You sat in your room, the dim light of your phone illuminating your face as you texted 


You 

The mission was a success, Make sure to reveal the crimes his father did on public. 


Moments later, his reply came through. 


Scaramouche

That man will die again today. First himself, now his name. Revenge is indeed better.


You felt a chill run down your spine, but you steeled yourself. 

You

Are the props ready?


Scaramouche

Yeah


he responded curtly. A thought crossed your mind, and you hesitated before typing

You

 Hey, teach me Minecraft?


You could almost feel the shift in his demeanor through the screen. His heart fluttered at the thought, but he masked it with his usual coldness. 

Scaramouche

Why would I?

You

I don't know, it could be fun!

The next message was slower in coming. 

 The chill in his tone pierced through the playful banter.

Scaramouche

You just got with Kinich, right? You don't need me.


Your heart sank a little, realizing how it sounded

You

I still want to hang out!

Silence hung between you for a moment, and when you finally checked your phone, you saw he hadn't replied.

In frustration, you typed

Scara, please. I just want to play with you.


 But there was still no answer.

Meanwhile, Scaramouche lay in his bed, holding his cat close, staring at the ceiling. The weight of the conversation loomed heavily in his mind. He felt an ache in his chest, almost like a puppet with a string pulled too tight. "Can a puppet cry?" he whispered to himself, feeling the sting of emotions welling up.
