--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error realizes something "You're filthy, give me your clothes. Don't look at me like that, I'm not a pervert, I'm just going to wash them for you." Actually, you just don't want him to see your scars "No, please" "You are mine, Muffin, we have already talked about this and you will do as I say". He rips off your T-shirt, wool sweater and scarf all at once, taking them off over your head. You hide the inside of your arms in your body and turn your head to the left. Error notices this behavior "What are you hiding?" He holds your wrist "DO NOT TOUCH ME!" you scream for the first time and then cover your mouth, turn on your side and start coughing up blood. Error is stunned by the situation "Muffin! What happened?" He asks worriedly, getting closer "DON'T GET CLOSER!". You cough up more blood, some tears of pain fall and that makes Error bewildered. A few seconds pass before he decides what to do "Hey, Muffin, stay calm, I won't hurt you, come here". He approaches very slowly "N-no ... please." you can't scream anymore because of your sore throat "Easy, easy. I won't do anything bad." He takes your arm, even though he doesn't like touching, and you repeat 'No, no, no' softly, he pulls you into his lap and hugs you like a baby "Shhhh, it's okay...". A few moments pass before you calm down and breathe gently again.

Error looks at the fragile form in his arms and then notices multiple cuts on your arms and a big one on your neck. He pulls one arm and examines the scars, you are so desolate that you don't even care anymore. "Who did this to you?" His eyes blank "..." "Muffin, who did this to you !?" You shudder at the voice tone. "I... I did it." Error is in shock, knowing exactly what that meant. He then turns your head to the right to see the cut on your neck "And this?" He runs his hand carefully over the wound "Me, too" "But ... how did you ...?" You get full of breath again to say it all at once "One day when I couldn't take it anymore, I took a knife from the kitchen and stuck it in there. Apparently I luckyly didn't hit anything serious. My parents called an ambulance and the doctors saved me. They said it was a miracle. After that, I was admitted to a psychiatric clinic for years. My parents never visited me, after all they never wanted me, they always called me an accident, a burden, a defect, a failure." You pause "An error".

This made Error feel sympathy towards you. "After a long time, I managed to escape and go to the highest cliff I knew, I didn't want them to find me. But then you arrived and ... I think the rest you already know." There was a pause in which Error stopped to process all that "What about all that blood?" "Oh... it's just that when I speak too loudly, my throat hurts, you know, because of the stab, it turned sensitive." Error found out why you speak so softly. Some more time passes and Error realizes that you fell asleep in his arms. He finishes removing your clothes and goes out through a portal.

You wake up and find yourself naked and alone. Then you shrink as much as you can. After a few hours, Error appears with a tub of water and a bucket with things inside. He seems happy that you are already awake. You are embarrassed and flushed. Error notices this and also blushes "Hmm ... I'll turn around until you get in the tub." Error turns and after a minute he hears the water moving, concluding that you have entered the large basin. He then turns again and starts washing you "I can do this myself!" "Nonsense, you're still very weak from not eating well and from losing that much blood" "But..." "Shut it! Your throat must still be sore." You shut up, not protesting anymore. Error cleans up all of you, except the private parts, which he leaves in charge of yourself. He also washes your hair very well. After you get out of the bath, Error helps you dry yourself, then gives you some of his own clean clothes, as there was nothing feminine for him to lend to you. The clothes were too big, but neither of you cares and in fact, Error finds it adorable and blushes imperceptibly.
