OUTRUN THE TRUTH {OMORI AU} (OLD)

You aren't real, are you?

TW: Hallucinations, Foul language, slight self-destructive behavior.

'Please just go away, SUNNY...', BASIL continues to glance towards the ground, his voice meek and tired.

'Oh, BASIL. you're such a joker, no matter how much you say that, I'll always be stuck to you like glue.', SUNNY lowers his tone, speaking somewhat monotone.

HERO sighs, knowing that this confrontation wasn't going to end if SUNNY didn't leave.

'SUNNY, was it? I...don't know what your relationship is with BASIL but could you please leave? It's clear that you make him uncomfortable.', HERO tries to speak in a firm voice.

'Eh?' SUNNY tilts his head in confusion, before laughing.

'I think I might have heard something wrong, could you repeat what you said just now?', SUNNY smiles.

'I said to leave.', HERO glances over to BASIL, showing some concern for him.

'Ehh? When did you get so buddy-buddy with BASIL, H E R O?', SUNNY continues to smile but it's not as innocent as it was before.

HERO doesn't respond to SUNNY's question and tends to BASIL.

'Ah, so you're going to ignore me now? I see how it is.', SUNNY chuckles slightly. 'I didn't expect you of all people to befriend BASIL, who you've bullied for 2 entire years. Thing is HERO, isn't it kind of late for that? To be all friendly with someone like that? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?', SUNNY completely stops smiling.

'SUNNY, just stop it--'

'Oh no, but I'M the bad one here right? Hahah...I'm the bad one when all I've done was try to help you, BASIL. HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD RATHER BEFRIEND HERO THAN ME! That's not fair...', SUNNY stomps his foot onto the ground, his hands clenched into a fist. 

'Look, it...seems that you care for BASIL but the way you're doing it isn't righ--'

SUNNY interrupts HERO.

'DO.NOT. I don't want ANY of your bullcrap right now, ESPECIALLY after you just took away MY BEST FRIEND from me.' SUNNY glares at HERO, before covering his mouth and looking away.

HERO frowns.

SUNNY pulls on his hair and turns around, muttering and seemingly scratching himself.

'Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit, why does this always happen hhhh...', SUNNY hits himself on the arm.

'SUNNY...What are you doing..?', BASIL looks up at SUNNY in disbelief, SUNNY wasn't that far from him so he could hear all the scratching and mumbling, which made him look up.

'Mmm oh nothing, you know how I am, heh...', SUNNY sways slightly from side to side, he looks fidgety.

BASIL holds his stomach, staring at SUNNY. Why was SUNNY acting so...unhinged? He looked like he came out of a mental institution. Just what the hell was going on with him?
