Sabre's POV

Cooking breakfast right now and my nerves are kicking in.

Needless to say, I'm scared of what their reactions will be.

I know- weird statement to be coming from me right?

I was a horrible person back at that village. And I feel bad that they had to go through that.

Although I was being controlled, I still could've at least tried to escape.

If I had the choice to go back there and say sorry? I 100% would, without a doubt.

No matter what I had to do to be able to do so. Unless it was dangerous towards me or the people around me, that's when I would draw the line.

I heard 3 sets of footsteps behind me but my mind wasn't in the right place to be able to register it.

"If I somehow end up back in that world, the first thing I would do is say sorry to all those poor innocent people. Even if none of them forgive me. And then I would destroy that STUPID. LAB." I said, letting my anger take control of me.

"THEY are the reason this happened. THEY are the reason I ended up being this.. this monster of a creature. THEY ARE THE REASON BEHIND IT ALL!" I yelled, letting a few tears slip down my face.

I felt the presence of Shadow appear behind me but I didn't pay any mind to it because again, I couldn't register it properly as someone being there.

I stayed silent for a few moments.

Watching as the eggs and toast finished cooking.

"This isn't helping my headache." I said, bluntly.

Tears still streaming down my face as memories replayed in my head.

I looked up at the cabinet to the right of me.

"Do we have any medicine..?" I asked myself a bit more quietly while opening it.

"No. We don't. Because they don't EXIST in this dimension." I said, emphasizing on the word 'exist' and letting more anger seep out of my voice.

I quickly closed the cabinet door, got a few plates and put the eggs and toast on them.

I sat the plates on the counter and placed my forearms next to them, leaning onto my forearms and putting most of my weight on them to keep me standing upright.

I stayed there for a moment taking a few deep breaths to help calm myself down a bit, before even thinking about calling everyone down for breakfast.

The next thing I know I feel a pair of arms wrapped around my torso and I tense up at the feeling.

I look down to my right to find a rainbow hanging onto me.

I stood up straight, looking down at him as he adjusted, still hugging me.

"Rainbow.. what are you doing..?" I softly asked him.

Oww... my throat is starting to get sore from me yelling and crying.

':<

"I'm hugging you." He said into my shoulder. It sounded a bit muffled but I could still hear him.

"Why?" I asked even though I already know why.

It was like a natural instinct, y'know?

"Because you're sad and being mean to yourself..." He replied, being super innocent.
