It was a success. the ritual has gone well, now they just have to wait for the others to wake up.

watching all their wounds close up, disappearing as if they never happened.

Pinki stayed by the side of her boyfriend, patiently waiting for his eyes to open. Brud was outside, eating moss as bandages covered half his face. Funbot, holding mr fun computer, lingered by their creators. gray and jevin both stood by..

everything is finally over.. everyone can go back to normal.

Oren was the first to open his eyes, and the first one he saw was pinki. "Oren.." he didn't recognize her at first, with bandages covering most of her face. but the pink bunny ears helped him realize who she was.

"pinki..? your face.." Oren was soon pulled into a tight embrace as she buried her face into his chest and sobbed, he wrapped his arms around her with a smile. his heartbeat her lullaby.

Raddy felt around his face, the last thing he could recall was being hung.. everything hurting as he slowly lost his consciousness. yet here he was, alive and well.

clukr didn't feel the upper half of his face at first, but sighed in relief as it was still there. he looked over to garnold, and the moment he saw him alive and well.. he rushed over to him. "clukr! your alright!" garnold said, happily.

then they looked over to their creations. their expressions filled with joy as they ran to them, forming into a group hug.

vineria watches them. her eyes still hurt a bit and yet a smile grows on her face, she turns to OWAKCX.

he was looking around frantically, his eyes darting around the room as he mumbles to himself.

sky was crying as if he awoken from a nightmare, that nightmare being the pain of metal bars penetrating your head.

then someone walked up to him, it was tunner. he held out a teddy bear and gave it to sky. hugging the stuffed animal was enough to bring him out of tears.

Wenda.. the one who aided in the killings.. although she was being controlled, pinki and others couldn't help but glance at her with distrust.

the same went for durple and simon, who were the last ones to wake up.

simon looked around the room, most of them were in hospital gowns. brud happened to walk back in, just finished eating all the moss he could find.

"Simon, your up! brud is so happy to see you!" simon couldn't help but look at his bandaged friend. "brud.. hey, what happened to you.."

then it all came flooding back to him.. he caused this. so overcome by hunger, he mistook brud for chocolate.. and that resulted in him loosing half of his face.

he caused this. he caused this. he caused this.
he caused this. he caused this. he caused this.
he caused this. he caused this. he caused this-

his eyes darted around, searching for something. anything. he grabbed the nearby trashcan and vomited, trying so hard to get out all that blood.. the guts.. the bones..

"simon? is simon sick!?" brud asked with worry, still ignorant to why half of his face is gone.

durple rushed over to his friend. rubbing his back in circular motions as he continued to vomit his guts out.

then durple had a realization of his own.. when Simon approached him, he attacked for no reason. he didn't know why, but whatever black used to infect durple had transfered to simon during the attack.

the yellow sprunki finally stopped vomiting. he looked at brud again, tears slowly begin to stream down his face. "I.. I'm sorry.."

"huh? for what?" brud remained innocent as always.

simon began to sob, muttering the words "I'm sorry" over and over again as brud hugged him.

"Simon didn't do anything! why sorry?"

"yeah.. why are you sorry, simon?" durple thought to himself. "wasn't that my fault?"

everyone's houses were starting to become more recognizable, that's wonderful! they will all have a place to live in again.

"hey pinki, hows your house coming along?" Oren asked me, "I think it's halfway finished already!" I said cheerfully.

oren.. he's such a sweet guy, what would I do without him? ever since we met, he has always been by my side just like I've always been by his.. I don't know if I'd even have the strength to go on without him..

we continued to walk around and saw Simon and durple, they were the ones who were helping out the most.. it's sweet of them.

