* Hmm... Yep, it definitely points to 'It'.

╭⋟──────────────────────╮

"Thank you." Blue spoke as he then began to eat the pie that Error has brought home. He never realized how hungry he's gotten since he's used to long hours of not eating. A bad habit that he made sure Paps never found out about. He wouldn't hear the end of it...

"So, YoU'rE sAyInG tHaT yOu FeLt SoMeThInG sQuEeZiNg YoU wHeNeVeR yOu'Re FuLlY aLoNe?" Error asked as he then brought Blue's SOUL down. There seems to be no damage, that's for sure. Blue nods at Error. "Well, it's not always when I'm fully alone. Only when I get into a certain thought process... I don't really know which one yet but I think it has something to do with Dream or You two... Or whenever I'm close to finding out about this certain something." Blue spoke as he then twirled the knife around, Nightmare just leaned back on the sofa that Error had brought... Most definitely stolen. Error and his knack for hoarding.

"What do you mean by that?" Nightmare raised a brow as he stared at the swap that was sitting on his own bean bag now that's colored a dark navy blue, darker than Error's bean bag. Error just flopped on his used one before sitting himself up and then keeping Blue's SOUL in view at all costs. "Well, usually whenever I think of what to do to help Dream in his part of the balance, I get the squeezing pain and-" "Wait wait wait- You're aware of the balances?" Nightmare asked in surprise while Blue blinked. "Balances...? There's more than one Balance?" Blue asked and Nightmare and Error glanced at each other. "WhAt BaLaNcE dO yOu KnOw Of?" Error asked and Blue then points at Nightmare. "His and Dream's. The balance of Positivity and Negativity. I help Dream maintain that by often reminding him that Nightmare has to do what he has to do most times... The only one who really keeps forgetting about it is Ink, hence why we end up getting dragged into uneccessary battles between you guys." Blue spoke and Nightmare was just in shook. All this time, his brother was aware of their own balance and he didn't knew...

That god damn Squid!

All of a sudden, Blue winced again and Error quickly turned to the SOUL, damn his blurry vision! Nightmare glanced as well but saw nothing while Blue slowly breathed out. "DaMmIt, We LeT oUr SiGhT oFf Of It." Error growled before taking his glasses and putting it on so he can spot whatever's causing it much easier. "It's fine... But yeah, it would do that whenever I think of how to help Dream with his balance." Blue points at his SOUL, which was currently safely in Error's strings. "Blue, if you may, can you describe the sensation of the squeezing?" Nightmare asked and Blue blinked. "Well... It uh... It burns... That for sure. It was like a frost burn... It was so cold that it felt like it was burning with every squeeze." Blue mumbled and Error tilts his head. "BlUe, Is It OkAy If I sQuEeZe YoUr SoUl FoR a BiT? i WaNt To MaKe SuRe ThAt It'S nOt My StRiNgS cAuSiNg It." Error spoke and Blue slowly nods. A bit hesitant.

Error then neared the SOUL to himself, making sure it's in Blue's view before v e r y carefully squeezing it. Blue winced a bit and Error quickly lets go. "HoW dId ThAt FeEl?" "Well... It's... A different kind of feeling, that's for sure." Blue spoke. "It felt like regular strings squeezing, that's for sure... Like that one time I wrapped around a rubber string around my arm out of curiosity and ended up snapping the band against my bone. The pain was quick and faded quickly." Blue explained and Error nods before glancing at Nightmare. "Well, we can safely say that it's not Error doing it. Then it must be something else." Nightmare spoke. "Is It OkAy If I cHeCk YoU? aNd By ThAt, I mEaN cHeCk WhIlE aLsO uNlOcKiNg AnY sTaTs YoU hAvE hIdDeN." Error spoke and Blue shifted a bit uncomfortably.

"Okay... But whatever you see, don't judge me for it." Blue pouts and Nightmare and Error nods.

Error then checked Blue's SOUL.

Error stared at the information presented to him while Blue tilts his head in confusion, he only sees his regular stats, not the unlocked infos and the status and effect that Error was seeing. "Didn't expect you to have some LV, Blue." "Well..." Blue slowly shrugged before sheepishly smiling. "I usually adjust the codes to keep it at 1, same with my exp to not alarm the human in my AU and Paps."

"I..." "So... Is there something?" "BlUe, Do YoU kNoW oF a BeInG nAmEd FaTe?" "Uhh..." Blue squints as he tried to remember, Nightmare kept his eyes at the SOUL.a "Nope." "NiGhT, wE'rE nOt ThE oNlY oNeS aFfEcTeD bY 'iT'." "You're kidding..." Nightmare's lone eyesocket widened as he then quickly stared at Blue, who was just even more confused. "Uh...?"
