(The digital world of Gamindustri was vibrant, lively, and full of strange, colorful adventures. Yet, standing at the edge of a cliff in the Planeptune region, Y/N saw none of it. The bright blue skies and the warmth of the sun felt distant, as though they didn't belong to him. His mind was a mess, tangled with dark thoughts that weighed heavier than the world around him.)
Y/N: (in mind) Why did life have to feel so empty?
(He felt utterly out of place, not only in Gamindustri but in life itself. The adventures, the companionship—none of it filled the void inside him. The smiles and laughter of the CPUs and their companions were a cruel contrast to the cold loneliness in his heart.)
(He stared down into the abyss, the dark thoughts pulling him closer to the edge.)
????: Don't even think about it.
(The voice came suddenly, sharp and serious, pulling him from the precipice. He turned, his heart skipping a beat as he saw Neptune standing a few feet away, her usually playful demeanor replaced by something far more intense. Her violet eyes were narrowed in concern, and her mouth set in a frown.)
Y/N: How did you...?
(Y/N began to ask, but before he could finish, Noire appeared beside Neptune, her arms crossed and her expression equally stern.)
Noire: We've been watching you. We couldn't ignore how you've been acting lately.
(Blanc and Vert appeared next, flanking him from either side. Y/N found himself surrounded by the CPUs, their eyes filled with a strange mix of concern and something else—something darker.)
Blanc: You were thinking of doing something stupid, weren't you? We can't let you disappear. Not like this.
Y/N: (steps back) Why do you care? No one does. I'm just... broken. There's nothing left for me.
(Vert's gentle smile didn't quite reach her eyes. She took a step forward, her hand reaching out to touch his arm.)
Vert: Oh, Y/N, you're wrong. You mean more to us than you realize. You're not allowed to leave us.
(He felt his heart race, a mix of confusion and fear creeping in.)
Y/N: Why? What am I to you?
(Neptune's usual carefree attitude returned for a moment, but there was an undercurrent of something dangerous as she smirked.)
Neptune: You're ours, silly. You think you can just walk away from us? We won't let that happen.
Blanc: (nods) We've seen your pain. We know what you're going through. But that's why we're here—to keep you with us. Forever.
(Y/N's chest tightened. The affection they were showing wasn't normal—it was possessive, obsessive, and suffocating. The CPUs' concern for him wasn't out of simple friendship; it ran much deeper, to a place that frightened him.)
Noire: You're not allowed to leave. We'll make sure of that. You'll stay with us, Y/N. Forever.
(The cliff's edge was no longer an escape.)
