I wake to the sound of trying to wake me up. And I guess I didn't wake up at first because the person is still hovering above me trying to shake me awake. He looks like a skeleton, which he probably is, and is wearing lots of blue. He has blue boots, blue gloves, some blue armour and a blue bandana tied around his neck. He was still shaking me frantically.

"Wake up! Wake up!" He was screaming at me in sort of a high pitched voice.

"Stop shaking me I'm already awake." I said pushing him off me.

"Oh thank god! I thought you were dead for a while there, I told Ink that you still needed food but he just wouldn't listen to me until now-"

"What's going on?" I asked. Surely that was something that I was entitled to know. Especially since I didn't remember anything at all.

"Oh Error...." he reached out and put his hand on my cheek. "I'm so sorry for this and I promise you that I will explain everything, just have something to eat first and then we'll talk."

He reached into a blue bag that he had brought with him and pulled out a sandwich, an apple, and some hotdogs. By now of course my stomach was hurting so much that I had to agree.

I grabbed for the sandwich first gobbling it down in about two bites. Then I remembered something. I don't necessarily know how I know it but I just do. That's that if you eat too much too fast then you might get sick. Why does it always seem to be pointless stuff like that that I've been remembering? I eat the rest of my food at a more leisurely pace. The whole time I feel like the skeleton guy is staring at me. I look down to avoid his gaze. What's he looking at? I might have something on my face, but does it really matter that much that he has to watch me eat the entire time.

After I finished eating we sat in awkward silence for a while. Until I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to break the silence.

"I-if you can't tell me what's going on could you at least tell me who I am? Or why you called me Error before?" I asked feeling nervous for how he would react or what he would say. For all I know I could be just a little experiment and he's coming in here to hurt me.

Then, for the first time I noticed that he was looking away from me. He was staring at the ground almost as though he was trying to hide his face. He let out a shaky breath and then

He threw his arms around me and started sobbing loudly. I wrapped my arms around him, hugging him back awkwardly because I didn't really know what else to do and if anything all this only made me even more confused.

"I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! It's all my fault that you're here!" He said still crying hysterically on my shoulder. "I shouldn't have let this happen! I should have protected you better! Y-you always said I was your knight in shining armour but some fucking knight I was when I couldn't save you.....I know it was selfish but I had to bring you back. I had to save you. When Ink came and told me that there was a chance I could get you back of course I had to agree! And then when he wouldn't let me see you.....I-I-I- at least now I kn-know wh-why...." he was stuttering and his voice was cracking all over the place. I could barely understand a word he said and I didn't really know how to make him feel any better about what was happening when I couldn't even remember it myself.

He just kept on crying. And I just kept on holding onto him. Eventually his loud sobbing faded into more of a quite sniffle and he seemed able to talk again.

"You really don't remember anything, do you?" He asked me, finally getting off me and standing a regular distance away instead of abnormally close to me.

"No." I shook my head. "I'm sorry I don't remember anything."

For some reason immediately after I'd said that some sort of a look of sadness seemed to wash over his face. Then my head starts to hurt. Really, really badly. I put my hands over my ears to stop the ringing but I know that it won't actually do anything because it's all in my head. It's almost as though my head is being torn open and I almost scream but try to keep myself from doing so. I screw my eyes shut and I can feel a bead of sweat dripping down from my forehead. What's happening to me?

Then suddenly the ringing stops and I can relax again. But when I open up my eyes again I can see that I'm not in the void anymore. I think it might be some sort of memory. I don't know how I can tell but I just can tell that it's different from having a dream. It just feels like I'm reliving some sort of memory.

But it's all so strange and hazy that I don't really know what's going on. And it only really lasts for about a second. In the memory I was sitting down at a table across from that blue skeleton guy. We were laughing. I guess this means that I had known him before? At this point I don't even know. I'm just so confused.
