(II 17 SPOILERS!!!! ALSO ANGST!!!!!)








*clink!...*

She dropped on the soft soil within an instant, gone.

Her limbs and face erased from her body, leaving a shell of what she once was merely a second ago, static and still  - inanimate, if you will.

Their flaming hair extinguished at the sight, dropping to their knees. Starting to choke on their own cries, paintbrush tries to process the event. It all happened so quick, in a flash she was gone.

"No...no no no l-lightbulb, I-..." paintbrush wasn't even able to finish their sentence before being hauled back into their gut-wrenching sob.

Their hands quivered as they looked down at her body, before scooping her up in their arms, positioning her comfortably. Putting a hand up towards where her face once was, they watched their tears splash onto her delicate glass, before wiping them away as to not be disrespectful.

*pit..pat....pit..pat....*

She was still warm to the touch, however, just like her life, that would soon diffuse to virtually nothing within no time.

Paintbrush felt glued to the floor, glued to her, stuck in this very moment, unable to move on. No no no, this isn't happening. Oh but it very much was, and paintbrush knew it. Doesn't mean they excepted it however.

Every time they thought they had calmed down, a new mourning memory popped into their head, pulling them back into their sorrowful state like a violent yank at the collar.

And things became clear to them, unlike their own vision that was blurred with tears and ached to use from their puffy eyes.

They didn't want her all alone. Not again.
