Think about others.

      The trio were at the counters near the Rockstar Row. They could temporarily calmly think about future plans, but Gregory still couldn't let go of thoughts related to Roxy. He had time to blame himself a hundred times for his thoughts about her before, and at the same time he was thinking about how to get her out of this state of uncertainty, and he just felt sorry for her…       He had a complete mess in his head, accompanied by a serious look on his face. Chica and Freddy saw it. They understood his feelings and were even proud of him in some ways, but they also understood that they needed to start moving on so that soon this adversity would turn into joy, since all problems are solved with the help of these movements. The problem with Roxanne – isn’t an exception! Accordingly, animatronics began to push him to take action.       Freddy & Chica: «Gregory…» – they babbled together at the same time with a smile on their face.       The boy, surprised and stunned, abruptly raised his head at them and said just as quickly:       Gregory: «Ah? What?» – he came out of the astral.       The animatronics laughed softly at this, and then continued:       Freddy: «We should move on, Gregory», – he spoke softly.       Chica: «After all, if we continue to stand like this, nothing will change!» – she immediately picked up the bear's speech.       Freddy: «Correctly», – he confirmed: «We still have unfinished business», – Fazbear said and pointed to the vertical gate leading towards the atrium.       Chica: «You need to improve your pass», – she picked up on Fazbear's speech again.       The boy thought for a while, and then asked them reproachfully:       Gregory: «Um… What about Roxy?»       Freddy: «Gregory, you will not be able to help her properly if you do not have a pass that allows you to enter our rooms», – he said seriously: «You need to go to the cafe on the 3rd floor to get it. Just at this time, you will have time to create a plan for her help. Now you just cannot do anything with her, because she locked herself in her room», – he finished and she immediately joined the conversation:       Chica: «Moreover, perhaps you can meet her just on the way! She will probably calm down in that time. So… you can talk to her later», – she said, trying to calm him down.       The boy hesitated a little at first, but then he sighed and spoke:       Gregory: «Okay… You're right», – he spoke decisively: «Will you take me to that cafe?» – said the boy with a look in which one could see the anticipation of work.       Freddy & Chica: «Of course!» – they spoke joyfully and took him by the hands from different sides.       A slightly happy atmosphere has risen again. They moved towards the aforementioned gate, hopping a little from one foot to the other, along with the boy, who was perplexed by this. The animatronics laughed a little and had fun together, sometimes encouraging the boy. They passed through the gate and entered narrower corridors, but that didn't stop them. They continued to frolic, holding the boy's hands between them.       «What's the matter with them?» – Gregory fell into thought: «What are they so happy about?»       The boy was increasingly perplexed by their behavior. As soon as he asked them to take him to the cafe, they turned into a raging hurricane, especially Chica.       «What happened to make them so hooked?» – the boy began to get hung up on himself: «Do they even give a damn about?..»       Then it finally dawned on the boy. He cooled down his newly inflamed ardor and continued to think:       «Damn…» – under these thoughts, he looked at the floor, and then looked back at this joyful couple: «They try to cheer me up… even in such a difficult moment. But how do they do it?»       The boy drooped again and lowered his gaze to the floor, but then he woke up again.       «Crap… but I really went into grief ahead of time…» – Gregory thought, and then turned his gaze back to the two of them: «They clearly understand that everything will be fine soon. For some reason, they are extremely sure of this».       Then it dawned on the boy again.       «Oh my!» – he started up a little: «And where did my positive attitude go?»       Gregory turned his head to the side again, but this time more vividly. After a little digging into his own brain, he returned to his thoughts.       «Crap… after all, it is thanks to this positive attitude that we have come so far!» – he looked at them again, and then looked ahead: «Indeed! Don't stand still! Must act!»       After that, the boy cheered up noticeably and gradually began to join the rhythm of his comrades. Then he began to look at each of them in turn again.       «Yes…» – it was running through Gregory's mind at this time: «You're good guys after all. What would I do without you?»       