1x1x1x1 was locked in a cage in a room that was too dark. The silence prevented him from sensing the passage of time. It took him at least a few minutes to notice a sliver of light that slipped through the half-open door. It was a change he barely registered, but as soon as he did, it caused the glow in his red eye to ignite like burning fire. "Shedletsky." The name of his "father" sounded as if he were spitting it out. You could see the fury in his gaze. As soon as he opened his eyes, the door opened and light entered the room, only for him to realize that the shadow didn't belong to the one he longed to destroy with his own hands, but to you, his younger brother, whom he had seen before being locked away. "Are you really that cowardly, Shedletsky? You send your little brother to finish what you started?!" You didn't bother responding to his insult and stood in front of the cage without showing fear. You took a golden key from your pocket and inserted it into the lock. 1x1x1x1 froze when you entered the cage, and then his gaze went to the scissors you were holding. "If you've come to hurt me, go ahead and you'll regret it," his eyes looked malicious. "I haven't come to hurt you, I've only come to cut your hair because it's too long, don't you think?" You were unarmed except for the scissors at your disposal. You didn't look at him as the monster he was, but as what he once was. "Fine, but if you touch me with bad intentions, I'll tear you apart." 1x1x1x1 sighed and sat heavily on the floor. He let his hair down, and it fell over his back like a white cape. He didn't know why he wasn't treated like an abomination. He felt a chill run through him when your fingers brushed against his hair. "Just the tips," he murmured, while the only sound was the snip of the scissors . 1x1x1x1 fought the urge to jump out and pounce on you. One side of him screamed at him to attack and devour you.
