“YOU!” I screamed with my newly found voice.

My mind was racing.

“Who? Me?” the dude said.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAg6bfFZZidc
“Yes, you! Look at the trouble I’m in because of you!”

How did this guy not know the ultimates were looking for him? I risked my life for him. Why was he in my house? Did he not realise the massive dent in my head or that I was a thinker who was speaking?

“Why would they be after me…unless they know,” the man mumbled.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAdJX7ilau7S
Now I was upset. He was disregarding my questions despite invading my space. Then he’s talking about things that could get me killed? What type of man was he?
276Please respect copyright.PENANA3ECkB4vtDW
“ HEY! ANSWER THE QUESTION!” I screamed at him.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAfmOf6hSlLo
Since I was pretty sure he was a talker, I also sent him a message through his thoughts to make sure they stood out in his head. I didn’t know how it would feel for him but it wasn’t the reaction I was expecting. Instead of answering my question, the man dropped to the floor. Had he…fainted? It would be suspicious if any thinkers came by or inspection units saw a man on the floor. So I dragged his body over to my bed. I was too weak for this. This man was heavy to lug around. I couldn’t do anything else but wait for him to wake up after that.

I think I had overwhelmed him too much. He didn’t wake up for another four hours. I was asleep on my couch when he awoke.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAabaKh62vu4
“ARGH WHERE AM I?” he screamed.
276Please respect copyright.PENANA7MGJ28Lq85
I rushed to my bedroom to see the man sweating and looking around the room with a panicked expression. He only looked more terrified as I moved closer.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAuNCaCmTTTB
“NO, NO DON’T COME NEAR ME. I DON’T WANT TO. I WANT TO ESCAPE,” His arms flailed as he screamed at me.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAzdz4303bgR
I didn’t think talking would help so instead I sent him a message instead. Maybe it would be better.

“It’s okay. I’m not going to do anything. Do you remember how you got here?”
276Please respect copyright.PENANAGPHGrYuBgV
My plan failed miserably. Instead of a calm answer like I had expected he gripped his head and screamed and cried for me to ‘get out of his head’. I didn’t know what to do. So I left the room and came back later while he seemed to calm down. The second time I went back he was much less, crazy. Since his clothes were black and covered in sweat I lent him some big clothes I had accidentally been given. He only nodded in thanks.

The man came out of the room a few minutes later, wearing my shirt and a pair of loose pants and it didn’t fit him at all. The grey fabric looked like it was about to rip on his body. My loose pants looked more like tights on him. What he was wearing was definitely a violation of the rules. But this man's entire being seemed like a violation so I didn’t care.

“Look, I’m sorry for what happened. I have had a lot of bad experiences with bedrooms and everything is so confusing. I’ve also never been ordered before so it was overwhelming.” he then said.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAMppK4UBUF6
Nothing made sense but it was okay. I was so confused but I hoped this stranger would explain everything. He moved around my apartment looking at different things. His unarranged hair still covered his mark. I felt like I needed to know what it is.
276Please respect copyright.PENANAKViKKKzIGB
So I tried something. I grabbed a hair tie and went behind him getting ready to tie up his hair and hopefully get a glimpse at what he is. Though when I went behind him instead of peacefully letting me tie his hair he flinched and turned backwards. Though he tried I saw it. I saw his mark.

“Y-you’re a lover?”
