We went into Finn's, surprisingly, empty office. It was by far, the most sound-proof room in the house. Mikko shut the door behind us and locked it.

"Now you're going to explain to me what happened." Mikko stated as he walked to one of the two armchairs in the room. I was nervous. I knew my reason for going wasn't going to be what he wanted to hear. I knew that he wasn't going to like it no matter which way I told him, so I just had to get it out. "I went because I thought he might have something I wanted to hear."

Mikko just looked at me, still and non-blinking. He was waiting for me to continue.

I sighed and went to the sofa and sat down. "I know the way you were probably raised was way different than how I was. I wasn't ever taught to instantly assume the worst in people."
