Jack exited the car. He gazed upon the large manor. This was to be his home for the rest of his life. The past few days he had spent in the hospital recovering and getting to know the Contiellos. He vaguely remembered meeting Roberto once when him and his father preformed together. Although he did not remember Leviathan. As he walked up the steps the door swung open and Squigly stood there with a smile on her face. "Come on Jack!" She said as she grabbed Jack's hand and excitedly pulled him inside the house, nearly pulling him off his feet. Jack had spent the last few days aqainting himself with her. She was good company. Not to mention kind. He looked up at the grand house. It was as big as his, maybe bigger...he thought to himself. She lead him through the house and eventually into a large room with multiple couches. Roberto and Selene sat on one such couch. They smiled as Jack and Squigly entered the room. "Hello Jack. Welcome to your new house." Selene said. "Thank you" Jack responded quietly. "We have a gift for you" Roberto said as he pulled out a flat white box. He handed it to Squigly and she brought it to Jack. Jack blushed in surprise. He opened the box and a black, bottom faced mask lay inside. He was confused at first but then quickly realized that the white bandages were still wraped around his mouth. He picked it up and examined it. "I picked it out. It's adjustable and even waterproof!" Squigly said excitedly. Jack was surprised. His new family was kind beyond belief, and he knew their kindness was genuine. "Th-thank you." Jack stuttered. He didn't know what else to say. "Well, try it on." Roberto said. Jack shifted uncomfortably. "Well, um..." Jack pointed to his mouth. All three of them looked at him, confused. Then all in sync they all understood. "Down the hall, to the left dear." said Selene. "Thank you" he said awkwardly. So far nobody knew what his face looked like, not even him. Maybe it wasn't as bad as he thought. He reached the bathroom. And closed the door and locked it. He looked at himself in the mirror, and looked at the bandages. Under them he could feel nothing. He reached behind his head and slowly started to unravel his bandages. He closed his eyes as the wrappings fell to the ground. His heart was racing. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately closed them again. In a split second he had seen everything he needed to. He picked up the mask and wrapped it around his face and connected it behind his head. He opened his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror. The mask fit like it was made for him and covered every burn and scar. It was perfect.
Jack walked back toward the room. He was wearing his new mask and he doubted that he would take it off very often. He had no intention of showing his new family what he truly looked like. He entered the room and the family all looked at him. "Well don't you look dashing!" said Leviathan. "Yes quite handsome." said Selene. Jack knew they were exaggerating, but he appreciated it anyway. Nothing really changed but the mask did look natural. "Thank you." I love it." Jack said. Squigly had a big smile on her face, obviously pleased that he likes it. "Squigly dear show him around a little more will you?" Said Roberto. "Ok!" said as she offered Jack her hand. He took it and they were off.
