"cheer up.."

you were walking around ANAKT, looking around for till, when you heard his soft voice from nearby.

you watched as his body was huddled on the ground, his hands cupped around his mouth as he muttered encouraging words to a seemingly dead flower.

"cheer up..!" till repeated.

the flowers in ANAKT were special. they had hidden cameras in them so the aliens could monitor the children's lives. you were the only one that knew this, though. you didnt have the heart to tell the others.

"cheer up!"

maybe you ought to join him.
