•If I told you that I loved you, tell me what you would say? If I told you that I hated you, would you go away? Now I need your help with everything that I do, I don't wanna lie, I've been relying on you.•

"Are you okay?" Dream asked, placing a hand on their shoulder, ever since they left Pluto's house they'd been upset. They didn't turn to look at Dream, only slouching over even more on their couch. Something white moved, maybe appeared, in the corner of their eye, but still they did not move.

They ruined their one chance to go back to some ounce of normality. Blowing it on running away from a situation they didn't know how to fix.

"I ruined everything back there," Vi mumbled, stumbling over their words with a certain type of fervency, hands reaching into their hair, they almost wanted to tear it out, the natural blonde just something they grew to hate the longer and longer they lived, much preferring to dye it.

"It's not your fault," Dream tried to mumbled reassuring nothings to them, their state only growing more snappy and agitated. Blue was picking up a few things around their house, setting it into places that looked more appropriate.

"You don't understand!" Vi shouted, louder than they intended, Dream froze on the spot, backing away sheepishly, "I'm sorry but you don't even know half of what happened then or back then."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Dream proposed, but they shrugged him away. He was kind, too kind. They felt undeserving, that much was evident. Dream only wanted to help, they seemed like they'd been through hell and back and it made him want to befriend them all the more, show them that there was a life worth living for, Vi was so much alike to others he had helped in the past yet so so different.

"The Ebott incident, fuck.." Vi spoke breathlessly, head lifting from their hands for a moment, eyes red, close to crying, "It ruined everything, I ruined everything."

"What happened?" Dream asked, reaching for their hands to hold. The gesture, he found in most cases, was very comforting, and it seemed to have a bit of the same effect on them. A moment later Vi's hands pulled away and they gestured shyly, asking for a hug. He obliged with a slight smile. He knew the feeling in his gut was right.

"My friend Mike, he moved away after the Ebott incident, that's when me 'n Pluto stopped talking as much. I ran away from it, 'cause it hurt and I just did that again," Vi hugged him tightly before letting him go, looking away.

"I'm sure Pluto doesn't blame you for running away, Vi," Dream tried to give them a smile, but their attention was enraptured by Ink, chattering with someone through almost a white screen of some sorts.

"What is that?" Vi passed by Dream to stand next to Ink and stare into the white void past the floating screen, a sort of magic they guessed. Sudden movement took place in said void and a black-boned skeleton appeared. Vi's first thought was that the skeleton looked pretty, covered in color.

Dark navy rivulets tracing down from his eyes which were captured in a blood red highlighted with mismatched yellow, blue, and white.

Error was pretty.

Pretty at first sight much like Lust. At least in Vi's opinion. Vi had a brief thought of how they grew to find the other three pretty too, once they got over the indignation they felt when they offered unneeded help.

"It's my friend Error, say hi Error!" Ink chirruped, waving a hand in front of the screen before the skeleton backed away just slightly, Ink muttered a quiet apology and pulled his hand away, "Error this is Vi, our new friend."
