#3 - Stich up

"Nobody will ever save you, get up and be alone suffering forever in this world."

— “that stupid face of his.”

I saw Nickel with his one leg up in the bench, wrapped up in his strawberry crepe. He looked to me, looking annoyed the fact he had to meet me in his little peace time.

“Why're you here Balloon..?” Nickel asked Balloon, Balloon looked around and shrugged.

“I don't know either.” Balloon answered Nickel’s question, sounding nonchalant. He doesn't want to put that much effort to talk to Nickel who he thinks is just an annoying being, the one who he really shouldn't be worth of his time.

“... Well, I saw that you came from the arcade.. and it seems like somebody still hasn't won a single thing in his life.” Nickel said to Balloon, Balloon just rolled his eyes to Nickel.

“Oh please, I did.. I just..” Balloon was supposed to speak but he couldn't let anybody know he gave his prize to someone, but nonetheless, he gave it a shot. “I just gave it to a kid, because I'm actually better than you.” Balloon continued to say, Nickel raised his brow at him.

Nickel then took a big bite of his strawberry crepe, he then said. “You would usually flex people that you won something, too proud of it. And it seems like you gave it to a crying kid, sounds right?” Nickel asks Balloon, Balloon looked a bit shocked that Nickel knows that information.

“what a stalker you are.” Balloon said to Nickel. “I'm observing!” Nickel said to Balloon, most likely trying to prove his innocence, though Balloon didn't saw any of this ‘innocence’ of his. “Yeah yeah, plus, I gave it to the kid because crying kids are too annoying! I can't listen to somebody cry, it makes me want to rip my ears off.” Balloon said, his feet tapped, Nickel noticed that as he then cleared his throat.

“Oh well, you do you. I guess.” Nickel said, finishing his strawberry crepe and standing up to the bench, he then walked away. “I–” Balloon wanted to say something, but if Nickel doesn't want to hear it, then Balloon won't say it.

‘weird, there's this feeling.. NO- there's no feeling.’ Balloon quickly fought his thought, as he then walked away in the opposite direction of Nickel.

While he was walking, his mind then spammed him with thoughts. ‘Why do people that know me act like I'm some sort of monster?’ he thought to himself, though he's not quite very aware of his actions. ‘why do I even have this problems?’ he asked himself again, looking down, he then stopped walking. ‘i try to solve things, right? Why can't I solve this?’ balloon thought to himself, he looked at a small rock infront of him, he then kicked it.

“Stupid rock, get out of my way!” He said to the inanimate rock, it doesn't even have a life, jeez, calm down Balloon. ‘maybe I'm the one causing all this problems.’ he thought, he then looked around, he saw two friends, the two friends were two different people, yet they could stick together, like they were two peas in a pod. Balloon looked at them, with pure jealousy.

‘i don't need friends!’ he thought to himself, looking away at the two friends. ‘...maybe I do..?’ his mind clicked when he got that thought, his body paused.

His then looked onto his own hands, he looked around. Had someone ever held his hand? Had someone ever warmed his cold hand? Had someone ever hugged him?
He then shakes his head and continued to walk, if somebody saw him like that it'd be embarrassing, imagine trying to have a peaceful walk and seeing someone looking at their hands like there was blood on it.

“Stupid stupid stupid..” he muttered to himself, he walked more faster. “I'm Balloon, season 1 inanimate insanity contestant, a show by that dumb phone named Mephone4, I think the way to win is to not be myself, to be someone, to be with someone, and to ruin the relationship on purpose.” Balloon said to himself quietly, like he was trying to remember who he was supposed to be. “I'm better than everyone.” He said to himself. “But, I don't think I'm good enough. Maybe if I point out the fact people aren't good enough also, I'll feel a bit better, but it didn't.” Balloon continued, he stopped walking.

“What's going on with me?!” He complained, looking at the store with a big window, he looked at that big window of the closed store, staring at his own reflection. “....” He was silent, he just stared.

‘...I am my own problem, I cause more problems to myself to try ignore the fact I am my own problem.’ Balloon thought. ‘though I try to run away from my problems, which makes things..’ his thought got cut off by a random memory on his mind, he remembered Trophy.

“Season 2.. maybe…”

“ A second chance?” Balloon asked to himself, now touching the window infront of him.
