Met didn’t respond when Melanie left. He leaned against the wall and huffed into a gentle sigh, staring down into the corner with his eyes glazed over.

Fox gives Met a gentle hug, trying to cheer him up.

Met wanted to shake Fox off. He wanted to be left alone so he could fall into himself.

Fox lets go of Met, sitting next to him. They wonder what to do.

(Um, maybe describe the room I'm in? Attempt to follow me?)

(The room is a nurse's office :P)

Melanie's head tilts to the side. "Are you okay?" she asked again, still on the ground. Melanie adjusts herself so that she's sitting on her knees.

Jax backed up more against the wall, effectively remaining out of Melanie's sight.

Melanie pouts. "I know you're here…My friend told me…Or did he lie? If you're here, can I stay here? The other two weren't concerned about you, Jax…I hope…" her voice trailed off, sounding desperate.

I knew I wouldn't be safe, I can't jump down and make a run for it because of my leg… What do I do? What do I do? He thought frantically, trying to remain still.

"Will you come out? I know you're scared, and… I am, too, in a way. I was scared that the monsters got you, so I came in here through the tunnel. It was dark and scary, but my friend helped me to find you. I'm sorry about earlier, and if you want to run away, you can," Melanie scoots about five feet from the vent, "but try not to hurt me again. My shoulder still hurts…I don't want to be hurt again, but I understand if you do…"

"Why?" Jax whispered, slamming his hand against his mouth in disbelief that he did that.

(Did Jax introduce himself…)

Ah, I didn't remeber, I guess becuase I made him out of character.///

Melanie looked around (I'm assuming that she can't see him), still unable to see Jax. "Do you remember before? I'm the girl, Melanie. I'm sorry to go looking for you, I just thought the monsters might've gotten you. I don't know why, but the other two people-I think they're my friends-they didn't follow me. I'm sorry, I just…I want to care for all the people here. When I saw you, I didn't know there were others here like me, suffering from the doctors and the monsters. I wanted to make sure you were safe…I should leave, I'm probably terrifying you now, right?" Melanie sighed. "I'm sorry…"

"You're going to hurt me so why should I go down? They said that they wanted to help me, but then they hurt me." He hissed, his nails digging into the soft wood of the cabinet.

"How could I hurt you? I don't have anything to hurt you with." Melanie puts her hands up, showing that besides the oversized shirt and pants she wore, she had nothing. "I'm too weak to defend myself, let alone pick a fight."

"Mentally, everyone can hut mentally." He whispered, sounding as if this was a recited thing and it was, his sister made sure he knew.

Fox gets up, and slowly walks off.

"Mentally? Huh, I didn't know I could do that. I mean, I guess that's what the doctors did to me. They told me I saw things when I didn't. But then, one day, I did. I mean, the worst that I could do is tell you what goes on in my head, what isn't real that I see."

"Where is this place? I just went through the vents…" He whispered to her, inching to the ground so they could speak face to face.

"Vents? I came in through the tunnel. It could've held monsters. It was very dark, scary too. This place…I don't know. I've lived here since I was…uh…" Melanie has to think a minute before responding, "Oh! Since I was five. I think I forgot how old I am…I've been here a long time." She gives Jax a small smile, happy to talk. Even if Jax was scared, it was a start.

"… Me too." Jax said, setting his feet on the floor and standing up. He wanted to get some supplies and stash them in the vents.

Fox decides to go through the vent, when they came up to the split, they went straight like the other two did. They see the opening and watches them from above, dangling their legs.
