—————————————————————

A leaf. She sees everything, hears everything, knows everything. Doesn't she? She has seen it all, and nobody has heard her.

All except Firey, who is now holding her by her hands as she struggles to break free.

Leafy saw Cake offer himself as a celebratory desert to Loser. Leafy saw Loser hesitate before giving into his hunger and eating Cake. Everybody knew that. Everybody knew that 2/4 leaders were dead. The two leaders who thought of everyone's well-being are gone, the rules may be stricter now. And everyone knew that.

But Leafy could never tell them what happened to Loser, her ability to speak has diminished with her line between reality and fantasy. It has diminished with the sense in her mind. Her mind, it wasn't functioning properly. She was labeled by Golfball as unstable and dangerous.

Unstable and dangerous? Please, if anyone was that it would be Golfball and her unnatural cravings to tear Tennis Ball apart. And yes, Leafy heard that too.

What happened to Loser? What happened to Loser? Everyone is asking that and Leafy is incapable of saying what she saw, her speech just cannot work. But what she saw? She saw Loser have a heart attack.

And now she sees everyone blaming Clock.

'Clock poisoned him! Clock murdered him! Clock betrayed us!' Lies, lies, lies.

Leafy suddenly snaps out of her thoughts when Firey slaps her face and yells, "YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY, LEAFY?! THAT'S SICK!" And it's only then that Leafy realized she was smiling like a maniac.

"--. ..- -.-- ... --..-- / .-.. --- ... . .-. / -.. .. . -.. / - --- / .- / .... . .- .-. - / .- - - .- -.-. -.-" Roboty shouts. But nobody understood morse code except Leafy and Balloony, and Balloony was off at who knows where with Rocky and Woody. Golfball might understand it, but she isn't listening much to anything others say now.

Leafy clenches her teeth, Firey's slap made her 'face' sting. Firey meant no harm, and only wanted to snap Leafy out of it. Leafy knew that, but somewhere deep inside her... an old form of her emerged.

She brings her fist back and swings it forward forcefully. It hits Firey, causing his flames to rise and her hands to sting.

Seeing herself like she was in BFDIA isn't what Leafy wanted, but the damage to her brain is severe and of course she reverted to how she was then... maybe perhaps worse.

Firey stares at her in shock and finally mumbles, "You're bleeding."

Leafy gently touches her face where Four had blasted a hole a few days ago. No, it can't be days ago. Weeks? Months? Years? Nobody knew how long had passed since the competition started... and then abruptly ended when Four ran away to find X. Leafy wonders whatever happened to them.

Leafy looks at her hand again, now that it had been resting on the gaping hole that cutter out an eye for a minute. Her hand is drenched in blood. Perhaps finally, finally Leafy is dying. This excites Leafy, she wants the pain to end. Her happy persona dissolved with her sense of being able to differentiate between reality and fiction and now... she seems insane.

The laughter that escapes the leaf's lips are first soft, but they soon become louder and more inconsistent. This makes Firey take a step back, his eyes lighting with fear and thus causing his flames to rise even higher. A loss of a friend was one thing, seeing or hearing them die is oh so painful. But seeing one's mind and rationality seemingly evaporate in-front of your eyes... is sometimes more painful.
