The guilt was washing over Starlo as he desperately ran away from the spot. Wandering further and further from the town. The strong winds of the dunes provoked a sandstorm. The vision of Ceroba fading away in front of his eyes repeating again and again. Because of him! He caused this! Murderer! Murderer! CRIMINAL! You deserve NO MORE to be a sheriff! Monster do not kill other monsters! Starlo right eye twitched as these thoughts flooded his head as he walked through the windy dunes. The sandstorm did not stop him. In fact, he managed to find a n abandoned house to hide from the sandstorm outside.
He stayed inside for not so much, when noticed a shadow outside between the sandstorm taking form, a shape of a kid. It entered the house, holding his hat, it was Clover!The cowboy like dressed kid just looked at Starlo, as if it was judging him despite no making any expression. Starlo looked at him back, not sure about what to do. "I know. You are mad. I dont blame ya." Starlo looked his hands, as if they had blood on them. But no... they were clean... "You witnessed how i MURDERED Ceroba"
"I ran away like a coward, and ya just stood there. Takin it, with that face. Why?" Clover tried explaining himself but Starlo didn't listen whatsoever, instead kept repeating to himself the same insults. Clover tried reaching has hand out as a form of friendship, but Starlo took it as aggresion and smacked it away, proceeding to run away. Dissapearing between the sandstorm again. What a big coward.Starlo ran away as the same place of before. The pit. Clover managed to follow him between all the orange clouds and the tumbleweeds.
Finally at the pit, Starlo turned around to see if Clover was there, and yes. Clover was there behind him, yelling, quite tired. "Will you stop following me!?". His right eye was twitching, his hands were shaking. Starlo hasnt accepted that he's a murderer.
Clover told Starlo to quit running away and stop being a coward. To accept the fact that he's a murderer. That he cant run away forever.Clover told him the truth
These words hit like a truck to Starlo, whom was grinding his teeth nerviously as he heard everything. He just looked at Clover, not knowing what to say... He was out of words, knowing that everything that Cloved said was true. The wind caressed both of them as they stood on the pit. When suddenly Starlo yells "WHAT I HAVE DONE!?", he said, covering his face as he lowered his head, he was breaking. He crouched as he kept covering his face. He was starting to shed some tears
Starlo began crying loudly. Trying to clean his face, taking off his hat. Revealing his true identity... Just a nobody farmer, his glasses shined as they were covered with tears and dust. "This is who i am. Just a miserable farmer." He said, defeated. Not only insulting himself but his own family, as they were only farmers as well.....
(Poopy doodle incoming)Clover after watching the true identity of Starlo. He quickly moved his left hand, grabbing his gun, and put it right to his head, Clover gasped as he watched Starlo trigger the gun. But the gun was empty, nothing happened... Clover snatched the gun from Starlo's hand and threw it to the pit. The weapon dissapeared into the infinite darkness. Proceeding to hug Starlo, to what he answered by hugging back, sobbing. "I'm horrible!" Starlo said.After a long hug, Starlo seemed to finally have calmed down. And they stopped hugging, Starlo stood up from the ground and cleaned the dust on his trousers, he looked at his family's farm which was far away.
"I guess we'll have to past through my parents house..." Starlo said, seeming nervous of going there. Clover nodded his head, trying to motivate Starlo to pass by.
