You didn't need to be a genius to figure out where I was next. After opening and wiping my wet eyes, I looked around and confirmed my suspicion that I was in Plushtrap's hallway. Well, it's still technically MY hallway in my house, but you know what I meant.

After looking around a bit, I felt something tap my leg. I looked down and saw that the little yellow robot was the culprit. His large, metal teeth shone a bit in the light as he gave a great, big smile.

"Back for more, eh?"

"I guess so."

"Well, no need for more small-talk; let's get going!"

"Wait!"

"What is it?!"

"...I just wanted to thank you for helping me and giving me another chance."

"Aw, save your breath, Kid; I only did it because it's my job."

"Huh?"

"It's complicated. Now, let's go!"

He then ran down the dark hallway, leaving me alone with a flashlight. I couldn't help but think about that kid with the yellow bunny doll. I told him it was like a 'plush trap'...which wouldn't be weird if the actual Plushtrap hadn't told me that I created that name. This doesn't make sense...can he predict the future? Or...has me naming him already happened...?

"Alright! Now, I'm going to make it harder!"

"...of course..."

"Now you only have 45 seconds!"

"I think I can handle that!"

"You'd better hope so!"

"I'm just wondering...what's stopping me from just shining my light on you the whole time?"

"Simple; if I'm not on the X, I'll count it as a loss and brutally gouge your eyeballs out and cram them up your nose!"

"...that's a good enough reason!"

"I thought so. Now, let's begin in 3...2...1...NOW!!!"

I didn't turn the light on right away; I wanted to wait until I heard movement. 45 seconds didn't sound like a lot of time, so I had to be careful!

I finally heard some scuffling across the floor. I turned the light on and saw the bunny drop in the middle of the hallway. He was right between the chair and the X, so I suppose he's not too close or far. I turned the light off and waited.

After holding my breath for a little bit longer, I heard louder, faster movement. I turned the light on again and saw nothing. Oh, no; where was he??

I turned the light off and waited again. He had to have been in one of the doorways, but which one was it? Well, let's hope he doesn't stay there forever. Thankfully, he wasn't; I heard the scuffling again and turned the light on. Sure enough, he was in the hallway. Specifically, right above the X!

After dropping down, he turned to me and smiled.

"You're getting good at this!"

"Or maybe you're getting worse!"

His smile quickly turned into a snarl.

"I can still kill you for that, but I'll pass."

"Um...thanks."

"Well, have a nice night!"

"Wait!"

"What??"

"Uh...I'm just curious why you're being so friendly to me."

"Friendly?"

"Well, yeah; you could've killed me by now, and you certainly could've not given me a second chance!"

"There's a difference between 'friendly' and 'courteous', Kid."

"...I don't think I know what it is."

"And you never will. Now, hold tight!"

With that, he and the hallway was gone.
