PROLOGUE PART 2

(some headcanons, and uh this chapter was kinda long so there should be some typos i didn't see. but ya thats it)

BASIL POV

I woke up standing in the empty abyss. My ears were ringing uncontrollably and I had an excruciating headache. I was sweaty despite it being pretty cold in here and it was hard to breathe... Everything was dull.  I looked down, I saw my gardening shears plunged into my stomach. I gasped surprised, and fell to my knees. Did I really do it...? Did I kill myself in my sleep?... I didn't want to die before SUNNY moved away, he needs to have a fresh new start... But it was so cruel, he finally came to me and he has to move away! Its not fair... I shook my head, no... SUNNY suffered too... Maybe he just didn't want to see me, especially after what I did... Anyway, how come I'm here? I could be here because I did it... But then how would I even be here in the same time? I would be dead. Or maybe I'm in the afterlife? ...I'm definitely going to HELL. I didn't want to think about it. Everything is going to be okay! This must be some weird dream. There's no way I'm... Dead.

I decided to look around to see if there was anything here. There was no color in here, but nothing was necessarily black or white. Just empty. There was no visible ground either, it sort of looked like I was floating... BASIL, don't get distracted, let's just try to get out of here. I don't want to stay here.

As I was walking around looking for a exit, I could hear familiar voices beyond the abyss. It was faint and hard to hear, but I could definitely hear something. Maybe that could be my way out here! I decided to follow the voices across the vast and awfully lonely void, it sounded like people were crying. I suddenly stopped to run towards the crying. I wanted to stop, what if it was just another horrifying nightmare about the incident...? Me and SUNNY were crying the whole time we were covering it up, it was probably that.

But what choice did I have? None. It's either stay here in the void, or follow the voices across the barrier. I bit my lip nervously and ran to the noise.

After running for some time, I had to stop and take a breather. The voices were getting louder. I could almost make out what they were saying. I smiled and walked to the voices. I saw a BLACK DOOR in the middle of the abyss. It looked sketchy but its okay! Everything will work out in the end. I go turn the door knob and walk into the darkness of the mysterious room. I'm finally here, now what could be happening?

While I was walking in the darkness, I got a sudden sensation. It was cold, really cold... It was as if a strong wind were blowing against me and begging me not to go past. The winds howled and moaned as if they were in pain as I continued to traverse through the storm. I could feel bits of flying ice cutting my legs. I'm not going down so easily!... I feel nauseous and tired, I want to throw up a little but I can handle it. Everything will be fine! I just need to pass this barrier and I'll be awake! Just have hope BASIL!

Unexpectedly, as I was pushing against the wind, I fell to the floor. I was stunned after what happened in the blizzard. I was cut from head to toe, but I was glad to be out of that situation. I looked around processed where I was and smiled. I'm back home. All of my plants, the living room, and the kitchen... Everything was there. I was tired, so I headed to my room so I could finally sleep but I couldn't.

I saw SUNNY at the archway, I backed away startled. I was so tired, I didn't realize SUNNY was right there. Why is he here...? My head hurts and I can't quite remember, but I think we were having a... A sleep over right before SUNNY moved away, right? I sigh and try to talk to SUNNY.
