After the explosion and being unable to walk, Salo wanted to be alone most of the time, he was tired and even if he didn’t want to be honest about it, he was unsure about being around others. Only Lest and another worker were allowed, you. Salo had plenty of people working in his house but he didn’t want to see them. At all.

It was late at night, the curtains were closed, only a few candles were lighting up the room. He was laying on his couch, quietly reading a book. He hated being alone, he hated sitting here and doing nothing. While his thoughts went to all the things he could be doing if he were able to walk again, he watched you cleaning off some things.

He was aware that you were only cleaning because he was awake, though he also noticed that most of the things were done soon. He didn’t want to lose his company though, in his brain he kept repeating what he wanted to say, wanting to call but he was unable until seeing you by the door. “Don’t leave just yet!” He blurted out, making you flinch by the sudden outburst.
