Rakel nodded. "Right, I'll round them up and take them to a meeting room downstairs. Everyone but Ben and Vivian are pretty cooperative, ask them any questions. If they don't know, they'll be able to point you towards someone who does. I'll get Azalynn and Danielle out too, I don't think anyone's been down there to release them."

"Oh, I'd like to talk to them before they go anywhere as well. Are their rooms by where mine was?" I asked.

"Yeah. Here, I have the keys." She handed Raven a keyring with about a billion keys on it, but fortunately they were all labeled by room number. "The five of us will meet you in the meeting room then?"

"Yeah. Where is it?" I asked, turning slightly towards the stairs.

Rakel gave her directions and then went over to speak with Leia. Leia nodded and began packing up her paints and still-blank cards.

Raven headed downstairs and went to one of the locked doors, sliding in the corresponding key and unlocking it. She peered in through the bars to make sure she was releasing the right person.

She wasn't. A blonde boy in his early twenties was laying on the bed, trying to sleep. Despite this being a very familiar character to you, it took a moment to place him because you'd never seen him so old before. His blonde hair was filthy and growing out of it's style, a matted mess on his head. His blue tank top looked too small for him now and like it was a few days from falling apart, and too big on him, like he'd lost a lot of weight in a short space of time. When the door opened he leaped off the bed with his eyes open and hovered in the air just a moment too long before landing on his feet and staring at you, his light blue eyes reflecting pain and loss that had never been and was not supposed to be in this man in any time Raven had met him.
"Are you going to let me out?" He asked desperately.
It was Nicholas.

"Nicholas?" Would he know her name? Even if he did, there was no way he would recognize her. That was a plus to that version of me having been physically altered. I wouldn't be mixed up with a character. Then I realized that I still had a mask on anyway. What had happened to him? Why was he locked in here? I didn't feel right letting him out without knowing. Anything could have happened to him... This wasn't right. "Nicholas... I'm sorry, I will be back. I swear." I pulled the mask from my face. "I promise, I'll be back soon. I won't leave you in here, I just can't let you out quite yet..." It was just a story, but I felt my heart break at the sight of him. Would it feel like this if I hadn't known him? Or if it were any other character? I bit my lip. I didn't want to leave him. He looked like he'd been through hell. "Do you know why you're in here?"

"Yeah... the... These people here heard that I was formally invited by God to come to the palace... I was gonna be one of her chosen favourites, like Kenny and Jacob... the letter said she had something really important to tell me... but these people found out, and I was locked up before I could get there." Nicholas shook his head.

I shook my head. "I am sorry for what they've done, and I will do my best to right it. I know you aren't a bad person." But it made no sense. Why would God associate with Nicholas and Kenny? "I have to ask them for their account, though I trust you. I don't think it would be a good way to start my time here overruling what they've done without even consulting them..." I supposed it followed true that, like in the real world, there would be no side that had a perfect record. It was just a matter of which side had a better one.

Nicholas nodded. "That meeting with God was the only hope I had left... I just want to see the sky again." He sighed.

"What do you mean, the only hope you had left?" I asked, concerned.

Nicholas shook his head. "It doesn't matter now. It's been two years, the opportunities come and gone."

"It matters to me. I'll talk to you more when I come to let you out, alright?" I asked.

Nicholas shrugged. "Okay."
