MITCH walked out across the lawn towards a building only a bit smaller in comparison to the one he'd just left, he couldn't help but sigh as he thought of what he was going to tell Margo, he had tried looking for her for a great deal of time, but, like everything, he'd had to stop.

He'd accepted that she was dead and let it weigh on him every day since, so to see her standing in his room was more than odd.

Even as he entered the next building he still couldn't find the words he wanted to use, he didn't even want to have to tell her.

But it was only right.

It was probably best he didn't bring up Morgan, he knew Margo better than anyone, he knew how she'd react.

And that was what he feared.

It only took a few minutes for him to arrive at the girl's door, and despite the fact he stood outside of it for an additional two minutes, he roughly rapped his knuckles against the wood twice before letting his hand drop to his side.

He wasn't going to tell her about Margo yet, not until he'd returned to his room and talked to her.

The girl's younger sister popped her head out through the door her lips lifting into a large smile at the sight of the man in front of her, "hi Mitch!" she exclaimed opening the door further to throw herself around him.

Chuckling, the man softly hugged the small girl back, she was only eleven and somehow she seemed to intimidate most people that came across her. Pulling back, she eyed the man before resting her hands on her hips, "you're here for Morgan, aren't you?"

He tilted his head to the side before giving a soft nod, she sighed, "when I'm older you'll be all over me." she grumbled glancing over her shoulder, "MORGAN!"

Glancing past the door and into the small apartment Mitch searched for Morgan, for an escape from her little sister, and thank god she didn't take too long.

Otherwise, Mitch was sure he'd had to leave the building and hide out in his apartment.

She came forward with a smile on her face- gently pushing her sister back away from the door- before leaning forward to try and wrap her arms around the man's neck, he stepped back before shaking his head, "I'm sorta in a hurry."

Raising her brows she gestured for him to follow after her into the apartment, "so. what's so busy that you can't even hug me?" she questioned, Mitch simply shook his head as he continued to follow her, "you wouldn't understand."

Morgan fought back an eye roll, that seemed to be all he ever thought of her, that she wouldn't understand any of what he had seen, done, even felt.

But she knew she could, and she hated that he doubted her.
