|Inverted Echoes| If Y/N was in Starlight Mayhem

Chapter 11: My Melancholy

"Hm...? Oh Y/N! What are you doing?" Vade exclaimed, and I opened my eyes slowly, and she held some ice.

"Hey Vade! I was just a little tired and-" Vade cut me off and shoved something soft into my arms. "Here, it dried."

"I thought it was being washed-" I replied but Vade cut me off once again. "We have good technology, you know.

"Y/N! I can't breathe in here LOL! Let me out!" The plush was wheezing and I put it on the table. It looked lifeless, yet it still whispered to me.

"Sorry-" I was cut off and it seemed to glare at me.

"Thank you haha... You don't have to apologize, Y/N! I just can't breathe in extremely small areas with no oxygen..." It stopped glaring and moved a little bit. I was surprised that it moved, and after Vade left the room, it jumped. I was surprised, but it then gave me a picture of the whole band.

"Oh! Thanks!" I thanked the plush before putting the picture into a box.

"Hey! Y/N! Our competition!? Like, are you ok?" CJ exclaimed and I almost fell down. Y'know, like a klutz?

"Yes, I am fine. I- I give up, sksk... I need a drink." I told CJ and he kind of smirked at me. "Man, I am so tired..."

"Tired? Woah, Y/N! You are tired that fast? I literally packed 20 boxes and put them over there!" CJ replied, and I smiled at him sarcastically. "Eh? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"... Anyways, what happened to Ruby, Mark, and the other band members? Are they okay?" I asked CJ, and CJ looked at me then smiled.

"Oh, they're packing up, too. We are probably moving into a bigger house with more rooms." CJ replied, and I was still sad like heck.

"I... uh... Don't really want to know what will happen the next year. You know..." I said, and I looked out the window.

"Huh? That's pretty random. We know we will make new songs and all!" CJ exclaimed, but I just just gave him an awkward smile. I got my video game console and booted up Ultra Jump Mania!

"My man... This new game is gonna be sold out in weeks!" I said, and looked at the box of video games that I had. CJ walked out of the room with the box, and this conversation ensued;

"You sure? Haha. Pathetic. Getting a limited edition NEW 2DS XL is quite harder to find rather than a new game being sold out." 

"Sir, I meant that it's popular now. Some kid planned a raid on a certain company and the black market is selling those games now. So... I didn't buy them legally. I am going to get arrested if they find out. LOL."

"So... When is a new song gonna come out...? I am waiting. Usually singers and pop stars take so long to make new music."

"I don't make the songs... I just sing them."

"Hmph. Are you satisfied of what you have? I don't feel like my life has been enough just by you here. I can't do anything. Animate, sing, 'bok'... You have the ability to do whatever you want."

"It's not easy for me. I have trust issues. I have an identity crisis. What am I supposed to do...? I can't do anything- Not while I don't have confidence. You don't need satisfaction to feel like you completed your purpose in life."

"Y/N, you remind me of my past comrades... They were shy at first, then they stood up for themselves and accomplished their goals... You... You do nothing but sit around and don't put goals for yourself!"

"That's your point of view. I have a goal in life, but I don't know what it is."

"Wow. Impressive. You have a goal. Maybe I was wrong. Surprisingly, we both don't know what it is. All I know it would likely be being a singer, but you never know."

"...Alright. I'll ask you the following questions."

"...What- What do you mean?"

"Well, you judge me. Why can't I judge you? We both have our own mistakes we have commit in our lives, everyone has, right? CJ, Ruby, the others I knew..."

"Well, like I told you- You know what... Here. I found this in the Attic."

"Hm... Wii Deleted You poster? Wha- But I don't wanna suffer! I will live here and not go anywhere else!"

"We will go there if you are at your limits. Look, not right now."

"Phew."

"... I- I am sorry. Haha. I don't feel envy... yet why..."

"Hm...? Is something wrong?"

"No. Not really. You can go away now."

After that conversation, I started to feel... odd. Like, the plush actually had problems and... I don't know. However, I heard some mumbling.

"They told me to S.I.U. I- I can't keep doing this any longer. If Y/N doesn't have a stable guide, who will guide them?"

"Well... In that case..." I started laughing very hard, then tears were flowing on my cheeks, and I couldn't stop. "For an eternity we'll play here together. Right...?"

"Ha... Ha... I'm sorry..."

"Don't Suck It Up."
