Jim, Toby and Claire inspected the picture of Angor Rot's ring as they were trying to come up with a plan to remove it from Strickler's finger. Toby could've sworn he saw Y/n with the same ring on when he first met her, but it got brushed off by Jim and Claire.

"Guys I'm telling you, she has the exact same ring!" Toby says, pointing at the photo. Claire sighed, rolling her eyes. "It was probably some other ring Toby." She says, toying with her shadow staff as Jim nods. "Yeah, she's touched a gaggle tack before so she isn't some changeling spy." Jim says as Toby sighs, dropping the conversation as they indulge once more for a plan to get Angor Rot's ring.

Y/n sees Jim and Toby at their locker, she waves to them to which Jim waves and Toby crosses his arms. Y/n wonders what could be up, she did say she would go to the Spring Fling with him. She walks over as Claire rushes over to them, "We've got a problem!" She says as they all meet up in a huddle. "I was thinking last night, say you go through with the trade and Angor's free. How can we trust him?" Claire explains as they nod in thought. "But if he doesn't give the ring to Angor, he's dead meat." Toby says as Jim walks away when his phone rings.

Y/n watches him walk away and turns around to be faced by Toby. He grabs her hands quickly, looking down, inspecting her fingers seemingly looking for something. "Um, excuse you?" Y/n asks, removing her hands from his. "Save it for the dance Tobes." Y/n says as Claire sighs. "He thinks you have the ring that contains Angor Rot's soul." Claire tells her, placing a hand on her hip. "I'm telling you, she has it!" Toby says, pointing at Y/n. "What about what Jim told you, Angor told him that Strickler had it, and I'm not old now am I?" Y/n quips, crossing her arms as Claire snorts, they turn around to follow Jim.

"Aha! What if you take the ring and wear it?" Claire asks as Y/n thinks of what Jim would do with Angor. And she wondered if she should tell her Uncle that Angor and Jim are conspiring together against him. "You're talking of betraying a troll assassin." Jim says bluntly as Toby puts a hand on his shoulder. "More like controlling one." He says cooly.

"Angor told me he wanted to give the ring to someone else." Jim tells them as Y/n's eyebrow raised at this, taking in the information. And who might that be? "Let me find out Angor Rot wants to propose to some troll." Y/n snickers as they groan, laughing lightly. Y/n watches as everyone surrounds Jim, clearly stressing him out, she chooses to go to class early that day, not wanting to be there when he blows up.

The gang walks side by side off of the school premises as they listen to Jim about all the things he had to fix today. Yeesh, and I thought high school for me was stressful. Y/n thinks, grinning to herself. "When you get the ring you're not gonna give it back to Angor, right?" Claire asks then adding, "You can control him."

"Angor is probably going to go to Strickler and try to get it back from Jim if he keeps the ring. It's a loop." Y/n explains as she hears Toby mutters something along the lines of "more like getting the ring from you."

Just then, Jim gets a call once more and he picks up, they watch his facial expressions as he listens to the other person. "Blinky is stuck in Arcadia and he's turning into a troll!" Jim exclaims to the group as they gasp, all except Y/n who snorts. "My shadow staff is at home, I'll go get it!" Claire says as she runs to cross the street. "Claire, no!" Toby yells, seeing a truck headed towards her. She stops, looking at the truck and screams, bracing for impact.

Y/n notices that Claire isn't about to get hit by the truck, hearing screaming from beside her, belonging to Claire. Toby yells too, stumbling with the Kairosect in his hand. "He used it!" Y/n pieces it together, telling her friends. She hopes Jim is okay.

"Wait- wait. You're telling me his soul is gone?" Y/n asks panicked, putting her hands on the table, glancing down at the Killstone on the table. "Yes, with the ring destroyed, there's not controlling him now." Blinky tells the group as Y/n lets out a strained sigh, stuffing her hands in her pockets. Just then Draal comes in with Jim's moped, telling them there was no sign of Angor in the sewers.

"There's no saying when or how he'll strike." Blinky says wearily as they all nod their heads.

Y/n contemplated going home, after all Angor knew where she lived. Where her uncle lived. What would he do to her? Would he even recognize her? All these questions would be left unanswered for Y/n as she made her way to the benches in front of the museum, sitting down and pulling out her phone. 'Where are you Unc?' She shoots a text message to Strickler, waiting for a response before she hears rustling.

She snaps her head up, putting her phone away slowly. "Who's there?" She asks, knowing it was dumb to say that aloud because people usually don't respond. She gets up, turning behind her, seeing nothing.

She lets out a breath of relief before turning back around to see Angor Rot hanging from the statue. She freezes as he hops down, walking towards her slowly, almost stalking in a sense.

He stands in front of her as she looks up at him, taking note of his eyes. "Oh Angor.." Y/n says, frowning as he huffs out through his nose. "I'm sure you know by now that the Trollhunter broke my ring." Angor says as Y/n raises her brow slightly. "Wasn't it you who-" Y/n starts to speak before seeing Angor's facial expression. "My bad." She stops, putting her hands up in defense.

"Over the past months, I've been feeling things." Angor gruffly says, as Y/n nods slowly, confused on where this was going. "I didn't know I could feel emotions as I've felt them without having a soul."

He grabs her hand, despite her jolting, still weary of him. He places her palm on his chest. "The time I've spent with you have been the most I've ever lived, ever felt something." He grins, to anyone else that would've come off as scary but to Y/n, no, it came off as genuine.

"You say I'm your 'friend', your 'Angie', and I've felt this warmth ever since you resurrected me." Angor continues as Y/n gives him a small smile. "I wanted the Trollhunter to give me the Inferna Copula so I could give it to you." He says as Y/n's face turns to that of shock. "O-oh." Y/n stutters, biting her lip out of embarrassment.

"How do you show affection in your fleshling culture?" He asks as Y/n just chuckles at him lightly. She moves her hand from his chest, grabbing his horns, pulling him down gently so he can kneel, placing their foreheads together as Y/n closes her eyes. "This.. this is nice." Angor says, staring at Y/n as she opens her eyes. "Yeah, it is." She grins, removing her forehead from his, she kisses his cheek before hugging him, embracing him for what she felt would probably be the last time.

"Forgive me for what I'm going to do." She hears him say as they break the hug, she frowns. "What do you mean-" Y/n gets knocked out by some magic dust Angor conjured, almost falling to the floor before being caught and put on the bench she was previously on.

"No.. don't.." Y/n tries to fight it, try to stay awake but she can't do it for long. She watches Angor as she blinks tiredly, pull out a knife before falling asleep, succumbing to the dust.
