The pain was agonizing. The screams that fell from your mouth tore out your vocal cords to a point of no return, you knew you were going to feel this later in the morning. You sobbed desperatly as you clung onto your chest. You were sure that if you had anymore strength, the shirt you were gripping would have torn. Your head laid on the white and plain ground, the hum of the Anti void that was usually clam and quiet was filled with nothing other than your screams.

Error stood with his back turned away from you, gripping his uneven shorts tightly as he tried to drown out the sound of your cries. He knew this process would hurt, he just didn't know that it would hurt HIM. The sound of your cries was unbearable for him as he brought his hands up to cover where his ears would be, but it was all in vain. All he could hear was you. Usually he would love to just hear your voice on repeat, day in and day out, but right here and right now, he wants nothing more than for you to stop. To shut up. To stop your damn crying.

Soon, the void got quiet, a little to quiet for Error's liking. He took his hands off his head and turned around slowly, only to see you in a child's pose, collapsed in on yourself. Your breathing was quiet, and barley noticable. He would have thought you had died if he hadn't seen the small rise and fall of your chest. Error simply sighed in relief as he scooted a little bit closer to you, bending down on one knee and looking at you. Your face was covered by your hair and arm that laid beside your head, reaching up to grab a chunk of your hair.

Error sat down with a huff and stared at you for the passing minutes that you slept. He knew how draining getting a soul back can be, it was a tiring process for human and monsters alike. Error was just happy that you were able to forgo the process and not die, that was a common 'side effect' of getting a soul back. Now he just hopes that none of the other side effects, like memory loss, fatigue, or prolonged sickness would pop up in you and slowly kill you in front of his eyes.

After a few more minutes of waiting, you slightly sturred in your sleep, turning over onto your back and reaching up to rub your eyes awake. When they opened, you felt a harsh pain in not only your chest, but also in your throat from screaming earlier. You noticed the ceiling painted with those amazing yet terrifying blue strings, souls snatched up in them along side hanging dolls. A few of them didn't have a string hanging across their body, but more around their neck, almost like they were hanging in a more brutal sense. Though, you couldn't make out who the sanses that were hanging like that were, you knew that Error wasn't very found of them.

Speaking of, the moment you sat up, you heard a very long and distorted sigh come from besides you. You turned your head over and saw Error sitting there, a look of relief dusting over his face as he gave you a soft smile. You visibly flinched at the smile, it was shocking to see Error smile non-creepily at you or anyone. Though, you decided to return the smile, giving him a soft one in turn.

After a while of sitting there in silence, Error stood up and wrapped a loose string around your wrist and tugged you up, leaving you slightly confused. "C'mon, I have somewhere I need to take you. You'll be safe there." The words fell out of Error's mouth, but none of it made sense. Where you no longer safe here? And if you weren't, why aren't you? Error looked back at you and sensed your confusion but only shook his head before turning it around to the open portal, this was better for you anyways.

The moment you stepped in, your feet were met with not cold snow, but cold marbled floors. Your eyes took a moment to adjust to the darker lighting, but once they did, you nearly gasped in awe. The hallway was long and empty, but the interior design of it was made it truely beautiful. Sure, the color pallete was bland and consisted of nothing other than black, greys and dark vivid blues, but that didn't stop you from not tearing your eyes from the sight.
