9: Just one hug...

<sub>9 and all related items (c) Shane Acker
13 (c) ~Tifa-the-Strange

13 spent the remainder of her days almost locked up by 1 thanks to the whole "unlucky" suspicion, since her number is not the most lucky one. 6 peeks at her whenever she's not looking, curious about her.
6 hides in his corner, drawing out his visions as 8 checks up 13 whenever 1 wants to know that she's still locked up.
One day, as 9 bickered with 1, 6 takes his chance to go and see 13.
He sees the unlucky stitch-punk staring out at the window, she looks behind her to see him as he opened the door. 13 had been getting many visits from 6 but not as long as this time. He took her quickly to his drawing corner to show her his drawings, some she had already seen and others that were new.
He keeps looking at her, fiddling with his pen point fingers. 6 listens to 1 plans about disposing of 13, telling the others that she was responsible for all of their unfortunate events (from 5 losing his eye to how the flying creature found their home). Many of the stitch-punks don't agree yet 1 keeps on saying that she will be sacrificed for their own safety.
6 shuddered and looked at 13 sadly, he tapped her shoulder before hugging her from behind.
"6! Wh-what are you--"
"J-just one... sm-small hug..."
13 couldn't say no to 6, even if she tried, the look on his face made her feel sorry for him, but also because she wanted the sweet gesture for her long time being isolated from the rest of the so-called family.
3 & 4 recorded the sweet moment between 6 and 13 from their hiding place, hoping to show what they've seen to the rest of the stitch-punks, not counting on 1 nor 8.</sub>

We all know that 6 is the lonely, abused artist (abused mostly thanks to 8 ;-; )
He. Needs. LOVE!!
And for those who wonder who is drawn behind 6's head, it's ~AugustRaes's OC, π 3.14, or Pi in other words, since he draws her a lot in chapter three of her story --> [link]
