I never EVER expected this book to get as far as it has, and honestly, it's all thanks to you guys. A good few of you have been here from the beginning, and to you few, I owe you alot.

You see, this book, along with my others that I'm working on, is sort of what keeps me grounded.

Keeps me from going insane.

Alot has happened to me in my lifetime, I'm honestly surprised that I don't do any form of self harm anymore.

Anyways, to see all of you loving this story means the world and a half to me, y'all don't even know.

Also, before we start, trigger warning. Horrid Flashbacks and self harm ahead.

Enjoy the chapter, guys. Y'all deserve it!

"Fr h, wa e up."

"Fres , wake up."

"Fresh, wake up!"

Fresh groggily sat up, rubbing his skull. He felt a weight on his legs and looked down- Decans was smiling at him while using his knees as pillows.

"M-mornin', s-sleepin' b-beauty." He said quietly, coughing as he too sat up.

"Gmmnn'n." Fresh replied, popping his fingers and back. "Y'know 't takes alot ta look dis good." He said as he posed dramatically, making Decans laugh as a yellow hue fell upon his face. The two heard a glitchy chuckle and looked over to see Error, Geno, and Naiko grinning at them. Naiko pointed at the two and turned to Geno.

"I-I s-ship it." He chuckled, and Geno laughed along with him, curling his fingers into the shape of a heart and pushing it towards Fresh and Decans. The neon-covered two, however, were looking at Error, who was currently blinded by errors and growling angrily.

"Ya good dere glitchy brah?" Fresh said as he stood, helped Decans shakily stand, and grabbed his hat off of the ground. He pulled it onto Deccy's head and, seeing as it was a little big, it fell over his eyes with a dignified plop. Naiko chuckled again and turned to Error when a glitchy gasp of pain was heard.

Error was doubled over, clutching his ribs as red error signs circled him and occasionally stabbed into him. Fresh half ran, half slid over to Error and pulled him into a hug. As the errors now pounded into both of them, Fresh ignored it as he told many soothing words to the dark skeleton. Soon enough, the red errors stopped and Error could see once more. He hiccuped and thanked Fresh, standing up with a grunt and opening a portal.

"I'm off to search for Inky again." He stated blankly, almost robotically, and stepped through the portal. Fresh sighed and faced the rest of the group, summoning a table and pancakes with beverages in front of them. Yes, Fresh's portal/ dimension altering ability was a great way to get food and entertainment. As they sat and talked, Naiko couldn't help but feel in the way.