"oren! we're almost finished rebuilding your house!" Simon yelled. "that's great! keep up the good work, you two!" Oren gave a thumbs up to his friends with a smile so bright.

simon and durple were INSISTING on helping with the reconstruction, maybe it was because they used to hurt so many.. no.. they were infected, they weren't themselves..

but even now, they're both acting strange.. durple has been avoiding eye contact with simon, he was also being a little more distant, whenever simon talked to him.

simon wasn't any better, I noticed how he'd look a bit sick whenever he and brud met, though he would try to act like his confident and cheerful self.. way more than usual.. i'm worried for both of them.

we also saw vineria! she was watering her flowers and sported a new wig, wisteria vines tied into a braid looks really cute on her! she was also talking to..

oh.. her..

wenda was helping her with the gardening.. she was talking about lilies, how it's her favorite flower.. the lilies do look beautiful..

 why do I hate wenda..? I know she was controlled by black, just like simon and durple.. but why do I think differently about her?

is it the fact she ripped off my face..?

 is it the fact she hurt and killed so many..?

 is it the fact she took the life of oren..?

she wronged me in so many ways to the point I've been having.. violent thoughts.. I don't want to think about that, never again.. why am I thinking about hurting someone..? it's wrong..

why is it wrong..? 

"pinki?" I snapped out of it, I turned to see oren.. he was worried about me.

"are you okay? you've been staring at them for a while.." he asked, "it's nothing.. the flowers look nice" I responded, trying to forget about what's in my mind.

"yeah.. they do look pretty nice, don't they?" he always knew how to lighten the mood..

jevin is the reason why he's still alive.. he's the reason why everyone's still alive.. I should thank him again when I get the chance.

"hey, durple!" I heard a friendly voice call out to me, Simon..

"hey, how've you been?" I asked. "I've been great! my house got rebuilt yesterday, it's so nice to finally be home!" he responded, a smile on his face like always.

"how is your house doing?" it was his turn to ask me something, "it's being worked on.. I still have to sleep at the campsite" the campsite was comfortable too..

...

I can't look at him.. I just can't.. I shouldn't have attacked him, I didn't want to attack him but I did it anyways.. why is he wasting his time on me? why? especially after what I did to him..? he became a monster because of me..

"durple, you there?" that same friendly voice.. "oh, sorry.." I replied, scratching the back of my head.

"I was about to tell you.. a coffee shop just opened! you wanna go there and get a drink? you seem tired" a coffee shop?

I agreed to go with him, I probably was tired anyway..

he should've been scared of me, but he's not.. is he hiding that fear? why would anyone wanna talk to someone who hurt them?

simon.. his smile is beautiful, his eyes are filled with joy, and yet I attacked him.. got him infected.. i'm sorry, simon.. I wanna tell him that millions of times but it would never be enough.

oh.. I never noticed that we arrived, silly me.

we walked into the coffee shop. the scent of the coffee was nice, we eventually placed our orders.

simon ordered a chocolate cappuccino and I ordered a regular coffee, we both found our seats.

I took a sip of the coffee I ordered.. it was amazing! not once have I ever tasted a coffee this good.

me and simon chatted a bit more, we talked about how good the coffee tasted here. I still avoided eye contact.. oh hey, it's brud.

"Hi guys!" he waved as he walked up to us. "hey, brud..!" simon was the first to greet him, I waved back.

"does black juice taste good?" he asked with curiosity. "yeah, it does" I responded, trying not to question what he called the drink.

"you okay?" simon looked at the bandages on brud. "yeah, brud is ok!" he always talked in third-person, but it wasn't bothersome at all.

"hey.. I'm gonna use the bathroom, be right back..!" simon excused himself as he walked away.

it was just me and brud now.

"does place have moss?" brud was the first to speak, "no, brud.. sorry" he always loved eating moss.. we all kept him from it at first, but we decided to let him eat it. he wasn't really gonna stop.

finally, simon came back after what seemed like 20 minutes. we said our goodbyes to brud as we left..

I think I'll visit this place again, someday.

I could still hear his agonized scream when his suit crushed him.. I could still see the broken visor revealing his lifeless eye.. I don't want to remember any of that.

I understand why he asked for his suit to be upgraded, I don't blame him at all. we began working on the suit, starting with removing the springlocks.

they were pretty hard to get out, but eventually the springlocks were removed.. his suit is already starting to become much safer.

it had become night before we knew it. "you should go to bed, garnold.." I'm used to not getting any sleep, he isn't. "why don't you go to bed as well?" he asked me, to my surprise.. guess he caught on.

