Paranoia put on their blazer over their pajamas, not putting it on properly but simply draping it over their shoulders, more for the comfort of the weight than anything else and exited their room. As they approached Manipulation's room, they were somewhat relieved to see a light on. "At least I'm not waking him up." They raised their hand to knock, but couldn't quite bring themselves to do it.
"I know someone is there." Paranoia jumped back a bit "If it's Ego, I'm not in the mood. Anyone else either state your business or go away."
Paranoia stood there for just a moment, gathering up their nerve "Can I talk to you?" They immediately regretted their decision and started to turn away to leave.
"Where are you going?" Paranoia turned around to see Manipulation, standing in his doorway expectantly. "I thought you wanted to talk?"
Paranoia's eyes dropped down to the floor, and they started fiddling with the buttons on their blazer. "I did...I do"
Manipulation stood there for a moment waiting for Paranoia to continue, when they didn't answer he tried to press them a little "Well?"
"I just...I didn't want to be alone." They looked back up at Manipulation's face, it was very clearly shocked. Normally he hid his emotions well, but clearly he had been caught off guard. He quickly tried to reign it in by coughing to clear his throat and regain his voice.
"Oh, that's" he coughed again "that's a bit out of character for you." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly
"You know what, this is stupid, never mind." As they turned to leave, burying their face in their blazer.
"Wait!"
