(Lyric chapter)

Kore sighed, leaning on his mother as her tail curled around him, her head resting on her legs and a deep rumbling purr vibrating her. Rain fell from the sides of the unshletered areas, sometimes dripping on Kore with a satisfying cold feeling. This was relaxing, he was happy for the alone time. He gazed at the view before he took his guitar, the one he had for years upon years, and started to fiddle wit hit. It was a bit out of tune.

Kore plucked strings on his guitar. he's only retuning it, nothing more, but he finds himself softly singing to himself while playing a song in the midst of retuning. It was familiar, his fingers played it purely from muscle memory the minute the strings were tuned correctly. The song he sang for his brothers and sisters. Sometimes with Scylla, others not.

after that starting part of this song, his song, he felt the words bubble on his tongue. It was familiar. It was safe. "I guess I have to face" a warm smiled slowly spread on his face "That in this awful place," Deimos's ear twitched and she opened a eye

"I shouldn't show a trace of doubt" Kore took a soft deepbreath at the pause, Deimos twitching and lifting her head up, rubbing against Kore's cheek, as she knew what was coming next. "But pulled against the grain" his soft smile started to fade

"I feel a little pain" tears ran down his cheeks and he frowned. he kept his voice together as to not fuck up the song, but he felt the bitterness of leaving his siblings with every word. sometimes he wondered if it would've been better if he Just stayed? "That I would rather do without" Kore's tears were wiped by his mom's tail as he felt them get worse.

"I'd rather be" Kore looked down "Free" He missed them dearly, he was scared of their death (if they were dead) and scared he would hate him "Free" Maybe he could've made his own free with them. He misses them so, SO much. They were his everything. "Free."

"I'd rather be" He doesn't really remember much about the rest of the singing, he was too busy being wrapped up in things he can't change anymore. he missed them. they had truly been his happiness when he had no one, When Thatcher left and Eveilin was in Fashion school, and He was alone.

Scylla was the only one who had stuck by his side the entire time, and now he doesnt even know if she's alive. He was hiding pretty much all of this fear and pain for a while though, he knew it was silly and he didnt want to worry Chaos and Outcode out. Thankfully, he remembered he was almsot done with his song and focused on that.

"Free." Tear fell again. He probably looked rather weak right now, especially in comparison to the giant tiger next to him. He wished for his siblings to hear him one last time with the last lyric "From here." Kore wiped his tears, softly crying and and watching the tears fall. He traced the carvings made by his siblings on the guitar, still tearing up and feeling it well up and fall.

"Damn, Kore. That was just sad." Outcode mumbled ontop of Kore's mom's bacl. "I agree, are you okay?" Chaos was on the other side. "wh- what the hell are you two doing here??" Kore instantly wiped away any tears and forced them back up. He heard Outcode pat Chaos's back before walking off.Chaos slid beside him.

after a long pause Chaos finally spoke. "Kore? Are you alright?" there was another pause,, not as long though. "I'm okay. I miss my siblings." Chaos nodded and hugged him up close. Kore cuddled back. "i'm sorry" Kore just let a soft hum out as he took off guitar. Chaos nodded, and the two stayed in silence for the remainder of his time out.
