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

Chapter 12: Choice

After some time I decided to go wash my hands and teeth. 

"Man, something has to be done. My 'guide' over here isn't even stable enough to help me." I whispered to myself, and the plush started to walk toward me. I decided to go to Vade's empty room. It was completely quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Quite literally.

Ping! A pin dropped from the ceiling, and it revealed the plush hanging from a birch board.

"What the heck-" I was startled but the plush started to float down like a feather to my arms. "Eh...?"

"D-Don't t-tell anybody about this...! Okay?"  The plush ordered me, and I nodded a little bit.

"Hm... Why are you so clingy all of a sudden? Is being unstable like this?" I thought outside my head, and the plush opened their eyes wide open.

"Oh. Just Aishite. I can't believe my own parents told me to S.I.U. I don't want to end up dead without effort." It started to glare, then struggled to get out of my arms since I was holding it tightly.

"Can you tell me your real name?" I asked the plush, and it... was sad?

"Look- I am an anomaly. Do you think I have a real name? I have a script here- I mean I just don't want to stay here. Look, trust me. Stay here and wonder about what you've seen so far." 

"What? I don't get it. What do you mean you have a script here?"

"Look. I am here for a reason. I escaped my suffering for something... to meet someone interesting."

"Look. Stop trying to be 'edgy' and 'broken'. You are only abused emotionally, so I don't get why you don't want to 'S.I.U'. What does it even mean, anyways? I bet I suffered more than you in my forgotten childhood."

"This is what they told me, 'Suck It Up you crybaby. Can't you see that we have suffered more than you and lived? You shouldn't hurt yourself. Just SIU.'  You don't even remember your own childhood, Y/N. Just be glad that you have good friends. Those good friends... I wish I had them."

"I- I may not remember my own childhood... but you are just trying to gain my trust! I can't believe you because you might manipulate me!"

"Man, the drink you drank had lasting effects. I-"

"Oh yeah, that drink. I guess I got dizzy for some reason, haha. Why didn't Ruby dispose of it-"

"Nevermind. You must pack up or else... you know."

"Ugh, fine."

I proceeded to get out of Vade's room and get some ice from the freezer. I started crunching the ice cubes, and CJ just glanced at me. 

"Hey." I said, without the usual smile on my face.

"What's wrong? Are you bored or something?" CJ asked, and I just shook my head angrily. "Huh... Anyways! Even though we literally sang our new song days ago, we will make a new song!"

"...Okay. I mean... Yeah! Ha...Ha... Ignore my sarcasm." I growled, however CJ just patted my left shoulder.

"Hmm.... So.... What should we do for our new song?" CJ asked, and I just looked out the window. It was nighttime, so I decided to get up and go to Vade's empty room. "Huh? Oh well..."

"Hey... Uh. Weren't you supposed to pack up?"

"Actually, we will go somewhere."

"Where exactly?"

"To the Ice Cream Parlor... Then to a place of no return I guess."