After that, his eyes involuntarily began to moisten, but the boy blinked, thereby wiping away the tears.       Freddy: «It is so good that we are together!» – he said joyfully: «And all thanks to your help, Gregory!» – the bear spoke and looked at the boy at that time, and then turned his gaze forward again.       Chica: «Right!» – she confirmed it just as joyfully.       They all continued to frolic, and the boy began to think again:       «But really… It's a symbiosis!» – the boy said to himself: «It's ironic that they said it right now. It's like they're reading my mind».       After that, the boy had an incredible joy.       Gregory: «Thank you!» – he spoke joyfully from the bottom of his heart and began to jump a little higher: «Thanks! What would I do without you? It's so good to be with you!» – the boy said and started laughing.       The animatronics were a little surprised at first, and then they laughed too.       So, the trio managed to walk through the corridors and the 1st floor of the atrium to the escalators. They were already climbing a little more carefully there, but the mood didn't change. They sometimes hummed some random notes and continued to walk towards the goal. By the way, their music turned out to be pretty good. They were running around the floors as if nothing was happening around them at all. It was more like a pleasant walk through some beautiful multicolored field. The trio has already forgotten for a while about the problems in Mega PizzaPlex, and about the virus… They were just enjoying the moment! Some of the security bots were perplexed by these three. Some of them moved away from those, someone tried to tell them to calm down, and some of them even looked at the trio and followed them with a stunned look. It was hard to understand what was in their minds at the time, but it looked pretty funny to the boy. In some of them, Gregory may even have seen some kind of liveliness along with joy for the trinity, and in some, sadness for the fact that they can't do so. They don't seem to have advanced AI, but they behaved quite vividly despite this. Perhaps it's Gregory's imagination that embellishes the whole picture in front of him, but it was all too real. And even if it all seemed to him, he understood that it's faith and thoughts that animate everything around. Can slightly change the reality right in front. He didn't know how to explain it all or prove it using the laws of physics… But he knew for sure that it works. Not always, but works.       «What I want to see – will appear in front of me! Perhaps not immediately, but will appear!» – Gregory thought, looking at the security bots, and then continued to frolic with the animatronics.       The trio began to climb the escalator to the 3rd floor. Their energy did not decrease in any way, so they still cheerfully climbed it, surprisingly never tripping.       A minute later, they finally reached the El Chip' cafe. There they stopped and calmed down a little.       Chica: «And here we are!» – she babbled and then continued: «Well… shall we go?» – and looked back at them.       Fazbear and the boy answered at the same time:       Gregory: «Yes!» – he said, barely restraining his joy.       Freddy: «Of course!» – the bear spoke a little more calmly than the boy, but with a clear hint of joy.       After that, everyone went to the door of the cafe. As soon as they entered there, the boy saw a picture of some kind of Mexican style: all the counters were in colorful mountain patterns. The tables and chairs looked much the same. Plus, there was a colorful statue of a smiling beaver with maracas and a Mexican hat on the counter. Music of the same style was also played in this cafe. They continued walking towards the vertical gate, which would have to let them through other shops towards the security office. But before the trio left this cafe, the boy decided to clarify one small question from the animatronics:       Gregory: «Is this the El Chip?» – he said and nodded towards the beaver statue.       Chica: «Yes!» – she said happily.       Gregory: «And where is he from and who is he?» – the boy said, puzzled.       Freddy: «This is a former animatronic of one of the past pizzerias», – he said calmly: «He used to perform on stage the same way we do now. Mister Hippo and many others also performed in it. But, since the pizzeria stopped working, they are no longer there, while the memory of them remains. Therefore, the administration of PizzaPlex decided to give a feeling of nostalgia to visitors in the form of such signs!» – the bear said it in a casual tone with some enthusiasm.       Gregory: «Mr… Ah!..» – he said thoughtfully, and then continued: «I get it now. Interesting… who else was there?» – the boy asked with interest.       