Just as you hoped would happen, they all started opening up to you. You knew Pyramid Head and Hannibal weren't going to be allowed out of their rooms again for a few days so that gave you time to spend time with the others now that you've opened a door that's never been open before. 

"Okay Y/N you got this." Today's breakfast was at 8 AM to give them extra time for activities and to give them enough time to engage with all of them. Activity time was from 9:15 AM to 1:15 PM and usually, it's 2 hours but, it was extended to 4 hours which was probably for your sake but, you're glad. I bet they would appreciate the freedom for a few hours. You knew it was activity day and just in case you had a bag packed with your crocheting stuff to do. You left your room and waited for them to come out listening to the clink and clank of chains get louder.

"Good morning Miss Y/N." You were pleasantly surprised to see Brahms was first and you waved at him, seeing how he perked up when you did. 

"Good morning Brahms." You turned and behind him was Michael and the usual people who came in order. This time when you waved and said good morning they all acknowledged you. Stu almost dislocated his shoulder with how hard he was waving and even Bo nodded at you and Vincent waved. It was definitely a success and the Legion people said good morning or nodded at you as well. Things were already looking much better than you thought it was going to go. You were about to leave to follow but, turned around quickly at the sound of a lot of chains coming. To your surprise Pyramid Head was joining but, there was no Hannibal. 

"Pyramid Head was well-behaved yesterday so...we are going to see if it can happen again." You nodded at Randall after greeting the aforementioned. 

"Where's Hannibal?" Randall shook his head as the two of you followed behind the guards and patients. 

"He didn't feel like eating breakfast, had eaten protein bars, and would like to join us later for lunch." You nodded since that was fair enough. 

"Will he be joining us for activities?" Randall nodded and you smiled at that. At least he was going to be there. "Wait, does that mean the Executioner will be with us?" You really did use both names to address him. Randall looked as if he swallowed gravel when he went to speak.

"Yes." You nodded and turned away from him to hide the grin you felt creeping onto your face. Against their judgment, not yours, you were excited about what today can hold. You made it to the cafeteria and to your surprise Stu, Billy, and Danny were sitting at the same table as Pyramidhead which means they'll be sitting with you. They caught your eye and grinned in which you returned. This was going to be interesting. 

"Why do you always have such a happy disposition?" You turned to the lunch lady who was definitely older and bitter. She was frowning looking between you and your patients and you knew she would poison them if it meant she could keep her job. Probably has done so in the past you wouldn't put it past her. 

"Why not?" She said nothing and you took the food seeing everyone had their plates already. You walked to the table and sat in between Pyramid Head and Danny while Stu and Billy were across from y'all. 

"Hope you don't mind us sitting here." You shook your head no as you started feeding Pyramid Head with your left and eating your food with your right. You didn't have time to make breakfast but, you packed up lunch with your crochet stuff so when breakfast is over you'll grab your craft and lunch bags. 

"It's nice that you guys want to sit here." As you sat there the three of them started talking including you here and there but, you mostly listened. You were just amazed that they were sitting here, that was a big step in the right direction. Once you finished eating and feeding Pyramid Head you grabbed the trays to dump them walked back to your seat and played something on YouTube leaning it on his chained arms for him to watch. 

"Hey! I wanna see too, what you're watching?" Danny leaned completely on you and since he was taller he rested his chin on top of your head to get a look. You saw the guards tense up but, you threw a hand up at them signaling for them to stay. "Oh, my bad, I'm not allowed to get near you, or else the Guards will get their panties in a twist." He moved back to where he was and started talking to Stu and Billy again. Billy was a weird one who just stared and smirked at you, and never really said anything. 

"You're fine. I'm not bothered by the closeness." He hummed and leaned a little closer to you but, didn't drape himself the way he did earlier. You continued to watch YouTube and pretended not to notice how Billy would tap his foot against yours rhythmically.

"Ten minutes before clean up!" At least they warned them and just didn't say let's go. A small mercy. You switched to crocheting videos, a market vlog to be specific and you saw Stu lean in to listen looking at the phone curiously. 

"What's a market vlog?" You hummed as you continued watching.

"It's a place usually outdoors but, sometimes indoors where people sign up ahead of time to sell their hand-made goods from their small businesses. Usually, these people would already have a name for themselves online and possibly have their own website as well." You always enjoyed watching this kind of thing and you've been to a couple of markets yourself which you preferred over selling the goods themselves online. You just sold your own patterns online on Etsy, Ravelry, and Ribblr. It was much cheaper and you got way more customers as well.

"Is that something you would ever do?" You smiled at Stu.

"I have done these markets before, I do craft stuff like crocheting, embroidery, and sewing." It seemed as if he was going to say more but, it was time for breakfast to be over. They all would be escorted to their rooms for roughly 20 minutes and then taken to do activities. You had no idea what kind of activities they would do or where the activity place is even at. You don't know anything. You went to your room to just make sure everything was good and you grabbed your lunch and bag and waited outside the room unsure where you were going. 

"Dress casual Y/N." You turned to Randall to see he was wearing a regular pair of pants, sneakers, and a shirt with his tag on it. "You got time still go ahead." You nodded and went right back into the room changing into a pair of burgundy stretchy pants, and a white shirt and you left your Skechers on since they were comfortable. You grabbed your stuff and came out of the room getting a nod of approval. "Good, let's go to the patients." You nodded and walked side by side with him trying to figure out where you were going. 

