      Fresh skated around the empty white void, not really caring what was going on around him. The only thing that really crossed his mind was what he said to Error. Did he really mean it?

      "Of course," Fresh murmured, facepalming. "Why else would I have said it? I ain't no liar..."

      Though, deep down, Fresh knew he hurt Error, he didn't care.

      Not one bit.

      After all, creatures like him couldn't feel emotions.

      Fresh was just an empty, emotionless parasite.

      He had left the glitchy skeleton with nothing but his thoughts - certainly enough to drive him to insanity.

      Satisfied with this thought, Fresh smirked to himself.

      Fresh lost his balance on his skateboard and faceplanted onto the ground as the sound of a portal opening was heard.

      "FRESH! HAVE YOU SEEN ERROR?!!!" It was the smol Blue skeleton!

      "Yeah, brah," Fresh replied coolly. "That un-rad broski went to Outertale."

      "THANK YOU!" Blue opened another portal, leaping through it. Curious, the colorful skeleton followed him.

      He simply wanted to see where this would go.

      Yeah, that's it.

      Nothing more, nothing less.

      Nothing.

     Blue walked up to the glitchy skeleton, looking at him with concern. "ERROR?"

      "B-Blue?" Error turned, seeing the smol skeleton looking at him worriedly.

      "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE - WAIT.. WERE YOU CRYING?!??!? DO YOU NEED HELP!!??! BLUE THE MAJESTIC EAGLE WILL ASSIST YOU!"

      "Eagle? Wha-"

      Blue gave Error a hug. It chilled him to the bone.

      Fresh felt a pang of guilt.

      Wait, "felt"?

      No, that was wrong.

      He wasn't supposed to feel anything.

      Yet, the feeling lingered anyway.

      Then, another "feeling" came.

      Jealousy.

      But.. why?

      Was it because he saw Blue hug Error? Why would he care anyway?     

     Why would he care about anything?

      He was a parasite.

      He's not supposed to have feelings.

      Though Error quickly pushed the smaller skeleton away, Fresh (who was hiding and watching them, not creepy at all..) couldn't help but feel this way.

      He desperately wanted to comfort the glitchy skeleton, but...

      The only question he had was, 'why'?

      Why would he want to?

      Why is this happening?

      Why is this so difficult!?

      Fresh crossed his arms, deep in thought.

      He jumped when he heard footsteps coming his way.

      Fresh quickly jumped onto his skateboard and skated away, opening a portal back to the white void he had previously been skating in.

      Fresh decided that, later, he would ask the small Blue skeleton his question.

      Why?
