Boxten gently sat down on one of the benches, he looked up and stared at the empty elevator. "Useless. That's all I am." His hands quickly turned to fists as he sniffled.

"I don't wanna be useless." He took a deep breath before ultimately sobbing into his hands, he tried to be quiet but he couldn't stop crying. "I.. it's not fair! W-why must I be deemed as u-useless?!" Boxten whined, he almost screamed as he felt someone place a hand onto his shoulder.

He quickly gasped and hid his face with his bandana, Glisten. Glisten was the one who had startled him, a somber and caring expression printed onto his face. Boxten gasped as he was pulled into a hug, he hesitantly wrapped his arms around Glisten - earning a small hmph from the mirror.

"I.. I know. I know what he feels like to be useless." Glisten rubbed Boxten's back comfortingly making Boxten shiver and bury himself further into Glisten's shoulder. "It's gonna be okay. Just.. just let it all out." Boxten sniffled once more before promptly sobbing into Glisten's shoulder - Glisten raised an eyebrow but let it happen.

Boxten finally pulled away and wiped his eyes. "I must look like a fool! Ha.. ha." Boxten stared at the ground. Glisten frowned at this and placed his hands on top of Boxten's, "No. Not at all." Glisten scooted closer while keeping their hands together.

"You're not .. useless.–" "But I am! I'm just a stupid starter! I don't have any.. special abilities!" Boxten cried back, he didn't pull away from Glisten's grasp though.

".. How about me and you go on a run together. To prove that you're not useless, we both aren't." Glisten whispered the last part for whatever reason.

"But.. but we might get hurt!" Boxten stared into Glisten's eyes, full of sorrow and regret. "We'll be fine. Trust me." Glisten stood up and held his hand out, "C'mon."

Boxten gulped before softly taking his hand, Glisten turned towards the elevator and gently guided Boxten in the process.

They entered the elevator, still holding hands.

"You'll do great Boxten."

".. I don't know how to thank you.. or return the favor–"

"You don't have too."
