Now officially named, Todd did as he was instructed and followed Jess. He could tell instantly that it would be difficult for him to follow instead of lead, because his strides were longer than hers. Even inexperienced in walking as he was, he had to slow himself down considerably in order to walk behind his guide. As they walked, Todd silently marveled at the hallway and everything in it. Many things were strange to him, but he managed to put a name to some if it. Picture, paper, light... The words clicked in his head as he saw each item, and each time he saw an item that had no word, he wanted to learn more about it. Still, he controlled himself, somehow knowing that it was important for him to stay as quiet as he could, to try and remain unnoticed. And yet- "What is that?" He asked, stopping as he walked past a mirror. The image within the glass seemed to be copying him, and this was confusing enough to make him disobey Jess's order to follow her.
