The sun was gone. I had spent the final remaining rays of light searching and calling for Ranboo, but to no avail. The poor boy! I knew only slightly about his Enderwalk state, but just the part that would be peaceful and walk around the SMP; sometimes lifting and placing dirt and flowers and nodding as a greeting if you tried calling out to say 'hi' to him. Even sometimes would give you a flower or pieces of grass as an offering. Yet, this Ranboo was one I hadn't encountered before. It scared me that this was happening to him. I needed to know he was safe.

Call it my paternal instincts, but I knew there and then that I would not be able to breathe until I could guarantee Ranboo was well, and either at home with me, or back with Tubbo and Michael in... Was it Snowchester? Yeah, yeah I'm pretty sure it was that one. At least it wasn't too far from mine and Skeppy's place. Oh! Skeppy! He'd be able to help.

My communicator felt small in my hands as I still hadn't calmed down enough to shrink to a manageable height. I fumbled around until I pressed to call my husband and immediately heard his joyous, laid back tone over the phone. "Baaad! Heyyy! You coming back soon?"

"Geppy! No, I can't! I- Oh my gosh. So much has happened I don't know where to start-"

"You can start by breathing, Bad. Hey, hey, it's ok, don't worry, this can be fixed. Whatever happened can be fixed."

"But it-"

"Bad! Copy my breathing, right now. In deep for four-" We both did it together. "And out for five, ok? Good. And again."

We did for another four or so times, the whole while I was desperate to spit out the events, but knew being calm was important. Also, as a bonus, I was starting to shrink more.

"Now please calmly tell me what's got you all worked up."

"Ok, ok, ok. So." I took one last deep breath for good measure. "I went with Ranboo to collect supplies for his statue which turned into getting more supplies for a build he's paying Foolish for, and... It went so wrong. I asked about his son Michael which turned into me telling him about when we found Sapnap. I- I didn't mean to go into as much detail as I did! I got so carried away and then before I knew it I remembered Ranboo was still there and that- HE'S JUST A KID, GEPPY. That was too much! Holy muffin, I'm so stupid."

"You're not, Bad, it's ok." I heard him smile reassuringly over comms. "You didn't know he'd react. How is he? Did he have a panic attack or something? You need help calming him down?"

"No, no. That's the problem, I- I- I lost the kid! He started freaking out to the point I couldn't do anything for him which turned into him doing some insane version of his Enderwalk. All purple-y and started speaking Enderman. He just..."

I couldn't talk.

"...'He just' what, Bad? What did he do?" Skeppy's voice hovered somewhere over the communicator.

"He..." I said in a small voice. "He vanished."

---------------------

Skeppy urged me to share my coordinates then sent a message to everyone from the SMP about the missing boy. He also warned them he may be hostile, so if found, just take extreme caution and try calming him down.

I lost track of time, but before I knew it, my husband met me at the spot I still was. He found me trembling in my demon form again.

"Bad...? Bad! Is that you? Hey, it's ok. I'm here now," I heard his familiar voice approach me, accompanied by a sharp light of his lantern. Faint flecks of blue light refracted from his partially diamond skin like a disco ball.
