"Hey Masky! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"What do you want, brat?"

"I heard Jane telling Sally a story about a forbidden love here at our mansion! Tell me!!"

What the young proxy said made the older proxy to stop doing his work and felt stiff.

It felt like a pile of bricks was thrown at him as well as a bucket of cold water being splashed. He remembered someone told him 'History will repeat itself' but he never knew it'll be this soon.

The older proxy clenched his fists as he closed his eyes, even if he's wearing his mask he knows the young proxy can see how he became stiff.

Toby pouted and gave a soft glare. He really want to hear the story. No one dared to even mention that story to him and for him, it was unfair.

He was about to throw a tantrum like a child would do when Masky stood up and towered over the young proxy.

"What did you heard?" A simple question that made Toby shiver as he heard the cold voice but he wasn't sure if he heard a hint of hope at his tone

But he regained his composure and looked at him with pride. As if he won a battle against an army.

"I dunno." He proudly said and bit his tongue when Masky whacked his head

"Hey! I can't feel pain but hey!" He whined stuck his tongue out

"You idiot." He heard the older proxy muttered but his eyes went wide when he noticed a droplet dropping at Masky's chin, as if the older proxy is crying

"Hey." Toby started with a gentle voice, "I just wanted to know about that story, am I forbidden to hear it?" He asked and tried to touch the masked man but before he can, he was suddenly being pushed outside the room

A sudden close of the door and a lock was heard and before Toby can say something, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turn around and saw Hoodie.

"What happened?" The hooded man asked and tilted his head a bit

"I just asked him." He said and slouched, feeling guilty as he may have made the older proxy to cry

"What question?" Before he can answer, a woman dressed in black came together with a little girl wearing a pink dress. They both stopped and looked at there direction with a confused glance.

"Is there something wrong?" Jane asked

But Toby felt his tongue tied as he tried to answer Hoodie's question. His heart beating fast, cold sweat trickling down his cheek, as his lips quivered. And before he knew it, Hoodie went forward and wiped something off his face.

He flinched and touched his cheek. Eyes wide and mouth slightly gaping.

"Toby. Hey, are you alright?"

"What's going on?" Jane asking once more with irritation but with concern

"Toby!" Sally cried out his name as she sa whis tears

Why am I crying?

Why am I so desperate to hear that story?

Why do I feel like I can't breathe whenever I mention it?

Why can't they tell me?

The questions he badly wants to be answered but he knew not to even hint one question to the others.

"I just...w-wanted to h-hear that s-story." He uttered and his tics becoming worse, lungs felt like it was being locked as he can't breathe, his shoulders starting to become stiff, as he's starting to see darkness slowly invading his sight

And before he can continue. He felt his body going down. And a loud thud can be heard.

"TOBY!!" All of the three cried out his name, Masky flinched by the sudden sound outside his room but didn't dare to go outside

"My mind will not change. Unless any of you will tell me a reason why."

"This is so unfair!"

"All they did was to love each other!"

"My dear children, all of you must learn that they are no easy way to love. Now go back to your rooms and rest, Toby will introduce himself tomorrow morning."

"Yes sir."

°°°

"Who...are you?"

"...my name is Masky."

"Oh. That's a w-weird n-name."

°°°

"Jane! Tell me that story again, pretty please!"

"Alright, alright Sally. Of course I will. Now...

...Slenderman gave us a rule. We shall not start any attachments to our victims or targets. But a proxy of Slenderman did, they just met one day and the young boy asked him...

°°°

"Who are you?"

"My name is Timothy."

"Oh. Hi Timmy."

...the young boy gave a bright smile as he went forward...

...the killer was about to ask but felt his tongue tied as he felt the soft embrace of the young boy...

"My name is Tobias Eren Rogers! You can call me Toby!"
