Mugman's pov

It's been almost week ever since Cuphread found out the truth about our parents and where his phobia came from......but.....after all we've been through, he still regreted about what he did almost a month ago after I got captured.....he can't stop blamming himself.....even though I forgave him.....he still has some guilt left inside of him.....

Mugman: Cups? Are you okay? You seem down......

Cuphead: Yeah.....I'm just......I'm sorry for letting the Devil take you away.....

Mugman: Cups, it's okay.....I already forgave you.....you don't have to be sorry......

Cuphead: No, it's not okay......I blame myself for what happened.....

Mugman: Cups, I know you still feel guilty about what you have done.....but please don't blame yourself.....it wasn't your fault.....

Cuphead:.......

Mugman: I'll leave you alone......

Mugman walked out of the bedroom door and closed the door almost all the way. He leaned against the wall and overhears Cuphead talking through the door.

(behind the door)

Cuphead: It's all my fault. All these years, I told myself to not worry but when my own brother got caputered.....everything changed.....Elder Kettle's dead and now my phobia came back to haunt me.....I know Mugs forgave me, but.....I won't br able to forgive myself......

(in front of the door)

Mugman covered his mouth in shock.

Mugman: He doesn't forgive himself......that's why he's down all day.....he got over Elder Kettle's death.....but after what happened to me.....he's still feeling guilt.....it's weighing on his shoulders and he can barely forgive himself.....I gotta fix this.....no brother of mine should not not be able to forgive himself!!

Mugman opened the door and Cuphead turns around to find his brother at the door.

Cuphead: Mugs! Um.....how much did you hear?

Mugman: I heard every single word about what you said.....

Mugman walks towards his brother and puts his hand on his shoulder.

This is about to get real. Get your tissues ready.

Mugman: Cups.....you know you don't have to go through this alone.....I'm here now and I'll help you in any way I can.....I know you're upset, deep down.....and the guilt is bearing on your shoulders......you just need to let it all out.....I'm here for you, you know that?

Cuphead eyes started to tear up a little. Mugman hugs him tightly but gently.

Mugman: Let it all out, it's okay. There's no shame in crying. Everyone goes through these emotions all the time. It's okay to let your emotions out when you need to. I'm here for you, big brother.

And just like that, Cuphead letted all of his emotions out while Mugman calmly hugs him.

Later, Cuphead stopped crying and looks at his little brother, who smiles at him.

Mugman: Feeling better now?

Cuphead: Yeah. (sniffle) Thanks, Mugs.

Cuphead wipes his eyes.

Cuphead: I needed that.

Mugman: No problem.

Then, Mugman changes the subject to happy one.

Mugman: You want to go and see a movie with me and Chalice? There's a discount today at the movies. We should go.

Cuphead: Heck yeah! Let's go grab our coats. It's pretty chilly tonight.

Mugman: Well then, let's go.

Both the bros ran downstairs.

Chalice: Hey, fellas! Ready to go?

Mugman: Yep.

Chalice: Hey, Cups! Looks like you're feeling better.

Cuphead: Thank Mugman for that. I really needed to let out all of my emotions.....

Chalice: Anyways, ready to go?

Cuphead & Mugman: Heck yeah!

Chalice: Well then, let's go!

The trio walked through the forest to town.
