Dinner has ended and I am finally back in my room. Since I have decided to go and visit a certain survivor, I am actually quite panicking inside.

Pacing back and forth with incoherent mumbling and I am currently biting my left thumb.

"Let's not do this. Right, let's just have Burke fix it." I said with resolution. I mean, I at least try and see if the mirror world works in my room, right?

But as I was walking towards my camera, my feet stopped and I went back to walking back and forth.

"No. I am too scared to do that. Remember when Burke fixed Mary's mirror?" I am talking to myself now.

The last time Burke fixed something was Mary's mirror and the error he made was gender-bending Mary. If Mary passes through her mirror, she would become a man and it made everyone of us shocked and amazed at the same time.

"Also when he fixed Wu Chang's umbrella? It made rain wherever it went and this made Wujiu angry." I am telling myself all the deeds Burke made so that I can have another option.

Ah! Why am I so indecisive. I have wasted fifteen minutes with my thoughts and it's currently 9:37 pm.

"I should just go. I did say this will be the last time I am doing this." I finally said to myself and opened up my closet door.

I then opened up the small door inside and passed through to continue going to the attic.

I am currently crawling towards Aesop's room while checking every hole if I'm in the right room.

"That's weird. Why do I feel like the hole got bigger?" I whispered to myself as I stopped at a hole as the same size as my fist.

"You can push it open, you know. I made it into a small opening for you." I can hear Aesop on the other side.

That means he knew I'm here. Slowly pushing the wall, it did opened up half a meter wide and I squeezed passed through it.

I really thought I would fall because it's above the bedroom door but to my surprised, Aesop actually had a ladder installed.

As soon as I stepped inside his room, I got speechless at how big and clean it is. This place is much bigger than my room.

At first I thought was a gray wall was actually a lighter shade of blue that's close to being gray. He also changed the curtains to constellations and it made his room as beautiful as the night sky.

His dolls are still being displayed and I just realized a new survivor is added to the set.

"Is this that survivor with a ahovel?" I asked as I picked it up. I actually did not notice where Aesop was standing because I am loving at how detailed and beautiful the dolls are.

"Yep." He breathe into my ear and I feel it going red because of the heat.

I just now realize how close we are that I can feel his chest behind me. I can also feel that touching my back.

His posture got me unexpected that I jumped a little making me feel his being from behind.

Good lord, he is big.

I moved away from him by taking his hand away from the table and I sat down on his bed.

He is now wearing his pajama, the blue one with stars, with a few buttons opened on his chest area.

Is it getting hot here or is it just me?

He is not wearing his mask and I can see his beautiful face perfectly.

He removed the chair that was beside the table and moved in front of me before sitting down.

"You do know that it's forbidden for a survivor and hunter to interact, right?" Aesop asked placing his left foot over his right.

"You're the one who talked to me first." I pouted at him which made him raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? You're actually the one who peeked first." He said with a smirk.

"All I did was peek and left. I did not even talked to you then." I reasoned which earned a smirk from the survivor.

"You know? For someone with anxiety, you sure are expressive." I added as I crossed my arms in front of me.

He laughed at my remark and it was a beautiful sound.

"We have known each other for a long time, Joseph."

The way he says my name is so alluring, it's seductive.

Is he seducing me? Granted I don't know anything about love but why does it sounded so sexual if he says it.

"I still hate interacting with the new ones though but Andrew is better than Luca." He added.

Does he think I know who the new ones were? I don't even remember everyone's name and only their titles.

"Enough with the chitchat, Aesop. How do you plan to fix my camera?" I said diverting the topic back to my camera.

I mean, it is the reason why I am here in the first place.

"Don't you have a hunter who fixes things?" He asked, not answering my question.

"That hunter experiments with things too. I don't want to become his lab rat." I explained and he smiled at that.

The smile smile he is giving isn't a sweet one but a sinister one.

"So you're willing to be a lab rat for me? To work under me?" He said emphasizing something.

"Don't play games with me, Aesop. I need to fix my camera soon." I said avoiding more questions from him.

"Fine. Tracy said she will help but if it's fix, you have to do me a favor." He said, now being serious. He has a smirk on his face and why does it feel like he's gonna do something bad?

"What favor?" I asked.

"You'll know soon if you agree." He said, surely not giving me any hints.

I mean, I am sure it's not something bad since he's a survivor. But with our setting, why does it feel like he's the hunter and I am the survivor he is chasing?

I think I'm just paranoid and overthingking things again.

"As long as it does not expel me from the mansion and kills me, then fine." I finally answered after a few moments of silence.

"It's a deal, my dear Joseph. No turning back." He said as if he has won the lottery.

Why do I feel like I signed myself with the devil?
