Sykkuno laid on and slid down the door. He could now extinguish the face of the other imposter. One of the "scary" ones. 

"Well," Sykkuno thought, "with that guy as her partner, Rae might actually win..."

There is a saying that people start to have flashbacks of the most important people and events right before they die. 

Sykkuno was with his family of six in their house in LA. What were they celebrating again? Oh yeah, his 12th birthday party. He was glad when he realised that his parents only invited a few of their close relatives and friends to it, otherwise he would have to deal with social anxiety even during his birthday. When he though "a few" he really meant it. Only 3 children. His quote friend cousin unquote, and two of his classmates, Rachael and Jeremy. 

It was them who also reported the bullies when Sykkuno was around 14. Some of the bruises stayed until today. Every day, dragged from the toilet to the alley. Injuries all over the place but the face. They didn't want it to be found out. But Rachael and Jeremy noticed anyways, after a week of that routine. Sykkuno had been hidden from the fact that they were the ones who reported those bulky tenth graders - he genuinely thought that those people were simply moving away from to Florida - until when they coincidentally met each other during streaming. 

It was after college. He never related Toast to Jeremy and Valkyrae to Rachael until when they actually talked to each other on discord. The original Three Amigos separated during high school, and reunited again at the prime of their age and career.

The last flashback was the first time after a decade when they privately talked about their childhood together, at OTV house when the others were away. He and Toast got really drunk that night since melancholy took them over. He was glad that they met new friends and lived the life that millions if not billions of people dreamed to. But adulthood is different from childhood. When you run away from the same outline of the bulky figure, instead of bruises, the threat was death.

That guy didn't rush. He took his time to walk to Sykkuno, who was sitting on the ground at the moment. Sykkuno could tell that he intended the tension to last, to make his death as mentally tormenting as possible.

Eventually, with a grin, he raised the blade of the knife. "It's not gonna hurt, little sprout." That one said.
