Even MOMS can go to UNIVERSITY!

OH, IT'S GONNA BE FUN!! : Breakdown Central In The Centre of Oxford University

Anyway, while the Periodblood Trio and Jacqueline were doing that, the rest of the GangTM were stuck in a depression, caught up in the state of 'Reduced Lesbian Concentration'. And worst of all, Jacqueline had taken Leancloth with her so they were stuck in Buckstars until they came back. Usually, this would be alright, but Stainless and Vigil had recently discovered their disgustingly sickly love for each other since Valentine's Day and had to let everyone there know. It wasn't even lewd, it was just so fucking domestic even Eja and Sasha were out fluffed by their mouldy bread fungus fluff.

In particular, Lee Arknights was having a rough time. Surrounded by this romantic domestic bliss, with no hack wback to lend him a Nintendo Swap and no John to sing beautiful songs, even Sasha's pocket couldn't soothe him. For you see, it had been one year and many more including the period of time they spent in Germany but it honestly felt like a fever dream so it might as well have been one year since his precious, precious, lovely and darling brother lee had been aerisofied and Lee Arknights reduced to a cutie patootie little chibi.

In his little room that was just some cupboard with a handkerchief as a bed, Lee Arknights lit a candle that smelled like pining and pineapples and stared up at the illuminated can of his little brother lee in the dark of Buckstars' condiments cupboard. He pulls out a crumpled picture of his brother he rolled up into the size of a thimble from his hat and places it in front of his can of brother. Then, he begins to cry and cry and cry.

"OH BROTHER, HOW I M-M-MISS YOU SO SO SO MUCH!! *sniffing* I can't take this... s-s-s-s—seeing you and y-y-y—your beautiful smile in in in PAPER, PAPER FORM! *he clutches the ratty tatty photograph* NOT REAL PHPHYSICAL..! *He strokes the image* I-I It's too mu mu much to to bare! Its been a its been a or a or a year, year or something A WHOLE YEAR and we're st st still no closer to finding th th th that Jeremy Williams.! *he buries his tiny head in his tiny hands* I want to feel your, your your strong tail and be be be beautiful gloved hands just.... Just once more! I want to enjoy mum's f-fuh-fuuh-fuh fried paracetamol! Even if she ma-make-makes it now, its its JUST NOT THE SAME! *sobbing* not the same.... No matter how strong of a painkiller she fries, it nEVER RIDS THE PAIN OF LOSING YOU, WAHHHHHH *more sobbing*"

In his emotional tirade he flings his pinprick arms about wildly. He begins to spin without realising, and still holding onto his picture of his brother he begins to fly within the space of the cupboard. And he keeps going, the weightlessness of his form doing nothing to drag him out of this cesspool of manic depression and despair as he begins to drift towards the flame of the candle. Then, he begins to feel the heat, but it does not register. Idiot.

"Oh... Oh lee, is that that that is that is that you..? *sniffles and closes his eyes* I can feel your incredible warmth... what is this? Are you... are you coming bACK?!?!??! *cries more, while laughing* AHAHAHHAH! I KNEW IT, BROTHER, BROTHER YOU ARE YOU ARE HOME, WELCOME BACK HOME MY HANDSOME AND MAGNIFICENT LITTLE BROTHER!!! AHAHAHHAHA!!!! AHAHAH!!!!"

His eyes snap open, fully believing to see lee standing before him, but all he sees is a roasting hot fire that he's inching towards. In a fitful fright, he swings the photo of his brother into the flame and is flung backwards. Scrambling up in horror, he watches as the photo of his brother burns and disintegrates into ash. The sight of lee's smiling face contorting and curling into a smouldering powder will forever haunt his dreams.

Anyway, while that's happening, Mother Petrograd was busy celebrating the anniversary of their adventure in a different way. She was busy tracking down the hottest man on this godforsaken aerisofied earth, Oxford University, and she has found a fantastic lead. Using 'Bing! Search or Be Castrated' engine, she found the location of Oxford University. Apparently, he had miraculously turned back into his hot man form and was DEaerisofied. Yes this may be a breakthrough in their search to save the world and she should probably tell everyone, but fuck that. HOT MAN ALERT!
