Plot: Lancer commits suicide because of his father's abuse, leaving his loved ones to grieve over their loss

Requested By: Nixxywood

⚠️TW: Depression, abuse, and suicide⚠️

~☆~

Nobody had expected this, none of them could've predicted it. Lancer was never the type of kid that seemed depressed or in pain, or so they thought. The facade Lancer had put up, the mask he made to hide his pain was too good. Sure Susie knew about some of the things Lancer went through, which is why she did her best to hang out with him as much as she could. Was it not enough?

The king was behind bars, they thought that Lancer would be free from everything once and for all, but even that wouldn't stop the kind from scaring Lancer into blind compliance to keep coming back to him every day.

While the king had never really hit Lancer, only grabbing him harshly by his arms and clothes so he would really pay attention. The verbal and emotional abuse he gave to Lancer had ruined his view of himself, his view of others. He would often think if everyone would be like his father, if they were just using their own facade to break his heart and mind in the end. He couldn't take the constant fear of being grabbed or yelled at, he didn't want to hear the insults about how he was. He didn't want to change, he didn't want to conform, but his father made sure that Lancer was the perfect son that he wanted. Not the kid Lancer wanted to be. Even while behind bars, the king wanted some way to relieve his anger and stress, and who better to take it out on than Lancer? No matter what Lancer did to continue on with his facade, it became too much for him to handle, and he felt it was better to take responsibility for what he believed was all his fault instead of relying on the help of his close family and friends.

Now, here they were, shocked and confused as they looked at Lancer's body on the floor of his bedroom. While he wasn't dead yet, he was close.

Susie was the first one to rush over to the young boys side, lifting the upper half of his body up and shaking him.

"Lancer! Hey, wake up!" She yelled, and when he didn't give the slightest hint of a response, she looked over to Ralsei. Ralsei rushed over, looking over Lancer before frowning and pausing. "Well?! Aren't you gonna fucking heal him?!"

Ralsei looked up sadly at her, "I'm sorry, Susie, he's too far gone. There is nothing I can do. His HP is rapidly decreasing, even if I did heal him it would still decrease."

Susie felt tears in her eyes as she looked back down at Lancer, "C'mon man, don't give up on me! Lancer, please! Don't..." The tears finally began to stream down her cheeks as her voice faltered, "don't leave me like this, buddy..."

Eventually, Rouxls followed the sound of Susie's loud voice and went straight to Lancers room. He assumed that Susie and Lancer were just being loud like usual, though he never expected what he would walk into.

When he saw Susie crying on the floor with a dying Lancer in her arms, he immediately broke down and rushed to their side.

"What happened?!" He asked, kneeling down to take Lancer from Susie.

"I-I don't know! I just came in here to give him some new music and I just found him like this!" Susie retaliated, obviously upset, but then again who wouldn't be?

Rouxls was the next to demand that Ralsei heal the boy, but Ralsei just told him the same thing. Rouxls had a completely different reaction than Susie. He began yelling at Ralsei, denying the fact that it was out of Ralsei's hands, though he didn't really mean any of the harsh words he said. He was in denial that any of this was real. He was wishing that this all was a bad dream and that he'd wake up any second to see Lancer's smiling face...his pure, innocent face.