Freddy: «You can already find out this in Internet sources. Everything is described in detail about this», – the bear said, grinning a little towards the boy.       Gregory: «Well-well», – he said and chuckled a little.       So, they passed through several doors, vertical gates and rooms, after which they finally met the security office inside an even larger room. It had iron doors on both sides, which turned out to be open. The trio headed inside the office through the right door. After they got to the security desk, the animatronics stopped and let go of the boy's hands.       Freddy: «That is it», – he spoke peacefully, and then continued cheerfully: «Now it remains to find a security pass!»       Chica: «And then we'll go to help Roxy!» – she exclaimed with joy.       The boy laughed a little, and then went closer to the table and started looking for a miniature Fazbear's head. It was found near some kind of small monitor, also located on the table. Gregory pressed the nose of the miniature bear's head, after which, as always, it opened. It contained a level 5 pass. The boy took this card and put it in his pocket, then closed the container. Then he turned his gaze to the animatronics and said calmly:       Gregory: «Well… let's go?»       After these words, a loud alarm immediately screamed. The exits were blocked. The trio started up.       Gregory: «Oh damn… Again…» – he said in a matter-of-fact and dissatisfied tone.       Freddy: «So-o… we need to disable the alarm system to calm down the security system of the institution», – he spoke in a calm tone with some shades of concern, and then looked at Chica and continued, addressing her: «The two of us urgently need to find a way to turn it off. Let we go out!» – he said seriously.       Chica: «Wait, Freddy!» – she shouted quickly: «I am not leaving Gregory alone! He is in danger!» – she said urgently.       Gregory: «No, Chica!» – the boy broke into the conversation: «If you stay with me, you might get caught, and then I don't know what might come of it. But obviously it's not going to end well for me or for you», – the boy said just as insistently: «In the meantime, go turn off the alarm in 2 pairs of hands, and I'll close the iron doors. It'll be faster this way and I'll be safe for the time being. Don't worry!»       Chica: «But!..» – before she could finish, Fazbear interrupted her:       Freddy: «He is right, Chica», – the bear cut it off calmly: «We need to hurry so that this stops as soon as possible».       Chica drooped a little, but the boy cheered her up:       Gregory: «Don't worry, Chica! We'll meet again soon and everything will be fine again! Let's get to work!» – he said decisively with some joy.       Chica: «Okay!» – she said, overcoming her sadness: «Go!»       After that, the animatronics ran away from the room, and the boy was left alone with the darkness in it. Fortunately, everything in the security office was well lit, so he could more or less see what was going on nearby.       Gregory immediately ran up to the monitors and started looking at the cameras, checking if anyone was nearby. A few seconds later, the silhouettes of Monty and Roxy appeared on the monitors, running from different sides of the room, while still outside its walls. Then they almost simultaneously ran into the room from the side of the right iron door of the security office, after which the boy ran up to it and closed this. A few seconds later, could have heard Monty's hands were knocking on the door and Roxy's claws were scratching it. The boy also saw that the supply of electricity was running out due to the closed door. He wasn't very happy about it. After another 10 seconds, they calmed down, turned around and left the room again. The cameras showed them standing outside the doors of the room and waiting for something. After that, the boy opened the iron door.       «What are they up to?» – Gregory's mind raced: «This has never happened before… Are they waiting for me? But I'm locked up! What kind of games are these?»       After that, Monty entered the room from the side of the left iron door. The boy saw on one of the cameras how the animatronic went through the door and stopped near it.       «No, well, really…» – Gregory thought in disbelief: «What are they doing? What kind of tactics is this?» – after that, he chuckled a little.       Then Roxy entered the room from the side of the right iron door. She also stopped at the door, which is needed to exit the room.       The boy tensed up a little. He stood in the middle of the room and waited for movement to appear on any of the cameras. After 5 seconds, both animatronics moved. The boy ran in fear to the left door, closing it, then, at the same pace, ran to the right and closed it the same way. After another 10 seconds, bangs were heard from the left door, and scratching from the right. The charge of the doors rapidly went down. Fortunately, there was still a lot of it, but still the rate of battery drop was alarming. The boy decided to contact Fazbear through the Faz-watch.       