4:17 PM: Purpled's Apartment

...................................................................................

"Niki, what are you doing here this evening?" the question I asked was a genuine one. She's never come to my house before, but I don't even think I ever told her where I lived... She was still in uniform meaning after she finished up work she probably rushed here. "Hi Purpled... um. I-- I wanted to talk about something. It's important." She looked rather; how do I say this? Tense, jittery, alarmed? Probably anxious. But... why? "Of course we can talk, please, come inside." With a small smile, she cautiously stepped inside. Her behavior was really bugging me. It's unlike her to be acting in such a way. Maybe it's because of Tubbo's recent disappearance that she's a bit shaken up. I motioned for her to take a seat on the couch, and I closed the door. After hearing the closing of the door, she did that little jump thing that humans do when they're scared. Something was definitely wrong. I was about to sit down on the other side of the couch, but I glanced at the kitchen and had an idea in mind. "Are you hungry or thirsty?" I asked with a welcoming smile. "I guess I am pretty hungry. I skipped lunch today to get some extra work done. Sure, I could go for a small bite!" "Do you like "pork" stew? I have leftovers." "Pork? I don't really eat much pork; I usually eat beef but..." She hesitated on her next words but finally was able to get them out. "Sure! Why not?" It was good that she accepted because I still have leftover Tubbo stew. Humans are really meaty creatures so it's really hard to get rid of all of it. Sometimes I would go to homeless shelters and give out some of the stew to them too! They really seemed to like it! At least now everyone has a bit of Tubbo left in them. I think of it more as a gift to his soul! I don't think he really likes my gift though. But the goal of the gift wasn't to make him happy so why should I care how he feels? He's dead. After I finished scooping some Tubbo stew for Niki I added a special ingredient of mine. For emergencies of course!

I went back to the living room after heating up the stew and I gave it to her. I sat down on the other side of the couch as she started to eat some and nod her head in tasty satisfaction. "Okay Purpled, it's time to talk about why I'm actually here." She took a deep breath and exhaled smoothly. "Why did you kill Tubbo?" "What?" She... She knew!? First Quackity now Niki? How many people knew? "Huh... Looks like you weren't as slick as you thought you were!" It was Tubbo... again. Throwing a sharp gaze at him, I turned back to Niki. Her look was firm and serious, but the undertone of freight still radiated off of her. "Niki, I have no idea what your--" "Please, Purpled. Just tell me. I already know. There's no need to lie to me. I saw it all." "You... you saw it all?" "I saw all of it. But... I was too scared, too stunned to speak. I ran back to the party like nothing happened, but I couldn't help thinking that..." It was almost as if a lump formed in her throat, she paused a lot between her words. "That maybe... Just maybe... You had good intentions. I know were just co-workers... and that we don't know each other like that, but I want to believe that... you're a good person. You wouldn't do something like this without a good reason. Right?" She thought... that I was a good person? But then she started to cough once, and then she coughed again, and then again, and then again, and then again, and then again, and then again, and then again, and then-- "P--P--Purpled! Help! P--Please." "Unfortunate for you Niki, I am a bad person." She kept gasping for air. "I'm not even a person at all." She started to wheeze. "I'm so sorry you had to get all caught in this mess but... it isn't your fault. You just shouldn't have trusted me. But you're top kind." I gave her a nice pat on the back as she rolled onto the floor holding her neck. "Too trusting. Sadly, I can't bring myself to trust you to not tell anyone." Warm blood started to spill out her mouth, the life started to leave her eyes, and a weird purple substance came from her nostrils, getting up from the couch I knelt down and held her body with a napkin to catch all the liquids flowing from her body. "I'm sorry, Niki. You didn't deserve this." I somehow felt something. Was this feeling guilt? It didn't matter. Her pulse slowed and her movement was no more. That was a bit brutal do I say so myself. I should've just choked her out of her misery instead! I never had to use the Orkling's tail poison before so how would I know even the tiniest drop could kill a human? I never wanted to kill Niki... but I guess things are just better that way.

"What the fuck have you done Purpled!? You killed her! How could you!?" "I know I killed her Tubbo. I have eyes." "You're... You're mad! You're a crazy, sadistic psychopath! How could you kill a sweet, inno--" "No, no, no! Not innocent." I quickly cut him off. "She knew. Everything. She saw it all." My body released a drop of water out of my eyes like humans do when they cry. Deep inside I must've felt some sort of remorse. I just can't find it. "Look what you've done. Do you think Tommy would be proud of a monster like you!?" I had the urge to scream back at him, but I secretly knew in the end that he was right. But that's the thing. Tommy doesn't know what he wants. He's confused. "Aren't you going to answer me!?" "She was so kind, always looking out for everyone." I trailed off. "I noticed one thing though... She didn't go to the police immediately with her witness account. Why? Did she want to believe I wasn't a ruthless killer? That you died with a reason and that's why she wanted to confront me first?" I felt conflicted for once in my life. I felt... guilty. "And that was her first mistake coming to confront a LITERAL MURDER about why they murdered someone! I know Niki and she's smarter than that! But I guess her kindness just took over..." He looked at her body somberly mourning her death. "Well, you did die for a reason, a good reason at that. You were way too close to my Tommy and I couldn't take the risk!" "I don't like Tommy, Purpled! Me and Ranboo got together last week and wanted to tell everyone at the party, but you killed me before we could tell anyone!" He almost looked like he was crying. Actually, never mind he was crying. Tubbo's always been such an emotional crybaby. "If I would've known earlier that you already sealed your heart off to another then I wouldn't have killed you! So, your death was entirely your fault!" The aura for revenge around him grew stronger. I softened my voice before continuing. "Niki's death is entirely my fault, if I wasn't sloppy with the way I handled the first killing then she would've never seen it, rendering her death completely my fault." There was a silence as we both looked at her lifeless body and wide eyes as the purple effects from the poison began to drool out her mouth. "I hate you Purpled. I fucking hate you." He then disappeared. He was probably off crying in a corner or something. But just like before I felt no remorse for him. For Niki I felt some kind of guilt in my heart, but then remembering what would've happened if she got to the police with this made all that guilt fade away. My Tommy is more important than anyone else... than anything else.
