The Enigma of Love

8

   You had finished breakfast, lunch, and dinner a while ago, so you assumed it was pretty late at night, late enough for every personality to be asleep and for Hedwig to come retrieve you.
   You started to fear that he may have forgotten about his promise, and that you'd never get to see the window you've been thinking about all day.
   Just as you were about to lose hope and go to bed, your door creaked open.
   In stepped Hedwig, in a sneaking stance. He put his finger over his lips in a shush and motioned for you to follow him.
   You did so, and snuck down the hallway. Even though there was nobody to be cautious of, you decided to play the part and pretend there was.
   You both crept down the long white hallway, passed the kitchen, the restroom, and two other locked doors (probably closets, you thought). You tiptoed up the stairs until you  finally reached Hedwig's room.

   "Here we are!"

   You looked all around the room, where was the window?
   Hedwig walked over to the CD player and pressed play, it began blasting some kind of EDM, so much for being quiet!
   He started aggressively dancing to the music, you just stood and watched. The dance was a jumble of jumping, arm waving, and shaking. You would probably have been laughing had you not been preoccupied with disappointment about the missing window.
Hedwig finished dancing and switched off the CD player. He gave a sheepish grin and shoved his hands into the pockets of his jumpsuit.

"Cool, huh?"

"Uh, yeah, totally! I thought you said your CD player was under your window.."

"It is! Look!"

He walked over to a piece of paper above his CD player, it had a drawing of a window and a sunny scene.

"Now it's closed, now it's open!"

He flipped up the first paper to reveal another underneath, this one had a drawing of an open window. He flipped it up and down, up and down.

"Now it's closed, open, closed, open, closed.."

He smiled at you

"Uh wow, Hedwig, that's really cool.."

Your voice was quivering.

"What's wrong? You didn't think it was a real window, did you? So you could leave, etcetera?"

Hedwig was becoming increasingly upset as he was realizing the true purpose of your wanting to come to his room.

"I think you should go back to your room."

"No! Hedwig please let me stay!"

"That's not a good idea.."

You started grabbing at his arm in desperation, you wanted to stay, you didn't want to go back to being locked in that awful room of yours.

"Please Hedwig, show me something cool in your room! Let me stay!"

"Shhhh you're gonna get us in trouble!"

"Just show me!"

"Alright! Here it is!"

He held out a walkie-talkie, you took it.

"Wow, Hedwig, this is so cool.."

"I know, you can hear people talking and they don't even know you're listening."
