How can the mansion feel bigger? Things are supposed to feel small as you get older, as you grow up and fill the space. Maybe his shoulders hunch more than they used to, maybe he’s in the stage of life where you shrink instead of growing. Maybe he just looks up more than he did in his youth. He’s seen enough of his own shoes in the dirt. He notices how high ceilings are nowadays, he takes in the clouds more.

Philosophy won’t change the size of the goddamn mansion though, nor how many hallways it has and how many wrong turns Johnny has taken in the past twenty minutes. Or how sore his knees are getting.    “Woof,” he grunts to himself, taking a seat under a bay window. “Woof, Johnny.”

Simple problems call for simple solutions. He makes a small wave at the woman coming down the hall to halt her if she has the time, but let her pass if she’s in a hurry. “Ma’am? Have you got a second? I’ve lost my way real bad here. I don’t know how you manage getting around this place.”

Every now and then Johnny treats himself, or so he sees it, to a walk outside the school with Five. A little persuasion towards fresh air and good conversation does them both good. The game has long come to a close and made way for concerted chatter, and Johnny has learned in the past weeks to let Five’s jabs wash over him like water off a duck’s back, especially when it comes to the school. He’s strong in the heart, he could never have taken this kind of role in the community if he weren’t thick-skinned. But - ah, he takes a seat outside the entrance before straining himself with further thought.

   “Five,” he wheezes like a dog toy chewed out of its squeaker. Once settled he reiterates, with a flick of the wrist behind him to the school and the student body: “Five, don’t be cruel. They can’t all save the world. It’s the school’s first prom, and it’s hard enough to put together without your... barbs."
