They the Wubbox : Rewritten

[Chapter 14.5]

Wubbox weeped a sorrow filled tune. He couldn't comfort himself as he became ashamed of himself. Everything he did was bad. How he treated himself was bad. How he treated others was bad.

He could only cry besides laying in silence, the lack of sounds being more overwhelming than a loud get-together of every monster that ever existed. Louder than Screemu. Louder than Air. Louder than glob itself.

He constantly had to talk to himself to keep himself from crying or going insane. Every hour spent in the Endless Abbys of Death felt like days. He kept making up questions to ask, even starting to go mad regardless of what he did.

After a long time of helplessly moving around the black void, he finally laid on the invisible ground and tried to sleep to escape. He couldn't though, then opened his eyes at the sound of light footsteps. Looking around, he saw a familiar shape.

Blipsqueak.

Had he gone so mad his mind came up with the idea of an unreal monster of his imagination to comfort himself? He knew they did not exist, and would not for some time. Their soul was unable to exist before being made. Right? It just had to be his imagination playing tricks. But if so, where was Wublin? He was imaginary, but he wasn't here.

"Oh, dad!" Blipsqueak seemed to liven up at the sight of him.

"Your.."

"Yeah, it's me! You remember, right?"

"But your not real. Y-Your gonna try and break me down. Your just my imagination. But then why haven't i seen anyone else?"

"What do you mean? You left the island for so long, and when i went to sleep, i found myself here. Where were you, Thwok, and Bona? You never came home."

"...What in the hell are you talking about..?"

Blipsqueak sighed. "You must have gotten amnesia when you got here."

"No! Because i remember everything! Y-You don't exist!"

"Hold on... Did the celestials die?"

"Y-Yes they just did! I broke scargo, and the celestials turned to stone before my eyes, and i was forced into my box form with them."

Blipsqueak looked around and thought for a moment. "Well, the only way that's possible is if i somehow dimension traveled, and our souls collided in the same plane of the Abbys.  But, perhaps it's best if i don't explain everything. If it's dimension traveling and time traveling, explaining it would be breaking the whole plane of existence, and would ultimately lead to this universe dying and starting anew. But that in itself is a paradox, because that means every universe turned into this, and-"

"Stop." Wubbox put a hand to Blipsqueak's speaker. "I-I just.." He breathed, then bringing them down into a hug. He finally had something in his mind to speak with, see, hear, and feel. After so long.

"Ok." Blipsqueak said calmly, reciprocating the hug.
