Error's POV a month later

Ah yes, destruction. Something that the multiverse seems to need constantly with how often Ink and creators work to overload it. Luckily I am always ready for the job. And I've had the time lately...Anyways, back to work. I've destroyed three dozen AUs already. I move quickly since the balance is close to being overwhelmed so my work has quickly gotten it back under the limit. I go on to destroy another dozen or two, then pause to check my phone. 

No new messages. 

No surprise lately.

I continue on my path but pause again getting a call from Buffer.

"Hey...Do you need help with that? I see you're on a spree."He says

"NaH, I g0t iT haNdLeD. ArE yOu uP t0 aNyThInG?"I ask

"Going to hang out with Cipher and Lust. Odd trio if you ask me but it is bound to be fun! I'll call you if it ends up being problematic."He says

"AlRIgHt. TaLk tO yOu laTeR."I say, hanging up.

I continue destroying AUs but pause when I hear a familiar voice weakly choking. I walk towards the voice, finding hidden behind a rock a very beaten-up Probe choking on his own blood and tears. A large gash runs across his face, the blood running down like a curtain shutting on his face. Absolutely disgusting. I frown, lifting him in my strings into a hammock. I wipe some of his wounds and bandage him, healing him through his code. I check his soul, relieved to find it unharmed despite his low stats.

He slowly calms down and recovers gradually, then glances at me.

"Ⓞⓞⓞⓗ...Ⓗⓔⓨ Ⓔⓡⓡⓞⓡ. Ⓦⓗⓐⓣ'ⓢ ⓤⓟ?"He asks weakly

"WhAt hApPeNeD tO yOu?"I ask

"Ⓞ-ⓞⓞⓗ ⓡⓘⓖⓗⓣ. Ⓦⓔⓛⓛ ⓜⓨ...ⓐⓢⓢⓞⓒⓘⓐⓣⓔ ⓕⓞⓤⓝⓓ ⓞⓤⓣ ⓣⓗⓐⓣ Ⓘ ⓢⓟⓞⓚⓔ ⓦⓘⓣⓗ Ⓔⓡⓡⓞⓡ ⓐⓝⓓ ⓖⓞⓣ ⓤⓟⓢⓔⓣ, ⓓⓤⓜⓟⓘⓝⓖ ⓜⓔ ⓗⓔⓡⓔ. Ⓐⓟⓟⓐⓡⓔⓝⓣⓛⓨ, ⓣⓗⓔ ⓟⓛⓐⓝ ⓦⓐⓢ ⓕⓞⓡ ⓜⓔ ⓣⓞ ⓕⓡⓔⓔⓩⓔ ⓣⓘⓜⓔ ⓕⓞⓡ ⓗⓘⓜ ⓣⓞ ⓢⓟⓔⓐⓚ ⓦⓘⓣⓗ ⓗⓘⓢ ⓔⓝⓔⓜⓨ.

He looks exhausted and sad, like he got betrayed by this associate. I understand how deeply this must hurt him since that's the closest he may have to a friend that basically uses him for his power. At least, that's what it sounds like for getting mad at him for using HIS power that they schemed to only use for their own benefit...

"Ⓜⓐⓨⓑⓔ Ⓘ ⓐⓜ ⓑⓔⓘⓝⓖ ⓢⓘⓛⓛⓨ...Ⓦⓗⓐⓣ ⓦⓞⓤⓛⓓ ⓨⓞⓤ ⓓⓞ ⓘⓝ ⓜⓨ ⓟⓞⓢⓘⓣⓘⓞⓝ?"He says

He looks at me as if I am joking as I heal his last wound.

"TrUsT mE, w3 coUlD mEeT aGaIn oN beTtEr tErMs aNd I cAn pRoV3 y0u wRoNg."I say

"Ⓡⓔⓐⓛⓛⓨ? Ⓦⓔ'ⓡⓔ ⓖⓞⓘⓝⓖ ⓣⓞ ⓜⓔⓔⓣ ⓐⓖⓐⓘⓝ ⓞⓝ ⓖⓞⓞⓓ ⓣⓔⓡⓜⓢ?"He asks

Then something shines on Probe's wrist and he sits up.
