[Tenn's Life at Erickson before the Apocolyaspe]

A boy, not much older than 10, sat alone in a dorm room, scribbling upon a piece of paper. Dark brown hair on most of his head. Some of it was replaced by a severe burn mark in the process of healing. He twiddled his pencil and tugged on his green Erickson t-shirt in frustrasion.

"Tenn," a soft feminine voice whispered. "Don't stay up too late." He looked back and sees his sister Sophie in the doorway.

"I won't, just finishing up my drawing," he replied. Sophie walked over to the desk to examine the drawing.

"I love it," she smiles and kisses him on his cheek.

"Seen Minnie?"

"Probably playing cards with Louis and Vi. We can go find them if you want."

Tenn nodded his head and walked through the empty halls of Erickson. The faint smell of dinner's spagetti and meatballs still linger in the halls. Out in the courtyard, Louis, Violet, and Minnie sat besides a campfire playing Truth or Dare.

"I dare you to kiss Violet," Louis spoke to Minnie.

The red head gladly accepted the dare and kissed Violet on the cheek, causing both of them to turn brught red.

"MINNIE," Tenn screamed as he ran to hug his sister.

"Hey Tenn," she replied as she kissed his forehead. "Your scar is looking better."

"I wouldn't regret stealing more fries either, lil dude," Violet spoke referring to his scarred head and ear.

Tenn looked down anxiously, he hated that a stupid desire of french fries left him with this ugly scar.

Violet realize her mistake and hands Tenn one of her Oreos.

"I'm sorry for bringing it up," Violet spoke softly," You okay bud?"

Tenn nodded and accepted the Oreo offering apology.

"If anything, the scar is bravery, Tenn." Louis encouraged. Everyone nodded theit heads in agreement.

Sophie and Minnie sat besides Tenn along with Louis and Violet. Sitting around the campfire, playing cards into the late night. Together.
