~Everything about you is so terrible~
Y/N is simply... average. She doesn't mind it, really. I mean, who's she trying to impress? Sure, her life isn't anything perfect, but whatever. It is what it is. She had no interest in becoming popular, but my...

"Man, I'm beat," Y/N grumbles aloud while rubbing her wrist, which felt a bit sore after her meet with the bowling club earlier. Now, she was walking home with SQUIP by her side, but as exhausted as she was with all the socializing and playing a few rounds, she was happy. It was a lot of fun being a part of a group, and she was even starting to make friends with some of the other members of the club — With SQUIP's help, of course. Where ever would she be without that smart-ass pill? The blue-skinned male held a smug look on his face that, Y/N nudged him for, knowing he only makes that face whenever she compliments him indirectly. No one was around to witness it, so he didn't mind the action, even allowed her to touch him, rather than let her fall right through.
'It was a lot of fun, though. Thanks for the suggestion.' She would've never joined the club if it weren't for him.
"But, of course. I only make suggestions that'll be beneficial for your future."
'Obviously.' He was about to retort to her smart remark when suddenly he stopped moving, frozen completely with shocked eyes and an otherwise flat expression. Confused and worried that he had glitched out on her or something, the girl turns to him and waves a hand in front of his face.
'Yo, SQUIP, you good?' He didn't respond right away. It took him a few seconds before he fell out of his paralyzed state. His shoulders slouched and a small frown touched his lips as he stared into her worried eyes. Y/N drops her hand and slightly tilts her head. He's never made that face before.
'Is everything okay?'
"... Yes, I'm fine." His momentary pause made her wonder as he cleared his throat and changed the subject while walking around her. "We should get home. It's been a long day."
'All right, then.' She was a little unsure if she should drop it, but followed his lead all the way back to the house. She was relieved to be home and couldn't wait to crash on the bed for a nice, long nap. However, the atmosphere changed upon entering. Y/N could hear sounds of faint sobbing coming from the kitchen and looked towards there, then to SQUIP with a brow raised. He stared at the kitchen as well, that same frown tilting his lips.
"Go see," he instructs, and she doesn't hesitate. Once in the doorway, the table became visible, and she could see her dad sitting there, on a chair, head in his hands and crying his eyes out. The sight made her heart drop. Leaving SQUIP to stand and observe, she comes to the man's side.
"Dad, are you okay? What's going on? Why are you crying?" F/N jumped at the sound of his daughter's voice and felt a lump in his throat as he turned to her with teary eyes. Abruptly, he stood up and pulled her into a tight hug before sobbing on her shoulder. He couldn't bring himself to speak right away as her hands raised to his back, and a mix of worry and confusion crossed her features. "Dad, what happened? Tell me."
