Moth
“No. But I’ll let you know if I do.”
Moth moved aside so Ari could see the gray door guarded a tiny, dilapidated staircase. The two of them walked up, steps creaking as they went.
At the top, Moth gazed at the empty attic-like room set before him. The darkening skylight cast little light in the corners and against the peeling wallpaper. There were stains everywhere, and stepping on the floor produced clouds of dust.
In a rather melancholy sort of way, this was a comforting room. It felt real – real as any abandoned place, probably because it seemed to hold lost memories. Moth’s shoulders shivered at the thought.
“There’s nothing in my room because I arrived out of the blue. The academy doesn’t know much about me. I also don’t have any money on me.” He chuckled gently again. “I like it just the way it is. But I realized – how will I hang out with friends if there isn’t anywhere for them to sit?”

Ari
This place was old. Or maybe just forgotten. Words had never been his strong point.
It was also bare besides the coat of dust hanging around them, but Ari didn’t notice. His gaze was latched on the dim square of glass in the ceiling.
“Does it open?” He looked back at Moth. The boy had said something…ah.
“The floor’s a place to sit, isn’t it?”
A cup of tea is cheaper than therapy.
