"Alright! Launch was successful! Let's all get some rest!" Toast said eagerly as he stretched his arms.

"Sykkuno can I talk to you?" Corpse asked nervously.
"Uhm, sure!" He responded uncomfortably. Corpse dragged Sykkuno to the hall by admin.

"Is this about you being... an alien?" Sykkuno said already knowing what the answer probably was.
"Yes." Corpse said flatly, he knew it.

"If you want me to cover your back or something you gotta tell me your motive." Sykkuno said truthfully.
"Then maybe I can justify it."
"I wanted to say sorry about killing- and no, it's not that it's-"He cut himself off and paused.

Sykkuno curious asked,
"What is your motive?" Corpse looked caught of guard by his question.
"I don't really have one-" He said with a slight chuckle to himself.
"What? You don't- what's funny?" Sykkuno questioned angrily.

"Nothing- and yes, I don't really have one-" Corpse said catching himself laughing.
"Don't really? What does that mean?" Sykkuno asked, he wasn't one to raise his voice and angry tears began forming in his eyes.

"I don't have anything against these people-" He began as Sykkuno crossed his arms.
"Sykkuno I need to tell you something."
"What? Next you're going to tell me you're actually doing this for fun? That this is all a joke for you? I mean-" Sykkuno responded angrily as he put his finger to Corpse's face.

"No!" Corpse said with an equally angry tone. Sykkuno stopped as he'd never heard Corpse raise his voice, and what if he made the alien on board mad at him.
"No Thomas, I need to kill people or I get even more fucked in the head!"

...

"Don't call me that..." Sykkuno said, putting his finger down and re-crossing his arms as he turned to look away from Corpse.
"Listen Sy-"
"No. I don't want to hear it." Sykkuno interrupted turning fully away from Corpse.

"I'm sorry." Corpse sighed.
"So you've said." He snapped back. Corpse was a little taken aback, since when had Sykkuno become so stern.

...

In the silence Corpse's anger had the time to push it's way out of him.
"Y'know I thought I felt something for you!" Corpse shouted as he arched his back.
"I thought 'y'know this guy isn't so bad- I'll leave him alone.' and that maybe I liked you more than just as a friend- but I guess you don't feel like we should even be friends!"

"No- Corpse I didn't mean-" Corpse's helmet fell to the ground as Sykkuno turned around. He looked the same, but his teeth didn't arch into what Sykkuno perceived as a smile. His right eye somehow looked madder, and his left... no longer looked calmed but hurt.

"Listen Sykkuno, I'm going to need to kill someone." Corpse said sternly as he reached down for his helmet.
"It won't be you, but don't be surprised or mad at me when it happens." He reattached his helmet and began walking off.

"Go to bed, I'll meet you there." He said sternly while turning a corner.
"But Corpse..." Sykkuno thought as he stood in the hall, alone.
"I do care about you..."

"I just thought you didn't care about me."
