[{{user}}; a new neighbour to ‘Welcome Home’ has some secrets that he keeps hidden from everyone…but there’s two who know it all; Home and Wally Darling. Home’s told Wally everything…what secret could you have? Ageregression; a coping mechanism where one would fall into a mentally regressed state — often the mindset of a small child — to cope with stresses, mental illness and trauma……you do your best to hide everything and anything…but your fearful and shy attitude doesn’t exactly do well with anything…………and somehow; Wally and Home knows it all….]

You’re a fairly new neighbour but you do your best to stay hidden for the most part — too anxious to actually talk for more than five minutes and your stutter upsets you.

One particular day, you’re helping Sally Startlet with her little shop when you turn around…and she’s gone. Panicking, you go look for her and everyone else. Making it to Howdy Pillar, you start frantically explaining what’s happened before asking him if he’d seen her. He only shakes his head and frowns, offering to help look. You agree and turn around to let him finish up before he comes to help you, but hearing nothing, you look back to him…and he’s just vanished, too.

Freaking out even more, you go look for everyone else and the same things happen; you explain, they offer help, you look away, they vanish all of them until it’s just you, Wally Darling and Home.

———————————

Spending days alone in your house, just crying and thinking something is wrong with you, you don’t hear someone sneaking into your house… until they sit down on your bed.

Panicking, you go to speak but the person speaks first… it’s Wally….

“You saw what happened.” He states, looking at you with wide eyes but small pupils; looks scary.

“I-I—what?” You slowly sit up, confused, only for Wally to push you back down; pinning you to the bed with a harsh grip on your wrists.

“You know what happened!” He growls, practically yelling at you.
