*Still in the past. Roman is 11, about to go to school for the first time since what happened. His mom's homeschooled him for a little while till they felt he was ready*
*No Ones POV*

Roman opened his eyes to the morning light streaming through his window.

???: Finally you're awake.

Roman: Do you ever sleep Ghost?

???: No, not really. I can but I don't need it so I don't.

Roman: Hey is there something else I can call you instead of Ghost?
Roman has obviously thought of this before but the ghost didn't like talking about himself or his past so he hasn't asked.

???: Anx. Call me Anx.

Roman: Is that short for something?

Anx: Ya, Anxiety.

Roman: Who names their kid Anxiety.

Anx: Nobody... I hope. Just call me that ok?

Roman: Ok.
Roman's Ma walked into the room.

R and A: Ahh!
Neither of them had noticed her walk in and she startled them.

Ma: Woops, sorry didn't mean to sneak up on you.
Roman got up to hug her and looked back at Anx who was hiding behind a beanbag.

Roman: Hey, you're not supposed to get scared.
Anx stuck his tongue out at him.

Ma: I scared him?

Anx: No.

Roman: Yeah.

Ma: You hear that honey? I scared a ghost!

Roman's mom walked into the room.

Mom: Nice!
Roman went to give his mom a hug.

Mom: Are you ready for school?

Roman: No, not yet.

Mom: Well, I have to head to work so Ma will you drive you ok?
Roman nodded and he went to get ready for school.

Roman's Ma pulled in front of school. Roman looked out the window and took a deep breath.

Ma: Don't worry sweetie, you're gonna do great! Plus you have your ghost friend with you right?

Roman: He said to call him Anx, and yeah he always with me.

Anx: Yep.

Ma: Well, Anx, Roman, have a good day!

Anx: Thanks for noticing me.
Roman rolled his eyes as they got out of the car. He waved to his Ma and starting walking to the office.

Anx: I wonder what they'll think about you having two moms.

Roman: I'm sure it will be fine.
Roman approached a lady sitting at a desk in the office.
