In a room with no lighting, you and Nightmare appear in the blink of an eye. You look around, it's dark and you have horrible memories of the place "Here we are" "Mmmmhh... Nightmare... I actually just wanted to talk to you." "Um, okay, we'll talk tomorrow. So, can I trust that you won't make any attempt on your own life or you want to sleep with me ~?" "NO! I'm fine. I can be by myself." "Great, I'll believe you" Nightmare leaves the room "Good night, Sweetie." He closes the door and you hear the key turning in the lock 'How did I messed up this bad?' You are exhausted and decide to lie down and sleep.

When you wake up, you get a fright when you see Nightmare's face so close, watching you. What a creep. "Good morning, Sweetie, it's breakfast time!" You get up yawning and rub your eyes. You accompany the monster to the same dining room from the other time. The others are there 'Oh, great ...' you think sarcastically. You two sit in your empty chairs. You decide to eat normally, afraid of being punished if you upset someone.

After everyone has eaten, Nightmare says "As you can see, the human named (Y/N) decided to come back to us" His partners murmur among themselves. "N-no, wait. I just wanted to ..." Everyone gives you a death glare "... talk" You finish the sentence in the smallest voice possible. "Sure, Sweetie, we'll talk as much as you like, come on. And you guys, clean up all the dishes." "Yes, boss." They respond and start to collect the dishes. Meanwhile, Nightmare escorts you back to the room. When you get there, he locks the door and suddenly traps you between his arms and the wall. "You have no idea how much I missed you." You freeze and Nightmare takes the opportunity to put his face on your neck "Ah ~ Your negativity has decreased a lot, truly, but it is still so sweet" He tilts his head towards your face, you see everything in slow motion. But, as you are much better thanks to the treatment, you can find the courage to take action, placing your hands in the mouth of the skeleton, preventing his advance "No, Nightmare! I said I just wanted to talk!" You say silent, but firm. Nightmare is impressed by your tone of voice, it is no longer that weak "Hehehehe, ok then, smarty-pants, what do you want to talk about so much?" He steps away and crosses his arms.

You take a deep breath to use your strategy of saying everything at once "How did you knew that Error didn't really care about me? How can I know that you're not lying too? And Ink, Blue and the others, how can I trust someone after that? my whole life after my universe was destroyed was it a lie? why? why is life so unfair? what is the meaning of existence itself and ... " Nightmare puts his hands on your shoulders "Calm down, girl, breathe!" You look at him in front of you, apprehensive, waiting for answers "First: I have known Error for a long time and I lived with him closely, I know very well that he likes his little mental games so it was obvious that he was doing the same to you, as well as did with all the many other previous ones" you think 'So I'm just another one in the crowd for him, as I always was' and you become saddened "Second: I really care about you. You have a potential, as I said before, a destructive potential and would be a great acquisition for my team. It would help to clean up the multiverse of ... unwanted things. Third: you have no way of knowing, but I say this: you will not regret choosing to stay with us, unless you misbehave" you shudder "Ink always knew about Error's behavior, so if he didn't tell you, it was his fault. As for the others, I don't know what their current relationship with Error is like." You remember Ink trying to take you away from Error to a safe place, a long time ago. You feel a twinge of regrets now. "Fourth: if you were alive and had positive or negative experiences, that was not a lie. Fifth: For that I don't know the answer, but know that it's not only for you. Sixth and last: existence itself has no meaning, but each one finds its own meaning for their own life, throughout it. Well, at least that's just my opinion." You are perplexed that Nightmare remembered and answered everything in order. You are very thoughtful "So? What are you going to decide?" "I ..." You hesitate but decide "... I think I can stay here ... for now" "Wonderful, that makes things easier. I say you'll be happy with your choice ... But now, where were we ~? " He uses a finger to lift your chin as you were looking at the floor, making you meet his eyes "No! Wait! WAIT!" You get scared and end up talking too loudly, your mouth fills with blood and saliva, fillets of the mixture run out of your mouth. "Hahahaha, calm down, I was just testing, what if , right?" He wipes the blood with his thumb and then goes to the door "Anyway, welcome to the team, feel free to go wherever you want, just don't leave the castle. And I would not recommend entering the other members' room. We have breakfast at 8:30, have lunch at 12:00 and have dinner at 20:00, but feel free to eat something between these hours. Your first meeting will be in about a few days. Good stay, Sweetie." And with that, he leaves the room, closing the door.