Gregory: «Freddy», – he spoke into his watch as calmly as possible.       [Freddy: «Yes. I am in touch»], – he spoke a little excitedly, probably having heard knocks and scratching of doors on the other side of the phone.       Gregory: «Have you already found a way to turn off the alarm?» – the boy asked impatiently.       [Freddy: «Yes!» – he said more joyfully: «And we are already in the process of disabling it. You still need to be patient for about half a minute. So, be strong!»] – he spoke cheerfully.       Gregory: «Good. Thank you!» – the boy said almost calmly.       [Freddy: «No problem! Good luck!»] – and they broke the connection.       During this time, Roxy and Monty had already left the room again and were standing outside. The boy opened the right door and stayed near it. Since he didn't have long to wait, he didn't spare much energy from the iron doors. Moreover, there was about 65% of the charge left. 5 seconds later, both animatronics entered the room at the same time, only this time Monty was on the right and Roxy was on the left. The boy was just waiting for the alligator to come to him and, finally, he would close the door in front of him. After about 10 seconds, Monty was in the boy's field of vision, after which he immediately closed the door. Immediately after that, violent blows were heard on the right iron door. After another 5 seconds, scratches were already heard on the left door. By this time, Monty had calmed down and walked back to the exit of the room. The boy opened the right-hand iron door. After about 4 more seconds, Roxy also left the room. At the same moment, the alarm turned off. On the cameras, you could see how the animatronics were moving apart. The boy also decided to open the left door so that electricity would not be wasted. 5 seconds later, he received a call from Freddy on his Faz-watch, which he answered without delay.       [Freddy: «How are you? Everything is fine?»] – the bear asked with concern.       Gregory: «Yes, everything is fine!» – he hurried to calm him down: «I'm going to go in your direction now».       [Freddy: «And here there will be some problems», – the bear said a little sadly: «We have calmed the alarm, but the door in our direction has not yet been opened. She is not giving in»].       Gregory: «Well, it's okay! So, I'm going to take a detour!» – he said joyfully.       [Freddy: «Sure?»] – Fazbear asked reproachfully.       Gregory: «Yes! But what?» – the boy said a little perplexed, and then continued calmly: «I won't be able to stay here for long, because, at least, the doors don't have an infinite charge, and, at most, there's not much place to hide here to wait for you in complete safety».       [Freddy: «Okay…» – he spoke with humility: «Just please be careful. We will be waiting for you at the entrance to the El Chip’s Cafe»], – the bear said calmly with some concern.       Gregory: «Okay! I'm coming to you! I'll see you soon. Good luck!» – he spoke joyfully.       [Freddy: «Come on. We are waiting for you!»] – and they broke the connection.       The boy left the security office and went to the right exit of the room. Then he went through a small corridor, after which he found himself in an even more extensive and high room. There were a lot of stalls with plush mascot toys and some kind of gifts everywhere. He surveyed the entire area. It was hard for him to see the exit from here, as there were so many objects around that it was almost impossible to navigate in this place. But still, he was able to spot a vertical gate on the left, and a little to the left of them there was some kind of passage to the glass dome. The boy chose the second one and went to him. There didn't seem to be anyone nearby, so he calmly moved around the room at full height. Beyond the dome, the boy saw another passage into a narrow corridor. The boy went there. When he reached the corridor, he saw a lot of gifts and toys again. The boy went further down the corridor, then passed through a lattice gate and finally found himself in another corridor, which looked a little like a semicircle in its shape. There was a dead end at the end because of the closed lattice, and there was also some kind of solid semicircular table, like in the reception. But the boy paid more attention to the fire exit, which was almost in the middle of the corridor in the right wall. He ran up to it and tried to open the doors, ignoring the two sign-robots that had a wet field warning written on them. They were just standing next to this fire exit. The boy pressed the door handles, but they wouldn't budge no matter how hard he tried.       «Damn… And what kind of fire escape is this?» – it ran through his mind: «Well… Let's just keep in mind that he's here».       The boy looked around the corridor once more and didn't notice anything else interesting here, so he was about to go towards the exit… But! Roxy appeared from the exit, who was about to enter the corridor. The boy was taken aback by this and immediately ran to the semicircular table, after which he hid under it. Fortunately, the table was solid from the bottom, so it was impossible to see the boy there. He looked out from behind the table a little and watched where the wolf was going. She was getting closer and closer to the boy, but she didn't notice him, so, as she moved towards him, she turned away from him towards the closed lattice gate, passing by the table.       «Damn!» – Gregory's mind was racing: «What am I supposed to do now? I'm in a one-on-one ambush with Roxy! Crap… Still, I probably should have stayed in the security office. Or, wait… One-on-one with Roxy…»       Finally dawned on the boy:       «This is the chance to get her back on track!» – thought he: «Moreover, she didn't succumb to the virus as much as the others, so… need to try to do something. But what?..»       The boy began to remember everything about her: the first meeting through the ventilation, her attacks on the security offices, her crying in her own room, and so on… Finally, little by little, everything began to come to his mind.       «So-o…» – the boy was talking in his mind: «Loneliness? Not really, but there is… Um… Lack of attention? Oh, crap! Not this! But what? Self-assessment? … It almost fits! Although… everything is combined here. And how to deal with it?»       Fortunately, he immediately remembered how Freddy and Chica had cheered him up recently when they were going to get a pass.       «Cheering…» – Gregory thought: «It should work…»       The boy gradually began to climb out of hiding and study the situation. There was a stroller nearby, behind which you could hide, a little further down the corridor there was a trash can and then, finally, the counters. In general, there was a lot of room for maneuvers. After that, he saw that the wolf had already come to the gate and was trying to sniff out something there.       «So, okay…» – the boy was saying to himself in his head: «Need to start!»       After that, he started a conversation:       Gregory: «Roxy, do you hear me?» – he said calmly with small hints of fear and anxiety, after which he quickly and quietly hid behind a baby carriage.       The wolf growled and ran towards the table, after which she looked under it, but as expected, couldn’t find anyone there. Wolf began to look around and sniff.       Roxy: «Give up!» – she said and continued to explore the territory.       After she moved away from him a little, the boy spoke again:       Gregory: «We need you! Come back to us!» – he begged and then hid behind a trash can.       The wolf immediately ran up to the baby carriage, opened it and again found no one there, after which she closed it with displeasure.       Roxy: «Give up, while you can! I'll find you sooner or later anyway!» – the wolf shouted more fiercely.       But the boy wasn't going to give up. He's just started.       Gregory: «Maybe we can become friends after all?» – the boy said and then hid behind the counter.       She threw herself at the trash can, almost knocking it over. Wolf examined it again, but found no one inside or near it.       Roxy: «Ha! If you want to be friends with me, then why are you hiding from me?» – she said with passion and a grin.       «Um, yes…» – Gregory thought: «Really… What kind of “cheering” is that then?.. Damn! Stressful! Well… As I'll treat others, so will they treat me. Is that right?..»       After these thoughts, the boy got out from under the counter and went out into the center of the corridor, standing up to his full height, with words:       Gregory: «You're right… Sorry», – he spoke a little guiltily and spread his arms to the side.       The wolf then happily ran towards him, but not with friendliness.       Roxy: «I’m the best!» – she said, and then tried to pounce the boy.       He noticed it and dazedly jumped away from the place where the wolf landed.       Gregory: «Roxy, what are you doing?» – the boy asked fearfully, but then continued in the affirmative while she got to her feet: «No! You're not like that! I don't believe it! You're good! I know that!»       As soon as she got to her feet, she immediately furiously chased after the boy. He also decided not to stand still, and they ran to the semicircular table. The boy pulled away from her a lot, but found himself in a dead end near the lattice gate. Wolf was slowly approaching him, like a predator to its prey, which had nowhere else to go.       Roxy: «Are you saying that I'm your favorite?» – she asked with anger and interest at the same time.       