(The depression gets real)

3rd person pov

Y/n was taken to Compa and got healed again. Everyone was relieved to see that he was ok, but Y/n looked at his hands and looked down in a depressed way.

Compa: Y/n... Are you feeling well.
Y/n: I... Couldn't control it....
Neptune: but you saved us. That's what matters.
Y/n: that form... It's too dangerous... To let it out would bring chaos to this place.

IF placed a hand on Y/n's shoulder.

IF: don't let it get to you.
Y/n: how? That form isn't me controlling it.
Vert: what will you do now?
Y/n: ... I don't know...

Y/n got up and walked out of the room. Neptune was about to follow him, but was stopped by IF.

IF: don't. He isn't feeling well and probably needs some alone time.
Neptune: ... I guess you're right.

A few hours later

Everyone went to IF's apartment to see Y/n. Inside the apartment everyone saw that IF was on the couch while Y/n was nowhere to be seen.

Blanc: where's Y/n?
IF: he... Locked himself in my room... He won't open up.

Everyone went to the door of the room and tried knocking.

Noire: hey... Y/n. Could you let us in?

There was no response. They tried to knock again.

Plutia: please... Just let us talk.
Y/n: ... Go away...
Neptune: Y/n, please... We know that you feel sad... Just let us in and we'll help...

Inside the room Y/n was sitting in a corner and used his Umbrakinesis to surround himself with black vines with thorns.

Y/n: ... Leave...
Compa: we'll stay until we can reach you.

Y/n started to play some music and began to sing.

Y/n:
In front of you, a naked, worthless me with my head down.
My miserable state frightens me.
And trying to hide from your eyes.
I erase you.
I erase you.
Your warm face looking at me silently with a smile comes to me like a cold dagger.
And trying to blind your eyes.
I erase you.
I erase you.
I erase you.
I erase you.
The labyrinth that swallowed you and i lost you there.
In the broken mirror my image is horribly distorted.
In front of you, a naked, worthless me with my head down.
My miserable state frightens me.
And trying to blind your eyes.
I erase you.
I erase you.
I erase you.
I erase you.
The labyrinth that swallowed you and i lost you there.
In the broken mirror my image is horribly distorted.
The labyrinth that swallowed you and i lost you there.
In the broken mirror my image is horribly distorted.

Song ends

Everyone looked at one another and realized that the trauma Y/n went through would not heal soon. Despite having to fight without him for a while, they knew what Y/n would do and say.
He'd make the right choice...
