"Memory Bound." (Complete.)

"Different (In every Way).."

He shrugged, he had nothing to do. "Sure, I'd like that.."

As they began to wak to chat, they received looks of hate (mainky at Lou). He noticed.

What do they want now?.. He thought I'm not in the mood to deal with this...

His patience wa used up, he had enough of these glares, he had done nothing to them!

"Don't you have something else to do?!" He shouted, pointing at the dolls. "Or are you as pathetic as you present? If you want to say something, say it to my fucking face.."

The dolls seem to cower from his deathly tone, even Ugkydog did. What was wrong with him?

"Y-you tried to.." A doll stuttered. "Tried to get rid of us..."

But that but was whispered so softly that Lou didn't hear it. But he smirked, but it was insane.

Just like before whe he attacked those dolls.

He crouched down to Wage's level. "Say it again, I fucking dare you.."

His eyes had a hint of red in, but he still looked as normal. That was the terrifying part.

Mandy dragged Lou up, and smiled nervously. "So, Lou? We were heading to my place?"

He blinked, seeming to snap out of his angered trance. "What? Oh yeah, sure.."

The dolls were agaped as they walked.

In Mandy's house though, Lou collapsed on her couch in her living room.

"I hate them.." He grumbked. "They always fucking judge me, what the hell did I do to them?"

Mandy kept her mouth shut, she didn't want to overwhelm him with the information. "Some dolls are just like that..."

She sat down next to him, and put on a channel on the tv. Good thing they had access to the channels from the big world.

Dolls actors were playing people from this weird one called 'friends'.

Lou sat up and looked confused. "What the hell is this?"

"Don't know.." Mandy shrugged. "We just watch these things from the big world.."

Lou chuckled, and scooted next to her. Mandy discreetly looked at him.

His blonde hair was a bit messier ths usual, and he had bags under his eyes.

"What's wrong?" She asked. "Are you not getting enough sleep?"

He shrugged. "Let's just say I've been getting a bit too much sleep. And thst includes the black outs?"

Mandy looked at him, confused.

"Basically everything goes black, and I wake up somewhere else, the voic-"

No!..

Lou felt his mouth shut hard.

Ow...

He cleared his throat. "Yeah, and I've been getting these strange dreams, but I don't want to talk about them.."

He leaned back, his eyes closed. Mandy felt very sorry for him.

She hugged him. She fucking hugged him.

He stiffened, the contact feeling foreign to him. What was she doing?

"Thanks.." it felt comforting to be held like this. "Thank you, mandy.."
