? What's going on?" the confused Hourglass asked. As always, Erwin was the one with the answer, despite the fact they were currently being hugged like there's no tomorrow.

"Seems like age regression, it's a coping mechanism where somebody goes into a younger mindset than before." they explained to the rest of the room. 

"Well then I think we should wait until they're not regressed to introduce ourselves!" Aorta proposed, getting nods in agreement. Even the little one nodded, probaly copying the others.

They then stopped hugging Erwin like their life depended on it, and began just petting them. But it would be kind of hard to exactly describe it as petting. It was more that they were using their finger to draw out imaginary patterns into their fur. Seemed pretty relaxing for the both of them.

Noticing how 304 seemed to use their cat companion as a canvas, Aorta brought over some crayons and paper. They brought them over to the room's table before sitting them down in a chair. Having the art supplies in front of them, they immediately began drawing as their feet playfully kicked from under the table.

Sitting down next to them, Hourglass looked over at their progress. Despite the figures being drawn a tad sloppily, they could definitely tell what it was suppose to be. "Aww, you drew a portrait of all of us?" they playfully asked the little.

All they got was an excited "yep!" in response.
