Jay sighed as they stared out the window. With all the despair still ravaging the world outside, there wasn't really a safe way to go outside. Even if she could, she felt like she didn't even want to.

"Jay, I made lunch!" Stevie skipped in,"You want some?"

"Mhm.." Jay nodded slowly.

"Hey, is something wrong?" She asked.

"'m fine." Jay mumbled, getting up and heading to her room.

"Hey- Do you want lunch?" Stevie down the hall.

"I suppose." She could hear faintly.

Stevie sighed and headed to the kitchen to get her plate.

*********************************

Jay was sat in the bathroom, on the floor with the bath running, just crying. They weren't sure why exactly, but they knew they were sick of this place.

"Jay?" Daiko knocked on the door,"Are you okay in there?"

Jay quickly rubbed her eyes,"Y-yeah!"

Daiko sighed,"Jay, I think I need help."

Jay turned off the taps and slowly opened the door.

"I- Are you sure you're alright? Your eyes are all red-"

"Enough about me, what's bugging ya?" Jay interrupted.

"Well, it's Stevie. She's been in the kitchen stressing all day and-"

Jay sighed and walked down the corridor to the kitchen, hearing the bathroom door slam shut.

"Scott just stole my bath, didn't he?" Jay asked.

"He did, good thing you hadn't gotten in yet." Daiko chuckled softly.

Jay rolled their eyes and walked into the kitchen to see Stevie stood shakily by the oven. Jay watched as she sporadically moved around trying to make... Something.

That's when her feet gave in and Jay quickly caught her.

"What have I told you about getting all worked up about stuff?" Jay turned off the oven and sat her down,"Don't complain, you're boiling."

"You... You told me not to." Stevie looked down.

"Well, I've just been feeling... Trapped." Jay sat beside her,"I want to go outside but I can't, then the other part of me feel like even if I could, I don't want to."

"I noticed you had been getting sadder but didn't know how to help so I tried baking you something but..." Stevie gestured to a bunch of failed attempts at cookies.

"Is that why you were getting so worked up about?" Jay chuckled,"That's s-"

Stevie cut her off by hugging her.

"Oh- uh..." Jay blinked, it felt nice,"Thank you."

"Just doing my job." Stevie smiled.
