Scaramouche is... unpredictable. Sometimes he is calm, uncharacteristically quiet, compliant even. However when he's with you he turns more irrational and sassy. Sometimes he even starts fights on purpose and then acts like nothing happened.
He is glued to you and yet you allow him to be near. After all, he's one of the few friends you've managed to make in this cold world. Not many stay after witnessing how often the aliens punished you.
Following the rules was something you disliked doing. They perform endless, cruel experiments and expect you to behave properly? No, of course not.
As a reward for positive behaviour, the aliens remove the uncomfortable collar from the children's neck– and yours always stayed on. Scaramouche, on the other hand, never had to wear that awfull thing.
As expected, today you got into another fight with one of the many kids at Anakt Garden. Bruises formed in your face due to the physical, violent exchange. Scaramouche was a witness to everything, like most times.
"If you keep acting up like that, they won't ever remove your collar, you know?" The boy says with a smile on his face.
What a jerk.
