I locked the door to my room, fearing for my life. I was lucky Dandy let me go. Was i gonna twist?! I must keep myself locked away, as far from the others as possible...
What if i was gonna go wild?! A mindless Twisted?!

My whines and sobs were echoing through my large room as i ran around during my panic attack. Was i already twisting?!
I looked in the mirror and saw my eye shining a red color, and my tears looking more like Ichor than clear.
No... It's happening! I began crying harder, my heart thumping in my chest.
My thoughts were tumbling one over the other, and my surroundings dimmed in darkness. I heard footsteps from all around me.

Three knocks were heard at my door and a voice from the other side. I snapped out of my panic attack, the room lighting back up and the illusions disappearing.

"Astro! Are you okay?!"

I recognized Tisha's voice. She probably saw the Ichor i trailed after me on the way to my room.

"Don't come here! I'm dangerous!" I shouted, still sobbing.

"Nonsense! Open the door!"

I hesitantly covered myself in a new blanket and unlocked the door. There was Ichor all over my floor.

Tisha walked in, looking confused as she saw the dirty floors.

"What happened here, darling? Are you hurt?"

"Yes..." I mumbled, not willing to show my wounds.

"Much work to do... I'll clean all this, you go right to Sprout! He'll heal you right up."

"I'm fine... Just..."

"Astro, look how much Ichor you've lost! You're going right to Sprout! Don't make me drag you there..." Said Tisha, pulling out her broom.

I slowly left the room, leaving Tisha to do the cleaning. I knocked on Sprout's greenhouse door.

"Come in!" He said, before i heard a grunt. He probably tripped over again...

I walked into the greenhouse. Sprout had mud all over his legs, stomping towards me.

"Hey Astro! What brings you around?"

"Uhm.... I got a bit hurt..."

"What are you waiting for? Show me!" He demanded.

I pulled off my blanket, revealing the large scratches on my arm. They were no longer leaking, but still hurt a lot.

"Whoa! How did you get that bad?" Asked Sprout, beginning to heal the wounds.

"Well... It doesn't matter..." I whispered, feeling hurt to remember who caused them.

"You know, Astro. I can't only see if someone is physically hurt. Something tells me your body isn't the only thing hurting."

"Uh... I guess you're right..." I spoke, with pain in my voice.

"Heartaches, huh? I'm afraid I can't heal those. I suggest you talk to someone... How about Vee? She's your best friend, right?" Asked Sprout, worried.

"I'll go... But I'm not sure if she will take this lightly..."

"Why not? You didn't do this to yourself, did you?"

"Oh, no! It's just... "

"Ah... Him..."

"You know how Vee doesn't... Control her anger very well... Especially when something happens to me." I whispered.

"Right... I'm not a therapist, but i still think that if she's this close to you, she has to know. She'll worry otherwise!" Said Sprout, patting my shoulder after he finishes healing me.

"Thanks, Sprout." I thank him, putting my blanket back on.

"Good luck, starboy!"
