I'm almost sleeping. I'm so tired... The two men still talking and the noise they make is the only thing that keeps me awake. Clearing wasn't good at all. It took long, it was hard, and always William with his stupid jokes and sarcasm only made everything worse.

But unlike me, he looks fresh and talks to Henry with enthusiasm. My head is laying on the table because I'm not able to even hold it. I carefully look up. Two men speaking and Charlie who seems finally to lose energy. She's sleeping.

I'm not paying attention to the topic because it's something about blueprints and some chicken robot.

After we were done, Henry invited us to dinner in cafe since it's already late and we all were hungry. And now here we are.

They are still drinking coffee. I ate my food like eternity ago. Can I go home please?

- Oh, and what about Michael?

- He will be here in any minute.

My ear catches that and I want to ask about this Michael but... I'm too tired to speak. To move. To do anything. I feel dead. Charlie is a good girl but you can die if spend too much time with her.

Suddenly, William stands up which makes me to finally turn up.

- W-wha?-

It seems like nobody heard me. I carefully look where Bunny goes. To some kid in hoodie.

- Michael! You're here. - he hugs him and Michael does back with smile.

- Yes, it took longer than I expected but I'm here.

Well... He looks about 6 or 7 but speaks as if he's already 30. Honestly, I could easily guess it's son of William. He's his exact copy, but little.

They both return to our table where Henry gives him a pat on head with soft smile.

Then the boy notices me.

- And why is she here? - Michael looks... disgusted.

But it's our first meeting, right?

William chuckles.

- Don't worry, she'll leave soon.

How thankful, Afton. Didn't care to ask me maybe?

Henry raises eyebrow in confusion:

- Is there something I don't know?

Michael blinks a few time, carefully inspecting my face. Why is everyone doing that today?

- She caused her le-

- Michael.

William coldly interrupts him and I see sparkle of fear in kid's eyes. He sighs and nods.

- Anyway, I'm Michael. Michael Afton. And I'm 7.

I want to answer but instead I just silently look at him with dumb face. Brain, load please, I need to say something!

- Uh, me, Y/N.... Well, uh, that's my name! L/N Y/N, yeah!

I want to facepalm. Well, at least, I said anything. Even introduced myself.

Boy seemes uncomfortable near me. I'm not dumb so I take a guess.

- You were there, right, Michael?

His eyes widen a bit. Then he returns ashamed expression and nods.

- You're not as dumb as I thought. Yes, it was me.

Now both Henry and William stare at us with confusion. I was right. Well, Michael hates me for some reason. And knows where I live since he stalked me a bit yesterday...
