Summary:

Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.

It wasn’t like leaving was an option. The white walls and green tubes were the only places Tim was allowed to go outside of his room.

Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.
