Slowly the new side takes his first few steps. He reaches the door legs now strong and no longer shaking. He hesitant as he reaches for the doorknob, what will it be like out there? He thinks. His anxiety getting to him a bit, but finally with a smirk he grabs the nobs and opens the door swiftly stepping out. His hair hanging slightly in his eyes as he pears around scanning the hallways for signs of other sides. All he could see was the never ending hallway and the many doors for all the sides. Some, were still chained like his bad been. Walking up to one he read the name on the chained door, it was another dark side, “Hatred”.

He walked down the hall reading the names, “lust” locked and closed, “love” unlocked, but still closed. Finally he found a door that was slightly cracked open, “Morality”. Cocking his head with a smirk he knocked on the door frame.

“Come in!” a chipper voice rang out from inside the room.

The dark side opened the door taking a look at the light side.

Morality looked over at him and smiled, “you must be the new kid!” He gasped and got up from his rocking chair running up to the dark side and pulling him into a tight hug, "welcome!"

The dark side jumped, feeling slightly overwhelmed by so much physical contact. Morality pulled back looking into his eyes, the dark side looked back with an awkward smile, “oh!” Mortality pulled away, “I'm so sorry. You're probably not used to so much touching"

“Its okay,” The dark side shrugged it off.

The moral sides eyes fall onto the others wrists, frowning he hesitantly reaches for the younger sides hands, stopping before he reaches them, “may I?”

The dark side nods and allows the moral side to take his hands and examine the scars on his wrist from his chains. The older side pulls his hands to his lips and kisses his the scares gently. The dark side pulls his hands back as his wrist begin burn a little.

“Shh,” the moral hushes him, “it's Okay, look,” the older side gestures to the dark ones wrists, the scars where now gone.

The young one gasps and looks up at the other once more, “t-thank you,” he says in awe, he didn't expect such kindness from a light sides. It was shocking to think they were so kind to him, he was expecting to be shunned and cast outed.

“Your welcome, kiddo,” the light side smiled, “how many of the others have you met?

“You're the first besides Deceit,” the young one smiles.

“Ah, Deceit,” the moral side chuckles, “he's a creepy cookie, but I still love him.”

The younger side was a bit taken aback, but he nodded pushing a smile, he was a bit confused and when the light side said he /loved/ a dark side.

“Oh! I’m Patton by the way,” the moral side tells him cheerfully, “what is your name?”

“My name is…”