"I thought the patients were going to be back in their rooms?" He shook his head.

"There's no need. They can wait 20 minutes until we get there." Fair enough, it's not like they had anywhere else to go. He took you through the halls and you ended up towards the back of the hospital? It seemed to have been the back of the hospital. When you went through the last set of double doors it opened to a large room, the size of a small auditorium with a third of it being open leading to the outside. You saw the killers were uncuffed, not a chain in sight but, security guards lined the whole room and you knew there were a bunch outside. This was much better than you thought.

"They even unchained Pyramid Head." You were wonderfully surprised when he didn't have his helmet on and was sitting on a bench looking at a bunch of flowers along with Bubba and Jason picking some. You found that was so cute that they liked flowers. You looked around and saw Danny taking pictures, Stu and Billy doing some sort of crafting or talking, Vincent and Bo sculpting, Michael working on his masks, Hannibal reading, Evan and Philip reading while sitting with Legion who were doing their own thing, Freddy was being a menace walking around bothering everyone, Norman was with Brahms playing card games, Anna was organizing stuff and Amanda was sitting in the corner looking at everyone. Interesting. 

"Well, what are you standing around for? This is your chance to get to know them. We already know how much you adore the Executioner." You smiled at Randall who disappeared to go outside probably where the other nurses were. You stood there contemplating where to go, and who to see first but, it seemed your questions were answered for you.

"You look like an idiot." Without missing a beat you turned to Freddy with pretend shock

"I didn't know I was wearing a mirror." He blinked not expecting that answer and you chuckled at him, walking to a random table to place your stuff down listening to the man follow you and sit down in a chair next to you. You were facing the others in the room so you had a view of all of the patients while you took out your crochet project. You were working on a beanie. 

"What's that you're making?" You hummed glancing at Freddy before looking back at your project. 

"It's a beanie for me. I made a lot of these before. It's a pretty simple pattern." The two of you were silent while you did a couple of rows before putting it away to see if there was someone you could hang out with. 

"The freak picking flowers thinks you're pretty." You turned to Bubba and Jason trying to figure out which one it was since they both were picking flowers. "Both of them." You raised an eyebrow at him, humming 

"You must think low of yourself if you're calling them freaks." That was not the first thing you thought was going to come out of your mouth but, it did and you turned in surprise to stare at Freddy. "I didn't know I was going to say that." He grinned snarkily.

"You're a cheeky little shit, aren't you... I like that." You smiled at that and was going to turn back to your crochet before he spoke up again. "Still don't like you that much." You pressed your hands to your heart dramatically turning to him and batting your eyelashes.

"Oh, and I just thought my good looks would get you to pour all your feelings and undying love for me." You cackled from the gut at the way his face contorted. "You're funny Freddy, I kinda like you." It was silent as you looked around to see who else you could bother or vice versa. You noticed Jason and Bubba were looking in your direction so you decided to go to them. 

"Don't break their heart now." You turned with a grin at Freddy.

"Only want to break yours." You gave a finger heart at him, laughing when he gave you the finger. You had left your lunch and crochet stuff there to see what the two men wanted. They seemed nervous as they fidgeted with something in their hands behind their backs. Pyramid Head was still sitting just observing so you patted him on the shoulder and smiled at him as a greeting getting a head nod from him. Progress! 

"Uh..." That's the first time you've heard Jason's voice and you were momentarily stunned. It was deep and raspy from not being used and you caught yourself smiling at him bigger.

"Yes, Jason? Is there something you want to tell me or show me?" You were trying to hide your excitement about him speaking even if it was a single word but, you weren't doing a great job. 

"Hm." It seemed he was done with words and thrusted forward a flower crown. You gasped grabbing and placing it on your head with a large smile. You've never gotten a flower crown before! You always used to buy them or make them yourself or your mama would do it for you.

"This is so pretty, I love it. The daisies, lilies, and wildflowers complement each other so well. Thank you Jason for being so sweet." Without thinking you reached forward to give him a brief hug and he froze up completely, he crashed and was rebooting. You turned to Bubba who seemed to have deflated at the attention you were giving Jason. "I didn't forget about you, Bubba! What you got there to show me love?" You tried peaking around his large frame but, he made a huffing sound and brought his hands forward to show flower bracelets. You were being spoiled! "These are for me. Ooo I'm going to be a real flower child now." You gently took them out of his hand and placed one on each wrist sticking your hands out to admire them. 

"For...you." You perked up at the sound of his voice. No way you were this lucky to get two of the silent ones to speak! 

"Thank you so much, Bubba. I love it so much, you're so talented." You reached forward to hug him and he let out a grunt patting your arms and you let him go. You stood back watching as he made another noise and turned back around to the garden. You looked over and saw Jason had gotten up and was going outside. You definitely broke both of them with physical contact. You got up and looked around at the others noticing they were watching you, some not making it obvious like others.

"This is going to be interesting." You turned around smirking at one of the guards who commented and turned back around to face your patients. Yes. Yes, it will be.
