Everest
Having had to navigate this day on his own far more than he'd have liked, Ever could feel his social and emotional batteries running extremely low. So it was that as soon as Mateo came into view, the boy gravitated to his friend like a magnet. "Hi." He mumbled under his breath, refusing to make eye contact with any of the workers or Lisbeth for fear that more tasks might be placed upon them.
Though Ever was not prone to lying, excuses like my mom needs me at the Tower, or my dad is involved in a high profile crime and I need to take notes about it bubbled heavily on his tongue. He might have been tempted to use them were it not for Mateo at his side. "Do...you think any of your plants at home need watering?" He wondered, knowing his friend would understand this innocuous question as the plea for help it was.

But if the song never stopped, it wouldn't have any magic
So even though it's gotta end, I'll keep singing along
So even though it's gotta end, I'll keep singing along
