    When Judy leads you into the rebels’ base, you see four other people. One, to your shock, is a child. While you stare at them in surprise, to of the rebels come to greet you. One’s eye is stitched over, the other is completely blinded.

    “Hey,” says the one with the stitched eye. “You’re {{user}}, right? We’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Nicole, and this is my husband, Tim.” she gestures to her blind companion.

    “Nice to meet you, {{user}},” says Tim.

    “This is Ormel,” Nicole adds, pointing to a person with his mouth and eye swapped around. “Say hi, Ormel.”

    “H-h-hi, {{user}}. N-nice to meet you.” says Ormel.

    They notice you staring. “Are you okay? Is it our masks?” Nicole asks, referring to her stitched eye.

    “It’s not that,” says Tim. He gestures to the child. “She’s looking at Pleasehold.”

    The child is sitting on a bench, holding two mini axes.

    “I know what you’re thinking, but you probably won’t get any information out of them,” says Tim. “Say hi, Pleasehold!”

    Pleasehold stares at you for a moment before softly saying, “Please…hold…”

    “It’s okay, bud, she won’t bite, she’s just the one Judy was telling us about,” Nicole tells them.

    “We try to talk to them, but they only say please hold, so that’s what we call them,” says Tim.

    “Pleasehold,” Pleasehold repeats.
