Dandy hugged me tightly. "You almost got caught, Asy..... I had to revive them both and convince them they had a bad dream..... there's only so much I can do, you have to be more careful!" He let go, crossing his arms and glaring at me.

I sighed, looking down. "I'm sorry, Dandy, I tried going solo but they just....came in, and if I only have one heart, I might as well make the best of it and take risks......" He threw his hands up in the air.

"No, Astro, that means you have to be more careful! Don't... don't do that, Astro. That means I'd have to revive you more. I don't want to do that, Astro. And no, I'm not saying you're a waste of time and ichor, I'm saying that I care about you and don't want you constantly dying."

I stared at him making his speech, the lighting low yet he seemed to glow. I smiled softly, nodding. "Okay.... I'll be more careful." Dandy's smile brightened, he hugged me again, planting a kiss on my lips and pulling away. "Good, good!"

He stepped back, putting on his rubber gloves again. "Now, we've got more work to do! This time, however, I'm drinking the ichor. Don't want ya getting hurt again!" He pointed up in the air, pinching on his goggles, and running off to do what he calls 'science-y things'.

I unrolled a piece of paper stained with ichor, writing down a few notes.

Entry 4

New subjects are struggling to adapt.

Dandy insists that it'll be okay, but how can it be when the others are questioning the disappearances? Subject Sp4 is yet to be captured. Until then, subjects Ve1, Sh2, and Pe3 must be fed and taken care of.

Astro, signing out.

I hesitantly rolled the paper up again, putting it in a folder mounted to the wall.

I walked through a separated hallway from the main laboratory, 4 doors lined up in a row. I took a container of oil, walking into room one.

The walls, like all the others in containment cells, were padded with white cushions, similar to a psych ward.

Ve1 was sitting with her-....its back turned to me. I walked forward slowly. Perhaps....it was asleep...?

Its tail whipped forward, shutting the door behind me and holding it closed. My eye widened.

It stood up, turning around to face me. A hurt yet enraged expression was on its face. "H0w could you do this, Astro?" It said softly.

I looked down, backing up and jerking the door open, leaving the canister of oil behind and slamming the door shut.



Oh, hey Astro! Cosmo and I were just about to bake a few cupcakes-.......

Hey, hey. Stay back. Why are you giving me that look?

I don't.... Like what you're doing.

The other mains have been disappearing. Each and everyone one.

Except for you and I.
