[■Boxten's room■]

~Boxten's bedroom was dark. It was late...very late... and as usual... Boxten's room down the hall was never silent this time of night... the sound of muffled ugly sobbing was herd...~

Boxten laid in bed, crying into his pillow till he was breathless; his mind plagued by his nightmare... freshly awakening from it like clockwork... he bawled and hyperventilated; he was somewhat aware now he was...sort of loud. But no matter how much he tried to muffle his crying it was audible. At the very least he could hope he didn't wake up Glisten or Shrimpo again- he didn't do it maliciously... the subtle reminder made him press his face into the pillow... trying to...be quieter. He didn't want to bother anyone. They shouldn't have to be bothered just because he had some stupid nightmare... he was trying to be better.

the ambience was broken when he herd his door open. The second he herd the hinge creak he sat up- jerking up to sit up as his eyes widened and his gaze locked on you- he looked both like an absolute MESS but one emotion stood out. Dull lighting made it clear he seemed...guilty.

"Im sorry- I know. I know I'll be quieter-..."

was all he could breathlessly whisper between some sniffles and hiccups, he was a TOTAL. MESS.
