Monday.
Sal woke up to the terribly annoying sound of the digital alarm clock, and smacked it to shoosh it.

"...uuuuuuugh...."
Sal sat up slowly, and pushed his bangs from his eyes.
They were starting to get pretty long.

He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, and grabbed his glass eye, gently inserting it into the vacant socket.

He stood up and scratched his back.
Sal walked over to his dresser and grabbed his walkie talkie.

"...Larry..? You there....?"
Sal was left with static.. so he put the walkie talkie down, and started to get ready for school.

As Sal got his breakfast, he made sure to be quiet. He didn't want to wake anyone up.

He grabbed his backpack and walked out of his apartment, and to the elevator.

Sal looked at the basement key card slot.
Then to the key card.
He decided not to visit Larry this morning..

Monday.
Nothing is worse than monday.

Espacially after what happened sunday..

---SUNDAY, 3:12PM---

"Sal, look I'm sorry!!", Henry said.

"What happened to the new scenery?! A change of pace?!", Sal argued.

"This town just isn't right. There's something about it that worries me."

"Dad, we can't move back to Jersey!! What about my friends?! What about Larry!?!?!"
Sal was starting to tear up.

"Sal. I know you and Larry are close. But this town is dangerous."

"I'm not leaving!! No way!!"
Sal stormed out of the room, and to the elevator.
He inserted the basement key card and tapped his foot as he made the descent.

Sal wiped his eyes as he knocked on the apartment door.

Lisa opened it up, and instantly hugged Sal once she saw the tears.

"Hey...! Sal..! Woah... you alright?", she said, cupping her hands around Sal's cheek, and wiping away a tear with her thumb.

"Can I talk to you..? And Larry....?"

"Of course..! Come on.."

Sal walked into the apartment and sat down on the couch.
He had thrown his mask off in the elevator, and probably chipped it.

Lisa came back with an equally, possibly even more, worried Larry.

Larry sat on the couch next to Sal, and held him close, gently rubbing his shoulder.

Lisa took one of Sal's free hands into her own.

"Alright sal.. what's going on..?", Lisa said after a minute.

"My dad and I got into a bug fight..."

Larry hugged Sal a little harder.
"The only time your dad ever talks to you is for favors and agruments.."

"..this one was worse, Larry..."

"How so, Sal?" Lisa said, tilting her head a little.

"I'm moving back to Jersey.."
