--- Jimmy's POV ---
"Uhm... Johnny...?" "Yes, Jimmy?" I looked down and played with the crayon in my hands. "I'm sorry... for hurting your brother..." He sighed and looked down aswell, "It's fine. He's still alive. And I doubt you hurt him that badly... he isn't that frail. Even though mother thinks he is.." I nodded, looking closer at the crayon.
Something's wrong. This crayon... it's red. I can see that it is.. but I can't read that it is. Why can't I read that?! I got up and ran to the nearest bookshelf, grabbing a random book. I opened to a random page and looked over it, trying to decipher the symbols printed on the paper. "Jimmy? What're you doing??" I closed the book and grabbed and other one as Johnny got up and walked over to me. "Trying to read! I-I can't understand the words!! I can't read anymore!!" "What??" He looked at the book and looked back to me, "Why not?" "I DON'T KNOW!!" I tossed the book onto the nearby couch and ran down the stairs, looking for something else to try to read. "Jimmy!!" Johnny chased me throughout the house and I grabbed everything with words. "Jimmy, stop!" I stopped and sat down on the floor, causing Toast to nearly topple over me. He regained his balance and crouched next to me. "You said you and your brother were sharing a body, right?" I nodded and hugged my knees. "Alright... then stay here. If I'm right, I might be able to explain why you can't read anymore.."
He ran off to another room then came back with a box looking thing. A machine of some sort. "Now, I need you to stay still..." he took some sort of tool off of the machine. It almost looked like a toothbrush. A metal toothbrush... I wouldn't want to brush my teeth with that! He waved the brush at me a few times then looked at his machine. "Huh..." he tapped the screen then looked closer. "What?" I got up and walked next to him. "Nothing... I just don't understand these readings.." "You can't read either?" He shook his head, "No, I can read. I'm just confused, that's all. Anyway, let me explain..."
