Chapter Three: Touchy Subjects.

!!WARNING!! This chapter contains panic attacks and gore.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------All was well so far. Everyone ate, and everyone was happy. "Despite none of us needing to eat, you do a good job at cooking, Merchant!" Ena beamed, taking another bite out of her waffle. Merchant's faced flushed, "nonsense, it was just a simple recipe that I got from some sort of frog from the streets.". Moony laughed, "like how we found you?" Merchant glared at her, "oh har har. Miss ~sphere~". Moony gasped dramatically, "how DARE you! I am THIN now you know!" she put her hands on her hips and scoffed. Ena laughed "and you call ME the drama queen!". "You LITERALLY cry if the SLIGHTEST thing goes wrong!" Moony snapped back, pointing a finger at Ena. Ena put on a pouting face, "but moony dearest~!" she whined, slumping down. Moony's face went red, "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME!?" Merci is now cackling with laughter. Moony crossed her arms, "whatever" she puffed. "Ooooo did Ena just shut up the all mighty Moony~?" Merci cooed, poking Moony's cheek playfully. Moony grabbed her hand, "shut up, Merci!" she glared angrily at her, both of them staring each other down. This went on for another few minutes before Ena noticed something. "Merchant, are you ok?" she asked, glancing over at Merchant who was spacing out with a grimace on his face. "Hm?" he said, snapping out of it, "oh, yeah, just thinking about something.." he sighed, a pity smile on his face. "Whutchu thinking 'bout M?" Merci questioned, putting her head on her puppet. " Yeah, spill it tricycle boy" Moony added, crossing her arms. Merchant looked down and sighed,  this question has been burning into him since this morning. "Merci, do you remember when you told Ena to leave the hallways because she "wasn't safe"?" he blurted out, staring at Merci. Merci's faced dropped, and she lowered her voice. "yeah... what of it..?" she mumbled. Ena tilted her head, confused. "Yeah.. you kinda forced me out of my old home because of it, and i never knew why.." Moony added, now looking at Merci, too. "I want to know what it is that was so threatening to Ena's safety." Merchant locked eyes with Merci. "I...I can't tell you." she said, averting her gaze. "Why?? You literally forced me out of my house and I don't even get the reason?" Moony glared at her, "i want answers, Merci!". "Me too, Merci. I know you said you didn't want to talk about it but if it's so dangerous then-" "JUST SHUT UP,BOTH OF YOU!" Merci snapped, whipping her head back around to them and glaring daggers into them both. "YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T A CONVERSATION I HAVE TO HAVE!" She points at Merchant, "I TRUSTED YOU NOT TO BRING THIS UP, ESCPECIALLY PUBLICALLY! AND IN FRONT OF ENA, AND YOU!" she points to Moony, "IF YOU WANT TO MOVE BACK YOU CAN, BUT YOU ARE PUTTING ENA'S LIFE IN DANGER!". "WHY!?" Moony yelled back, now standing up, Merci gets up too. "I DONT HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO YOU!" she yells, the air in the room becoming increasingly humid and heavy. Moony, having nothing else to say, just glares at her. Merci stands shakily for a moment before stomping into her room and slamming the door. Merchant looks down and sighs guiltily. Moony grumbles, "I'm going home." she states angrily, taking her things and quickly stomping out the door. Merchant doesn't even react. He just stands there, before realizing a certain glitch girl heard all of that. His head perks up, "Ena-" he turns to look at her, but she isn't there. "...Ena..?"

( PANIC ATTACK AND GORE)

Ena was running. She didn't know where to, hell, she didn't even know when she started running, but she needed to get away from all of THAT before her body collapsed on her, which it was going to do anyways. Ena stopped and fell to her knees, tears spilling out of her eyes and creating a large static puddle on the concrete. She was currently in a random small street with no houses, just a few street lights that dimly lit the area. She tried to cry out but her lungs were just filled with more static liquid, that she ended up puking up. This lasted for about 5 minutes until her body grew tired and she could feel herself switching sides drastically.  She didn't understand what was happening to her numb body, just filled with pain. It shot up from her toes into her head where her head was spinning and changing faces at rapid speed. At some point she was able to clear enough liquid from her lungs to scream. Really, REALLY loud. Hopefully someone would help, right? SURELLY they would have some morality to help a poor, Ena. But nothing. Her efforts were all in vain. She puked up more, and more, this wasn't the food from this morning. It was liquid created by her sorrows and panic. And it was only increasing. After what felt like hours, the liquid started to slow down, her head sticking to her blue side, who was balling her eyes out. Her cries echoed across the land but still, nobody heard. Everyone except one. Through all of her panic a pair of weirdly-shaped hands grasped her waist and hoisted her up into their arms. She could feel the vibrations of their voice but no sound visited her ears. She felt empty, only filling with the same static liquid that coated the ground. She could barely feel the person let alone hear them, all she saw was static. She could faintly feel wind as her body began to shut down entirely. After a few more coughs, she passed out completely, her body tired from the puking.

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

Merchant brought Ena through the doors quickly and laid her on her stomach, patting her back so that the rest of the static liquid would come out. He sighed, knowing very damn well this was his fault. He sat down on the couch with Ena laid on her sleeping bag. He rested his head on the back of the couch and closed his eyes, sleep slowly taking over.
