-This chapter will contain heavy gore and graphic descriptions of injuries. You have been warned.
It feels like hours before Kode and Sebastian enter the shop. Sebastian seems....scared. He's never scared. He's always cold and snarky.
He's carrying Kode. The first thing you realize is the absurd amount of oil on the two, and Kode's limp form and agonized expression. "Wh-what happened?" You choke, the smell of smoke and blood making you nauseous. "....Y/N...look.." That's the first time Seb has ever called you by your real name, and he looks like he might cry. Something is very wrong. Very, very wrong. He sets them down in front of you, and you gasp in absolute horror.
Kode's stomach and throat are both ripped open, large hooks stuck in the ripped cloth and fur around the wounds. The slashes are incredibly deep, and you gag as you notice you can see the feline's internal organs through the gash. Blood and oil mix and pour from their wounds. Sebastian's pretty sliced up, too, but nothing as bad as this. Kode twitches, causing more oil to pulse from the cuts. They open their eyes a slit, and choke up oil violently before closing them again. "What..happened??"
"Searchlights..." Sebastian stuttered quickly, gritting his teeth to keep from sobbing. "T-they got caught- I pulled them away before they were eaten, b-but...." He couldn't help it. Tears spilled from his eyes and trickled down his cheeks. "Tell n-no one about this, expendable, if y-you want to keep your l-life..."
"C-cross my heart....I'm so sorry, Sebastian..."
"T-they were a jackass a-anyw- how can I say that, they saved my life more times than I can count...ugh, look at me, crying over a stupid robot cat. I'm Sebastian Solace, I'm not supposed to be 'emotional'..."
"S-should I-"
"Just stay. Or don't. Do whatever you want....I don't care...."
You want to comfort him, but you know he won't let you. You knew Kode was like a sibling to him, and yet he still refused to admit to being vulnerable. The poor guy had been through so much, from being falsely convicted of murder and sentenced to death, to being experimented on until he was an unrecognizable monster, to being deemed a lost cause and sent here to this hellhole, and now he'd lost the only person he was close to. Dear god...
"They're still breathing. Do you think we can try to...?"
"No. You can't fix this. Band-aids don't fix bullet holes, or in this case, huge gashes that expose a person's internal organs."
"Wait! Didn't they say they could heal naturally..?"
"Yes, but they weren't designed to handle such drastic injuries. And with the way their programming's been acting up...I doubt they can heal much at all."
"I'm really, Truly sorry...."
"Don't be. H-Happens to the best of us.."
He forced a smile and flashed a thumbs-up at you.
You couldn't help it, it was an impulse decision.
You ran up, and hugged him.
