A knock on the door. Lily, surprised, approached and slowly opened the peephole to see who was outside. Empty. Lily slowly opened the door and looked around. There was no one there. She looked down and saw a letter. She picked it up and began to read.
- "Dear Lily. I know you miss someone and think they're dead but I know where they are. They're here, near your house. They're sitting on a bench" - Lily read aloud.
She put the letter in her pocket and locked the door. She started walking towards the nearest bench. She saw a small boy, over 10 years old, and her eyes widened.
- Max?!
Max looked at her and got up from the bench excitedly. He walked over to Lily and hugged her.
- I missed you Lily!
Lily looked at him in a daze but after a second she hugged him too.
- I missed you too. You gave us a big scare, you know?
- I know, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
- No, it's okay. I know you didn't want this. Calm down.
- And where's Theo?
Lily looked at him and saw the expression on his face. He was stressed, like he knew something they didn't.
- He's supposedly missing.
- Oh no! How so?
- I don't know - Lily told the truth. She never liked lying, so she usually told the truth.
Max, saddened, wanted to go home, but Lily stopped him.
- Why don't you stay with me for a while? I remember you haven't been to my place yet, and I promised you.
- Yes! I've always wanted to see your room!
- Okay. Just don't touch the nail polishes.
- Yay!
Max, pleased, started running to the front door. Lily smiled warmly and started following him to the cream-colored house with a black roof.

Leo slowly opened the door to his house. He knew what awaited him. A serious talk with his father. He closed the door behind him, and quietly entered his room. He quickly put his backpack on the bed, and sat at his desk, thinking about what he should do. Suddenly, he saw a note on the floor. He slowly bent down, picked it up, looking at it. It was a drawing that Freddy had made. Leo suddenly missed his friends, his robots, his normal life. Nothing would ever be the same again.
The boy put the note back in the drawer in his desk, and sat there thinking. What if he went to find his friends? What if he found Freddy?