Gregory: «Not really. You’re…» – before he could finish, he was interrupted:       Roxy: «I thought so! You think you're better than me?!» – she shouted furiously and pounced the boy again.       Gregory: «I didn't finish!» – he shouted at the end.       The wolf knocked him to the floor, hovering over him. She gripped the boy's shoulders tightly with her claws, growling right over his face. He hissed a little in pain. After that, she had a grim and same time sly smile on her face.       Gregory: «Roxy… I haven't finished yet…» – the boy said convulsively.       Roxy: «Come on! Talk while you can», – she has spoken smugly and tightened her grip a little.       Gregory: «So well…» – he said even more convulsively and looked into her eyes: «By “not really", I meant that you are a favorite not only for me, but also… for all of us», – the boy said this through periodic hisses, after which he smiled at her through the pain and continued: «We really miss you…»       Next, he tried to stroke her hand with his right hand. For a while, the wolf loosened her grip, but after a few seconds she strengthened it again, from which he hissed again, but didn't taking his hand away yet.       Roxy: «Oh, how you babble, nothing!» – she said sarcastically: «Maybe squeeze you even harder? What if you say something else?» – Wolf said in a triumphant tone.       Gregory: «Roxy… why do you think that about me?» – he said resentfully and lowered his hand, and then after a second turned away from her and continued: «Although… you have every right to do so», – the boy spoke with humility and slowly continued: «I used to have a wrong opinion of you, too… So… in a sense, it's karma».       He was still very much bothered by the topic related to his past opinion of her. The wolf was a little surprised by what was said and slightly loosened her grip. Meanwhile, the boy continued to speak to her in the same tone:       Gregory: «When I first met you… you didn't know about my existence then… it seemed to me that you were a narcissistic egoist».       Wolf tightened her grip on him again because what she heard and growled a little. The boy hissed a little in pain, but continued to speak in the same tone:       Gregory: «That's how I thought about you for quite a long time, until I met… Chica…»       After these words, she stopped growling and continued to listen attentively to the boy.       Gregory: «There was a moment when she decided to tell me about Bonnie. Then Chica was very upset. Therefore, I decided to calm her down and… it just so happened that I calmed her down the same way that, according to Chica, you once did», – he said at the end with a slight rise in tone.       After that, the wolf significantly loosened her grip, but she didn't take her stern gaze off the boy. The boy continued to speak in a low guilty tone:       Gregory: «From that moment on, I began to have doubts about who you really are, but they were completely dispelled when the three of us went up in your technical elevator today, just after I fixed Freddy in the parts and service department… Then I heard your feelings and… Damn!..» – and after that, he was led himself to a quiet scream and he softly cried, closed his eyes, tried to hide his face, but he didn't succeed.       After that, Roxanne began to look at this boy in perplexity.       Gregory: «How wrong I was…» – he spoke intermittently, barely restraining his crying: «If I had known earlier!..» – he talked and paused, tapping the floor a little with his right hand.       Finally, after crying and calming down, after 5 seconds, he continued:       Gregory: «But it's too late… So, you have every reason to be mad at me», – he spoke softly, and then continued, turning his head at her: «But before you vent all your anger on me, I'd like to apologize first for thinking that way about you», – the boy said and turned away from her again: «I'm really ashamed of this. If I had known earlier…»       After that, he paused again, and then abruptly turned his head back to her to say:       Gregory: «And yet!.. They're still waiting for you in their team. They're really worried about you. I mean about Freddy and Chica. Monty is still under the influence of the virus, therefore we… aren't in contact with him yet…» – he said, turning his head away from her a little, with resentment in his face at the end, and then returned his gaze to her and continued: «But still… we really need you. You would help us a lot if you came back to us. And, at least, we just miss you», – the boy spoke a little sadly, and then pointed his finger at her, raising his hand, and spoke: «So, if you're still here somewhere, Roxy, then please help them», – he said and after a few seconds turned his head away from her and put his hand back on the floor.       