Time had passed and when the wound just barely started to heal, Error, Cross and I planned to go to Dream's buisness and fuck stuff up. We procrastinated, yet again, at the time of arrival.
It gave me enough time to do it again.
I didn't do it as bad... I knew I needed energy. I just did a little bit of rib carving, the pain dull but I loved how the blood dripped. I sighed, wondering if I should wrap up my wounds to avoid getting blood on my clothes. Staring at the door, I rejected the idea as it required going outside the room and I knew I couldn't do that.
I sighed yet again and put on my shirt. Looking straight at my eyelights, noticing their color was different then the last time I truely looked at them and it made me wonder about what my existence even meant anymore. I wasn't feeling good but I couldn't continue what I wanted to pursue. Without further thoughts on the subject, I put away the knife in a special place, somewhere Cross nor Error looked and went outside the room.
Error was dealing with some of his strings before we left, and Cross was having a last-minute munch of chocolate. I didn't interact with them and decided to have a check and see how Kevin was doing.
The rooster was calming down for the night, just silently pecking around the ground and lightly clucking. He turned his head and tilted it to the side when I entered the coop.
"Hey there, Kevin", I walked up to the chicken. He blinked in confusion as to why I was here so late. I knelt onto one knee and started petting Kevin, laughing breathlessly when Kevin lightly pecked at my hand. The rooster walked up and rubbed his head against my chest.
Could animals..? I didn't dare finish that thought. It was just... accidental. It had no meaning. None whatsoever...
For the first time in a long time my tears came. I was desperate to be quiet, as to not alert the two in the house. Kevin allowed to be picked up and gently squeezed, my violet tears falling onto his plumage.
After a good cry, I put Kevin back onto the ground and wiped my eyes. "Well, I have to go. See you, Kevin..." I waved Kevin goodbye. The chicken desperately followed me to the gate. As I locked it for the night, Cross came outside the house.
"There you are!" Cross smiled, "We're ready to go."
I nodded, "Alright", and opened up a portal to JR.

I gasped for breath, my old wounds opening up and starting to bleed, combined by my new wounds. Error and Cross would've been ahead of me had they not lagged behind to help me. Guards were on our asses, Dream flying towards us as fast as he could. It was a race.
And Justice Reigns won.
Error was seized first by a guard, glitching out when he was touched and rendered vulnerable to capture. Cross, desperate to try and save both comrades, got seized as well trying to free the guard's grip on Error. I limped so weakly that a guard could've captured me, but Dream landed on me, causing me to end up hitting the floor. Hard.
Already I was winded from hitting my chest against the floor, but my wounds opened up fully, bleeding out profusely. Dream unsheathed his sword and put it against my neck. "Try to escape and you'll be dust."
I tried to laugh, but slightly coughed up blood instead. "There won't be just one dust pile if you kill me", I bitterly remarked. Dream pushed his foot harder against my back, which caused me to gasp out in lots of pain I hadn't quite felt in a while.
"Nightmare!" Cross shouted, ineffectively fighting against the guard that held him away from me. I could sense a gush of affection - infatuation.
"Would you look at that", Dream spat, "Cross' in love with you. Pathetic."
