Error's POV

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Fresh."

We stayed like that for a long time as I kept on sobbing tears of joy into his neon jacket. Until, Fresh and I departed from the hug and looked at each other.

Fresh smiled, looking at me with joy. Real happiness. I could feel his aura growing stronger. I bet that he could also feel mine because we just kept on smiling at each other, our grins getting wider. 

The silence between us wasn't tense or awkward but a comforting silence that I could last forever with. 

After a few minutes, I hugged him again for a goodbye. I was just happy. Pure-sheer happiness. Later, Fresh left, saying, "Alright, Broski. I guess I'll take my cue. I'll swing by later my diddly darn pal, seeya around!" 

"Seeya, Fresh." I replied. 

Sitting there, alone, kind of felt a little weird right now. The voices haven't come back yet in a while... I wonder what's up with them. 

I'm... Just overjoyed by what just happened. 

Silently, I put on the necklace with a smile and stared at the picture that was inside. I want to keep this safe but I also want to keep it as a secret... hmm... I tucked the necklace into my shirt so no one could see it but I was still wearing it and put my hoodie on my head. 

Still smiling, I open a portal to Outertale. Just one portal wouldn't hurt, right? Let me think... Uh. Never mind. That will take up too much energy. Slowly, I closed the portal to make sure no one in Outertale heard it.

Again, I took and opened the locket, staring at the image. I can't believe Fresh gave me this. I knew that he had a kind heart somewhere in that 90's mess! 

I sighed, thinking about the good times where Geno still accepted me.  He was always so overprotective over Fresh and I. Fresh was the youngest, Geno was the oldest, and me being the middle child. 

I remember this one time where we were in the park. I think it happened when I was in... 4th grade? Yeah. Fourth grade. That means Geno was in 6th and Fresh was in 3rd. We were sitting in a tree, talking to each other until a random stranger pulled me down onto the grassy floor.

"Hey! Error! Are you okay!?" Geno yelled as he jumped down.

When I was about to answer, someone muffled my mouth with a handkerchief. I cried out for Geno as I was getting dragged away. My eyes were blindfolded as I screamed for help over and over until light flooded my vision again and I didn't feel anything on my mouth. I saw Geno repetitively  punching the man who almost kidnapped me. 

I thought that it was a good time to escape with Fresh so I called for him but there was no answer. I called for him again and heard some muffled screams of help. I ran to the noise and saw Fresh with a man who was wearing the same clothing as the one who Geno was beating up.

He was crying and looked very beat up. Quickly without thinking, I summoned a Gaster Blaster and hit the man, dusting him.