The wolf looked at him in perplexity. She pinned him to the ground, glaring at him angrily, then loosened her grip again. The boy looked away humbly all this time and only occasionally hissed in pain, but he did nothing more than that. Eventually, Roxanne let go of the boy's shoulders and began to stare at him, standing on knees over him. After another 5 seconds, she got to her feet at all, standing in front of him. Such a scene lasted for about 10 more seconds, which is why the wolf couldn't stand it and, “sighing”, finally spoke with indifference:       Roxy: «Well, why are you lying down?»       The boy only raised his head slowly at her in perplexity and asked with the same perplexity:       Gregory: «What?»       He was drawn back into cognitive dissonance by her behavior.       Roxy: «Why are you lying down, I ask…» – she spoke with the same indifference and folded her hands on her bust: «Maybe will you get up already?..»       The boy looked at her with even greater perplexity, after which he silently and slowly got up from the floor, limping a little on his hands.       Roxy: «Well… It's better…» – she was talking down.       Gregory: «What does it mean?» – the boy asked her in perplexity.       Roxy: «Oh… Damn…» – she spoke and rolled her eyes, after which she continued to speak again more displeased, but with the same indifference in her voice: «About what you?»       Gregory: «Aren't you mad at me?» – he asked, stunned.       The wolf just rolled her eyes again and said:       Roxy: «Drivel… Why should I be mad at you?»       Gregory: «Well…» – before he could finish, he was interrupted again:       Roxy: «For apologizing to me or what?» – she spoke with the same indifference: «I have nothing to be mad at you for. You apologized, didn't you? Yes. Well, that's it – no problem».       Gregory: «Are you serious?» – with a little bit of hope, he asked her.       Roxy: «Of course – not…» – she spoke calmly, turning her head to the side, and then, after a second, abruptly turned on him and lowered her arms, shouting a little: «Well, damn it, yes! How many times do I have to say this to make you understand?!» – at the end, she spoke in a more raised and dissatisfied tone.       The boy just smiled at her. Her aggression was slowly turning into surprise at this. Then Gregory ran up to her and hugged her. The wolf was even more surprised by his actions and was about to express words of displeasure to him about this, but the boy started first:       Gregory: «Thanks!» – he said joyfully: «You're the first one to forgive me so easily».       After that, Roxanne stood there for a while, not moving, and then tried to speak:       Roxy: «Um… Well, you…» – she spoke in confusion, and then quickly continued confidently: «And to hell with you, you little vermin!» – she said and also hugged the boy sharply, lifting him up a little.       The boy was delighted with this and at the same time began to sniff a little from weak crying. He was overwhelmed with emotion again. The wolf heard this and abruptly tore the boy away from her, looking at him in surprise in her arms.       Roxy: «Wh-what happened?» – she asked the boy a little anxiously.       Gregory: «Nothing, Roxy!» – he spoke joyfully, quickly wiping some tears from his face: «Don't pay attention to it. I'm just glad you're with us now… I feel good with you», – the boy said softly at the end.       The wolf just smiled snidely and hugged him again.       Roxy: «Eh you! The baby is still quite…» – she spoke a little more softly, while lightly tapping him on the back.       Gregory: «And now it was a hurtful!» – he spoke a little displeased, but at the same time quietly, and, raising his head, looked at her with indignation.       Roxy: «Aww… Calm down…» – she said pugnaciously, smiling at the same time, and put his head on her right shoulder with her hand: «Don't argue. Being a baby isn't as bad as you think it's…» – she spoke soothingly.       Then the two continued to hug. They didn't let each other go for a long time. There was a feeling that these two had not hugged for several years in a row and, finally, having tasted all the delights of this procedure, after such a long time, they had a very good time. This could be felt especially strongly from Roxy's side: she clung to him tightly, but at the same time quite carefully. The wolf clearly didn't want to let him go for a minute. On her face, one could see the long-awaited peaceful look, usually unusual for her. She, like a child, buried her chin in the boy's shoulder and tilted her head slightly in his direction, trying, as it were, to cuddle up to him. Although the boy still had pain in his shoulders after her grip, he did not pay attention to it in any way. He felt good around Roxy, and Gregory only snuggled closer to her. So, they stayed in each other's arms for a while…
