Readers POV
I follow Tomos gesture and walk into the room he popped out of when he greeted me. I was quite shocked as the room was pretty cool but at the same time, still eerie and cold.
"Wow, look at this place Tomo!"
I giggle in excitement as I grew more interested about this place. Turning round to get Tomos attention, I realise he was interested in the items on the shelves, so I don't bother him, deciding to continue examining the intact bed. It was doing pretty well for its age.
As I look around more, I notice something on the floor that didn't match the aesthetic of the room. Looking more, I realise it was more than one. So I crouch down to pick it up in order to get another look.
It was a mouth guard and dark copper steam punk-ish type goggles. Having seen this, my mind instantly snaps back to when that murderer known as Toby wore these.
Dropping them in a fright, I panic and stand to my feet quickly. Although, I stand too quick, causing me to stumble back landing on someone, causing me to fall to the floor, landing on whatever I had crashed into.

As I steady myself over what happened, I hear a groan from underneath me. Looking down to the floor as I lay on my stomach, I see Tomo under me on his back, causing our chest to press against each other.
"Oh my gosh! Tomo I'm so sorry!"
I try to rush to stand to my feet but something grabs my arms, stopping me. Getting a better look, I notice it was Tomo, gripping onto my arms tight to hold me still.
I watch him in confusion as his grip tightens a little more around my upper arms.
"Tomo? What are you doing?"
I ask, a little shaky and his eyes seem to lock with mine. There was a moment of silence before he sighs, looking away, letting go of my arms, allowing me to stand. Once I do, I reach out a hand to help him up, which he takes.
"Sorry for falling on you Tomo.."
"Y-Yeah, what was that *tic* all about?"
Scratching the back of my head embarrassed, I just exhale deeply before explaining. Remembering the reason for my fear.
"I remember now! Tomo we need to leave right now!"
He appeared shocked by what I had said, he froze during the process of brushing himself off, his eyes widening as he watches the panic on my features.
"W-What? W-Why?"
He asks. His poor stutter getting the best of him. I did feel bad for him but what could I do? Nothing.
"I came into contact with a murderer the other day and I just found his head gear! I feel he may be near! Can we please go!"
Tomo seemed even more shocked than before as he looked to the floor beside me, noticing the head gear. Causing him to mumble something under his breath, which I didn't quite hear.

Ticci Toby's POV
I look beside [Name] on the floor to see my goggles and mouth mask.
"Fuck."
I mumble quietly to myself as I try to think of what to say. I could see on her facial expression that she was scared. Do I lie and say he's not here? - I mean, he obviously is as he is me.. or do I let us leave..
