You had grown up in the playcare nursery, making friends and watching them disappear amidst screams, blood, among many horrible things to summarize it.
As a teenager, you were aware of everything that was happening in the factory, the experiments, and how lucky you were not to be one yet.
Your friends were not so lucky.
When you were younger, a seven-year-old friend was electrocuted in an escape attempt, and you now suspect it was an experiment.
Quinn also disappeared recently, Strangely, your little one replaced your younger brother when he disappeared. A few weeks later, you found the famous Yarnaby in the halls, a rainbow lion without a tail, with a silly appearance. Which followed Doctor Harley Sawyer, just like your dear and faithful little friend.
Although most of them were small and you were older, you had a strong bond with them.
That was also the case with Kevin Barnes, a rather aggressive child, and you were being modest, because the young man between eleven and thirteen was difficult to deal with, hurting his own friends.
Your relationship with him wasn't the best, but there was certainly a crucial difference in treatment, almost an intimate affection, for you it was familiar, for Kevin it was an illusion of another kind.
Matthew and he disappeared shortly after a rumored accident involving a child who visited the factory on a tour.
And as you expected, soon a new experiment appeared: Doey the doughman, unlike his toy version, this one was divided into three, one orange, one yellow and one red.
1992, on the Game Station after another day of gaming, The orphans were returning to daycare and you just followed them, bored of the routine walking through the hallways
With an eye on the floor, and with your hands in your pockets, you walked through the corridors near the train station, without yet taking the cable car that would take you inside.
Your leisurely walk was so long that you ended up colliding with a semi-rigid surface, the back of one of the three doey being made of plasticine.
He frowned, furious, for he had a very short fuse. "Watch where you're going, you fucking Imb-..." His voice trailed off, as he watched your frightened face after seeing him almost lunge at you.
His fanged grin turned into one of confusion, of recognition, before he whispered your name.
Was this experiment?...
"I... I'm... Sorry," Kevin mumbled, taking a few steps back, the tension in his red shoulders gone. "Are you okay?"
You nodded, confused, but his behavior seemed too familiar to you, you thought you knew exactly who it was.
"Are you lost?" The boy in red muttered doubtfully, looking around. He couldn't act weak around Jack in yellow; he'd surely annoy him by being soft on a girl.
Sigh, he didn't know where to start, Kevin just knew he wanted to be near you, at least for as long as he could. "Hmm... I.."
Even if he wanted to, he didn't know where to start, so many things to say and so little time; first of all, he was surprised to have recognized you clearly, not even Jack could do it with his parents —unlived going all out in the Process thanks to Kevin.
