## What happened in the previous chapters ? (spoilers)

During the first chapter, we discover who's Hhen. He is a cute, kind, calm child, but he has some particularities: he's born mute, and is said to be extremely beautiful. We learn he lives in a hospital, along with his adoptive father, who raised him since the day he's born. To spend his days here, he helps the doctors, learns some things (we could say he's homeschooled), draws, plays a bit of piano, reads, but mostly plays with his relatives: he has a small childish-love with one patient he meets often, and two others, along with a specific doctor.

Still, Hhen didn't find anyone in the playroom, he only found Maggie. Trying to communicate with her, in vain, Hhen thinks that she's one of the psychiatric department's new patients, and that she went out of her room without being allowed to. He also thinks that she's not ready to communicate with others yet, and goes to Camille Démir, to ask him to help her. But, of course, she's not there anymore when the two of them go back, only a ragdoll she had not far from her. Hhen decides to take it to give it back to her whenever he meets her again.

Later on, after having eaten with Hallane (his "lover"), Hhen goes to sleep because he feels pretty tired of his everyday life and how plain it is. During that sleeping time, he has a nightmare about Candy Pop, without knowing him, and is waken up by Hallane and Démir. Eating at 5PM with him, then playing more with him, Hhen decides to go back to the pediatric department; where his room is. But, on the way, he sees Maggie again, who seems to be lost, or to follow a clear path subconsciously. Hhen, wanting to give him back the plush, and thinking she just got lost, dashes towards her, and doesn't see that the pediatric department's door has changed into *a blue door.* Noticing it when it s too late to come back, he faints only seconds after finding Maggie back.

## What happens during that event ?

After entering Jason's world, Hhen tries to find a way out of it, like that blue door or any other door. Not finding one, he decides to detail his surroundings, and find some toys, plushies and music sheets, either being scattered around the place along with rags, either being put in cardboxes, either being on the workbench. He also discovers Mr.Glutton, a purple giant plushie snake with psychedelic eyes, and a strong smell.

Not finding any way out, Hhen starts to think that Maggie brought him here, and that he'll ask her to bring him back home once she comes back. He also thinks that she is the one who created all of this. To kill some time, Hhen plays a small tune, and hears something else entering the place.

He then hears a sort of conversation where a girl and a man seem to argue, the man dominating her and strapping her by force to something, taking a handsaw and making her beg for her life, by promising she'll stay with him forever. Though, he doesn't give her that chance, and kills her slowly, making her scream, cry, and beg for 40 minutes; what scares Hhen, petrifying him to the core. Then, Hhen goes out of his trance when Jason faces him. He takes back his plushie, and stares at him with big eyes.

Jason doesn't know why nor how he arrived in his workshop, and asks him so. Hhen can't answer, being born mute, and explains it to Jason after he started to get angered. But, while Jason reads what he wrote, Hhen rushes to Maggie, entering the red-lighted room where the corpse of a girl still is strapped to a wooden table, seeing something horrific. Then, Jason gets him out of the room, and tells him he can't let him go back, now he's heard and seen this.

Jason then has a choice: killing him right away, or making him his chosen, preventing himself from killing him. Plus, he thinks Hhen has such a perfect face, and that it'd be better to keep him alive until Hhen disobeys him. The young boy then tells him he'll obey, what satisfies him. They introduce themselves, but are cut by a loud crash on the other side of the door, in the red-dyed room. Jason then forces Hhen to hide under the workbench.
