Agent 3's POV

"Wow 3, I didn't know you were such a great rapper," 8 told me, completely forgetting about the actual task at hand. "Now can we try and question the S. Octoling?" I asked rolling my eyes. 8 muttered an "oh right" and walked over to where the S.Octoling was tied up. She reached her hand towards the gloves and they were met with a slap from a blue-ish green hand. "P-please don't take it off! T-they will..h-he will..k-kill me I-if you d-do.." the girl exclaimed trying to block the goggles with her hands. Every time 8 reached for them, the sanitized octoling would slap 8's hand away. "Hey, we just want to talk," I said walking up to her. I got down on one knee so we will be eye to eye..or would be eye to eye if she didn't have those goggles on. "Who is he? Or the person that will supposedly kill you?" I asked. She started trembling as soon as I said he and ignored me instead of answering my question. I stepped back and gave her some space but 8 did the opposite.

8's POV

The poor girl started to tremble when 3
asked her question, I felt bad. Instead of giving her some space. I went over and hugged her. I can tell that she was shocked by the sudden action I made and hesitantly put her arms around me, hugging me back. She started sobbing except no tears came out, it was just many hiccups and gibberish but I didn't mind.
I turned around and looked at 3 who adverted my gaze, she seemed to be blushing..maybe she was jealous? I gave 3 a "come on" hand motion and she moved her head in a no motion. Ilooked at her for a little bit and eventually, that was enough for her to join in the hug. She walked over and put her arms around the two of us, she was noticeably stiff but that was to be expected. After the group hug, 3 walked over to a corner and allowed me to try and get some information from the S.Octoling. "Uh...Hi, I'm 8 what's your name?" I asked, "m-my name is...I-I don't remember m-my name" she stuttered out. "Oh..so we're in the same boat then, we have both lost our memories," I said back, hoping she would find some sort of comfort that we can relate to each other. "Y-you don't remember y-your name e-either? I see..." she said. I was going to ask her about him but judging by her reaction it wouldn't be the best idea. I stood up and reached out my hand for her to grab it. She looked at me confused for a second and then realized what I wanted her to do. She grabbed my hand and we walked over to 3. I then grabbed 3's hand which was cold. She started blushing, and together we walked out the deep sea metro.
