At least the terrifying purrbeast has a penchant for sleep. You briefly wonder if purrbeasts have dream selves, but the oices stop you from drifting off on a tangent that would occupy you for hours with a simple, no. You whine that the whole fun of it all is the thinking but they say you do not have time for that. You never seem to anymore, not since they arrived. The voices ignore your passive-aggressivism and tell you to listen to Sylvie, they have a suggestion which they want you to voice.

[hF]: No...point...having...powers...if...you...cannot...use...them?

Besides maybe if you made powers and wings appealing enough Asheer would finally join the game.

It's easier to find the temple this time around and when you finally arrive the nightfliers have inched just out of the doorway to greet you. Which is good because your feet hurt. You flop onto the ground and start whining, impressively of course, about how awful everything is hoping to get some sympathy from them. They don't move from the shadows.

You hope that you could somehow test it on yourself, but you know that would probably not work, or it would work, but have disastrous results. Wispy is too powerful to practice on, or she is just really good at hiding her feelings, unlike you.

You manage to work the alchemewhatever. What is it even supposed to do? Your husktop buzzes, and you have two new messages, one from the yelling one, and one from Pifrim. The yelling one is always so rude.

You continue trying to figure out exactly what the alchemewhatever does. There's some weird cylindrical thingy and you really want to fling it as far as you can, but that wouldn't be very productive. You instead decide to pilfer through your sylladex to see if you have food. You are a bit hungry.

You are going to regret this. The voices are making sure you already regret this. It hurt last time, it hurt so badly you thought you might die, so why exactly do you want to do it again? You suppose it might be because it hurt, you never really had emotions that strong and it was exhilarating in a way? And you probably deserved it too. But this time you are not agreeing because you are pinned against a wall an have no choice. This time you are agreeing all on your own.

"okAY," you reply. You close your eyes to concentrate. Wispy's voice echoes throughout your mind. "I know you'll transfer all your negative emotions to him, miss. I know you're trying to practice, but still, just please be gentle, alright?" You freeze for a split second. The first time you used your powers on Natsura, it was just sadness, which was still pretty strong since it was from you. But the negative emotions you're trying to discard have been pent up inside you for so long, about to burst, and it wasn't sadness, no, sadness was not the word to describe them. It was more like depression and grief and anguish.

"I apologiZE IN advanCE," you whisper. "IT migHT huRT." The pressure of all the negative emotions holed up inside of you slowly lessens, and is finally gone. It's a bit tiring to transfer so much negativity, but it was for your own good. You practiced your power and stopped being sad. Everything seems so colorful and beautiful again.

Your normally stoic face crumbles under the sudden blast of absolute agony, your knees give out and you fold to the ground, kneeling in the sand and shivering despite the heat. Your voices have abandoned you, they can handle even fewer emotions than you can, and you feel so alone, so absolutely horribly alone. But a gasp is the only noise you make, the only noise you can make, the only noise there seems any point to make. Everything seems so pointless and oh dandelions you have lost so much! How could you have forgotten; you have lost you very much! And while the agony floods away you feel so very drained, and the feelings still linger in the back of your mind and you just do not move.

You regret this now.

You race over to Natsura and fling your arms around him. "I didN'T thiNK IT wouLD huRT thAT muCH." you whisper. "I'M sorRY." Oh, why do you bother apologizing? The damage is done. If you could barely handle all those negative emotions, and all of your emotions are more intense, then how could you ever think that Natsura could handle them? You whisper another apology. You especially know the crushing feelings of sadness.

Your voices haven't made a peep, not even to reprimand you for agreeing to this. What if they have left you? What if you're all alone now? Sylvie's hug assuages that fear, but not completely. You are still trembling but the worst of it has passed, you just stay still with you chin tucked to your knees, staring unfocused at the ground.

"whAT DO yOU understaND?" you ask, not removing your arms from around Natsura. You squeeze his hand comfortingly. You feel so guilty. Your emotions are too strong, and the fact that you thought that Natsura could handle it just proves that you are an awful friend. You already feel bad enough for cutting out his tongue, why'd you have to do something to hurt him again? Tears threaten to come out, but you blink them away and just sit there quietly.

You trace a picture of Alternia in the sand. It probably seems like you do not care that your home blew up, it probably seems like you do not care abut a lot of things. But you do, you realize that now especially. You squeeze Sylvie's hand back and continue staring at the picture. You know you are not supposed to dwell on the past, but sometimes you cannot help it.

[iN]: its gneiss and all that you care but why are you bothering to comfort a bunch of rock?

It's easier to find the temple this time around and when you finally arrive the nightfliers have inched just out of the doorway to greet you. Which is good because your feet hurt. You flop onto the ground and start whining, impressively of course, about how awful everything is hoping to get some sympathy from them. They don't move from the shadows. "oh come on, whats a trol got to do to get a litle love over here?" Still nothing, they're probably scared. Of what? The mirror monster has shown no signs of existing. "what you guys scared? chil. i kiled the thingymabober. oh and i brought tea." This gets them excited and they start pushing among themselves, finally one nightflier emerging and bowing before you. Now this is more like it!

You need the constant presence of everyone you know surrounding you at every second of the day or you think you might go crazy. You try to hug not-a-ghost but they dodge skillfully away. You go and hug your luscus's body instead, your dandelion wand now abandoned in front of the door.

[tB]: n0ted! (i'd s4y c0ffee, but i re4lly like gummy grubs, 4ls0 g00d 4t hugs 4nd de4d but he w4s very fluffy 4nd s0ft, 4nd prefer4bly in 4 h4mm0ck.)

You have a lot more questions of course, and then answers of your own you'd like to shoot back, but your fingers hurt from the typing. You shake them vigorously in an attempt to stop them trembling as something starts pounding outside your door. But not to worry, you locked it. Even monsters should know locked doors mean stay out!

"sometimES I liKE TO imagiNE whAT liFE wouLD BE liKE IF noboDY evER installED tHE gaME." you say softly, tears slipping silently down your cheeks. What would life be like? You would have remained extremely optimistic and naive. You would have never met Wispy or Gordon. You wouldn't have magical emotion powers, you would have not experienced the feeling of missing an arm, you would still have a living lusus, you would have never died multiple times. Life would be much more normal and peaceful. Yet part of you enjoys the adventure you have been on, enjoyed your missing limb, enjoyed your murderous phase, enjoyed your multitude of deaths. Wispy settles next to you, and blinks up at you, finally looking like a normal purrbeast. She purrs quietly and yawns, curling up to nap again. Gordon flaps crazily above Cervihusksprite a few feet away, and you smile. And maybe, just for a few hours, everything could be perfect. This moment is just you and Natsura and your animal companions. Everything is perfect for a little while. And a little while is all you need.

You manage to work the alchemewhatever. What is it even supposed to do? Your husktop buzzes, and you have two new messages, one from the yelling one, and one from Pifrim. The yelling one is always so rude.

iF: i'm. not. going. to. die.
iF: i. have. a. server. player. and. therefore. i'm. not. going. to. die.
iF: ha. ha. ha. ha.

You do have friends. You have your crowbar, you have Pifrim, and you have...uh...um...yeah, that's probably it. Most of your other friends are dead.

iF: it's. nice. to. hear. that. you're. rooting. for. me.
iF: my. other. friend. just. tells. me. i'm. annoying.

You continue trying to figure out exactly what the alchemewhatever does. There's some weird cylindrical thingy and you really want to fling it as far as you can, but that wouldn't be very productive. You instead decide to pilfer through your sylladex to see if you have food. You are a bit hungry.
