Following the soft cries, Zane stands in front of a bedroom door in confusion, surprise and deep concern.
"(Name). . . Is that you?"
Zane knocks on the door, unsure whether he should enter or not. You do not answer, but he could hear you try to hush yourself.
"I-I'm fine," your voice chokes out.
"What has you upset?" Zane asks as he attempts to open the door. He knows your lying. "(Name)? Do you want me to get Wu or Nya?"
"No! Go away!" You scream not wanting him to see you red faced and teary-eyed.
As Zane steps inside your room, you throw a pillow at his head and dive further under the covers.
"Get out, Z-Zane!" You hiccup getting angrier and even more upset at everything. Your head buzz from all the crying and your eyes sting each time you blink. Yelling at the nindroid only increased your pain.
I'm a terrible person, you thought bitterly.
"(Name) . . ."
Zane watches the lump under the covers squirm. He stares with wide, curious eyes. Normally, you were more in check with your emotions similar to himself. It was rare to see you in such a state.
But is that normal? Zane has never seen the others act in such a pitiful way.
As he looks on, Zane frowns. He doesn't enjoy this new side of you.
"(Name)," he sits beside you making you shriek and scoot away.
"Go away! G-get out! Ge-et out of my r-room!" You scream feeling yourself shake.
"Please listen to me," Zane ignores your protests. "I do not know what has you so sad. But I know whatever it is is not worth shutting yourself away from everyone especially Wu and the others. We are your friends and we do not want you suffering alone. You are part of our family. Please do not hide away your emotions from any of us. We will always be with you. Do not worry, I am here."
You hiccup, "L-Liar!"
Zane's face pulls to a small frown. "(Name), please listen. I would not lie to you."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" You shriek covering your ears. Everything he says, you know is a lie. All of it is. He is nothing but a sick, twisted lie. "Get out! Get out!"
"But why-?"
Tired and angry, you stood up on your bed throwing the blanket behind you. You turned and face where the nindroid should be.
"Because you aren't real!"
And he's not. None of them were. They were all just made up.
