(Y/N) POV

We walked through a hallway that had light grey walls and brown doors on each side of the hall way, at the end of the hallway was a bright light. But I was to far away to make out what was behind it.

I noticed the blue haired boy fidgeting, "Are you alright." I asked him sounding monotone in a way. He jumped quite harshly causing me to flinch. He stopped in the middle of the hallway shaking a bit. "Y-y-y-yeah, I-I-I'm alrig-al-alright." He stuttered out, what on earth? He's a stuttering mess...am I really that scary? I don't mean to be. It's just difficult to do things on my own and put out emotions with words....I glanced down at the boy still frozen shaking in place. I cleared my throat causing him to jump once more, "R-r-right, I-I-I'm s-s-s-sorry!" He yelled out loudly then quickly covered his mouth. He looked like he was on the verge of tears at this point.

I've never been good with kids or people in general, I sighed and looked around for a moment then back at the boy, "Uhm...I'm sorry. Uh, what's your name...and uh. Why are you scared..." I mentally slapped myself for being so awkward. He took a moment and thought before answering, " M-my name is H-h-harvest.." I nod in reply, "A-and i-I-it's because...." He stopped, and his voice was replaced with soft sobs and tears running down his cheeks. Naturally I panicked and looked around then back at him. I took in a breath and bent down slightly, he looked to be 4'7 or 4'8.

I looked at him once more, tears flooding from his eyes. I nervously placed my hand on his head, causing him to flinch and stop his waterfall of sadness and fear. He looked up at me seemingly shocked. I pat his head lightly, I'm new to this whole comforting thing. I tried to give him my best smile, but it just turned into a strange, awkward lopsided grin. I am guessing he noticed my horrible attempt at a smile since he laughed. I lightly sighed but that was quickly replaced with a quiet chuckle. "So, may I ask why your so afraid of me?" I asked calmly, he looked hesitant to speak but took in a deep breath and nodded. I stood up due to my knees starting to hurt. "I-it's be-because, well-it's. U-u-usually a-all of the r-r-re-representative ca-candidates a-are all scary...and angry, mean....and w-when I heard y-your voice...I-I-it sounded l-like you were a-a-angry at me..." He finished off with small tears falling down his eyes. I nervously chuckled in my mind, 'so I did scare him..' I looked back down at him and crouched back down to wipe his tears, he flinched once I touched his cheek but relaxed some when he realized I wasn't going to hurt him. "I apologize if I came off like that, I won't harm you." I gave him a weak smile. He looked like he would cry again. And he did something I never accounted for.

He gave me a hug in that moment. I tensed up. I felt panicky but I let him lightly cry on my shoulder. I can't reject this, it's by habit. So I let him hug me. He took a step back and released me from the hug. He gave me a bright smile, to which I gave a soft grin and a nod back to him. I stood back up, " Lead the way Harvest." He nodded and we continued walking. We continued walking but turned before I could get a good glance on what had been passed the light at the end of the hallway. But than. I saw it, there was glass so I could see inside. And inside were many, strange animals and beautiful plants. There was a large tree inside there and what seemed like a door on the tree. There were a lot of people in there, laughing and talking. It seemed like the animals were just fancy and different colored rabbits, squirrels and deer. Things like that, no yetis or big foots. But it was still incredible, I continued to stare in awe until we couldn't see the glass anymore.

We walked down a similar hallway but at the end of it was a door, but 4 doors before that we stopped. I looked down at Harvest, he smiled back at me, " This is your room for now, and if you choose to stay than you will also be staying here for the rest of your time here." He smiled once more at me. I nodded and he handed me a key, "It was nice meeting you (Y/N)!" I nodded back to him  and gave him my usually small grin. He ran off and before he met the glass part of the walk he turned right into a different place, I shrugged and opened the door.

Inside was a bed in the corner of the room, wood walls and wood flooring. A desk on the left side of me, a dresser/closet on the right, next to the desk was a doorway which looked like it lead to a bathroom, next to the bed was a night stand and on it a lamp, on the left corner was a table with a few chairs surrounding it. I looked up to see a ceiling fan, next to the closet I noticed another doorway. I walked in and shut the door behind me. I yawned and stretched, 'I already made up my mind on being the representative.' I thought to myself as I walked to the doorway next to the closet. 'I don't have anywhere to go, and no one cares if I did up and leave anyway. This is the most logical and most filling role I could fill. The hard part is my order habits.' I looked in the doorway and it was a kitchen, it had a counter connected to the wall and behind it were cooking utility's with a stove and dishwasher, things like that. I nodded to myself and went back into the main room. 'I was raised to follow orders and to listen, she gave me an order, to join Modshio and be a representative. I'm just doing what she told.' I convinced myself. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, my (H/L) (H/C) was a bit messy but I didn't mind, my (S/C) was still the same along with my (R/C). "That's good." I mumbled to myself.

I looked at my clothing and I was wearing a white button up shirt with black shorts and a tie along with black shoes. I looked back at the desk in the main room and checked it out. It had a lamp on it as well and a cup holding pens and pencils and a few highlighters, it had a few drawers and a few blank pieces of paper on the right side of it. It had a clock on it saying '3:28' I sighed and walked to my bed. I fell face first and took off the shoes with some help on the bed frame. I looked over at the one window I had in between the bed and table. I felt a bit tired so I didn't bother to check. 'Might as well get some sleep for now.' I thought to myself, I quickly fell asleep with this one thought on my mind, 'I'm only doing as she said, nothing more, nothing less.'