"I guess I had a lot of coffee.." I replied. garnold just gave me a worried glance.. "I'll be fine, okay? you need rest.." I reassured him.

although I could still see a hint of concern, he nodded. we exchanged good nights and garnold headed to his room.

then I went to funbot and mr fun computer. as I expected, they were still up. "alright, time for you both to recharge" I said to them.

"aww.." mr fun computer said, a sad face showing on his screen. "hey.. your gonna need it so you can have a full battery tomorrow" I reasoned with him.

"alright.. see you tomorrow!" mr fun computer said before I shut him off and set him to charge. "see you tomorrow.."

...

"my scannings have indicated that you haven't been getting enough sleep" I heard funbot say.. did he tell garnold that?

"I'm gonna be okay, please don't worry about me.." everyone is worried about me for some reason.. do I have to keep saying those words..?

funbot gave me a warm smile. "good night, creator" he said as I shut him off as well, setting him to charge like mr fun computer. "good night.."

I got back to work on garnolds suit. I devoted my whole time to making sure that there wasn't mistakes, one mistake could take a life..

working.

working.

working.

working.

wor-

I see garnold standing there.. the sky is red and the clouds have eyes, I thought it was over.. no.. NO!

AAAAAUUUUGGGGGGHH!!

his screams.. oh, his screams..

AAAAAHH! AGHH– ack.. aagh..

gurgling.. I try to help.. get the suit off.. get it off..! GET IT OFF!

"should've never added the springlocks, hehehe..!"

a voice.. from a maniac.. that wide grin coated in the blood of many..

she raised her hands.. I embrace fate..

I wake up.. I don't remember being on the floor, I guess I passed out..

Chapter Text

me and vineria have gotten pretty close lately. we have been hanging out and talking about flowers, she is one of the few people to not treat me like a monster.. I feel grateful.

mr sun was lowering, the day is coming vto an end. "see you tomorrow, wenda!" she said as she walked off, we said our goodbyes as I headed to the campsite.

the campsite was a place for those who are still homeless, unfortunately.. I was one of them! either they want to rebuild my house last or they're still working on it..

a few others were also there, brud's bucket was being poked by OWAKCX and durple was sitting near the fire. I decide to take a seat next to him.

"hey" I say as durple turned towards me. "hello, wenda.." he waved, a stoic expression still stuck on that face of his.

I wanted to start a little chat with him, so I asked "how is your trumpet collection?" which made him perk up.

"well.. I've been collecting all sorts of them, wenda. you see.." and I listened to him going on and on about his collection.. so much that I didn't even realize it was time for bed.

we said our goodnights and I got into my tent, it was pretty comfy.. not as comfy as my house but still.

then I drifted off to sleep.

...

the sky is blue and I'm walking on a grassy field, I hear the joy and laughter of my friends.. I wanted to join them, I want to laugh and play too..

then one blink and the sky is red, I am now standing on a scorched field.. I hear screaming and crying, why do I have a knife? why am I covered in blood?

I see oren, his ribcage is split wide open and he's lifeless. blood was trickling down his eyes..

I'm sorry, oren..

next I see sky, metal rods piercing his face.. he's crying. raddy was hung on a colorless mr tree, half of the skin on his face is missing and his lower half is cut off..

I'm sorry, sky.. I'm sorry, raddy..

clukr was crushed by his own cymbal, it was pretty clear that it was my doing as well..

I'm sorry, clukr..

tunner lies there, a bullet wound on his head..

I'm sorry, tunner..

"you killed them all.." I heard a voice that was gentle and caring once. the pink bunny had her face ripped off, pinki was once my friend too.. we were friends since childhood.

"are you proud of yourself..?" she asked me..

no.. no I'm not..

"then why did you cause all of this.. huh..?"

I..

"why did you kill my beloved..! why did you ruin my face!"

I don't know.. I'm sorry, pinki..

"TELL ME!" she dashed towards me, a gun in hand..

and suddenly.. I'm back in my tent, it's morning now.

maybe they have a reason to treat me like a monster..
