Fundy sighed as he approached the door. He looked down at the box of candies he was holding and lightly knocked on the door.
About a minute later, it opened. Fundy looked at Skeppy apologetically as tears streamed down Skeppy's face. Skeppy sniffed and let him in.
Fundy sat down on the desk chair. "How are you, Skeppy?"
Skeppy paused for a moment and broke down. Fundy listened to the sad muffled sobs coming from the heartbroken boy.
Skeppy wiped his tears and looked up. "Thanks for c-coming to s-see me." Skeppy struggled through his quickened breath.
Fundy smiled softly and placed the candy box on Skeppy's desk. "Anytime, Skeppy. I know that...breaking up with Bad was hard for you."
Skeppy nodded. "Does he s-still hang out w-with Halo?"
Fundy sighed. "I don't know, Skeppy. I tried talking to him but he...he didn't understand."
Skeppy felt his anger arise. "Does he miss me?"
Fundy nervously scratched his ears. "Bad said...Bad said he doesn't care anymore."
Skeppy clenched his hands. Diamonds broke out of his shirt and covered his arms and face. He cried harder, making a crystalized tear form and drop to the floor to shatter.
Fundy quickly got up and sat down next to Skeppy, being careful of not getting cut from the diamonds. "Shhh, Skeppy, it's ok. Calm down. Take a deep breath, in, and out. How about we do the 5 test? Hm? What're 5 things you can see?"
Skeppy looked around as more of his tears dried. "My...my desk."
Fundy nodded. "And?"
"And...and my chair. And t-the door. And m-my bed. And you."
Fundy nodded. "That's good Skeppy, that's good. Now what about 4 things you can touch?"
Skeppy slowed his breath down and focused. "The bed, my pants, my shirt, and...and my...my diamonds."
Fundy smiled. "Okay, and three things you can hear?"
"Your voice, my voice, and the AC."
"Good, now 2 things you can smell?" Fundy asked.
Skeppy paused. "The box of candies you b-bought me and...and..."
Fundy rubbed Skeppy's back. "It's okay, you don't need to list everything. What about 1 thing you can taste?"
"I...I don't know..."
"That's fine too Skeppy. Now, are you feeling a bit better?" Fundy asked the diamond boy.
Skeppy nodded. He watched his diamonds disappear and plucked a crystalized tear off his cheek.
Fundy smiled. "Bad will come to his senses, Skeppy. You did the right thing." Fundy side hugged Skeppy.

Dream sang as he entered the cell. He smiled and sat down in front of Sapnap. Dream visited Sapnap every day now, to talk to him and just hang out with him. Dream found it calming to visit him.
Sapnap concentrated on the fire he was making. It looked like a dragon.
"Woah, that's cool, Sapnap." Dream smiled as he watched his friend make the dragon fly.
Sapnap stopped the fire and turned towards Dream. He smiled.
Dream sighed. "How was your day today?"
Sapnap stared at Dream.
Dream chuckled. "Mine was ok. I found a weird book from one of the Altres on the second floor yesterday. I'm not sure, but I think Ranboo is his name."
Sapnap cocked his head to the side.
"I hope we can heal you Sapnap. It'd be nice to talk to you where you...can talk back, you know?"
Sapnap picked at his charcoaled shoelaces. Dream sighed. "Guess what, I tried learning more about this Foundation and I got nothing. This just seems so...obscure. And it feels like I have no real friends here. Just, co-workers."
"Friends."
Dream whipped his head around to Sapnap staring at him. He raised his eyebrows. "Did you say something?!"
Sapnap paused. "Friends," he said.
Dream laughed in amazement. "You can talk!"
Sapnap took Dream's gloved hand and formed a fire over it. The fire twisted and shaped into what looked like miniature Dream and Sapnap hugging. Sapnap pointed at the fire figure then pointed at Dream. "Friends," he repeated.
Dream smiled. "Yeah, we're friends!"
Sapnap shook his head. "Past."
Dream dropped his smile and looked at Sapnap confusedly. "We were friends in the past?"
Sapnap nodded happily.
Dream thought for a moment. "Huh. So...how come I didn't recognize you?"
Sapnap started playing with fire again.
"But...you remember?" Dream asked.
Sapnap stopped playing and looked up at Dream. He smiled.
