I woke up and again, felt an au being destroyed. I teleported to the au and saw...'I gotta think of a nickname for him... A-ha! Glitchy! It's perfect since he glitches like that.' "hey Glitchy!" I called out to him. He turned around and said "weellllll isn't it the soulless freak!" he attacked me with no mercy. I dodged easily, "I guess it's my turn now!" I attacked him back, he learned to dodge I'm assuming. He shot his strings at me and tightened them around me. I panicked and puked black ink everywhere. He stopped what he was doing. He looked at me then laughed "hahahahaa you squid that was hilarious!" I laughed too. I continued laughing until I realized he stopped. He just stared at me with a.. What seemed to be a confused face. "Glitchy, you OK?" I asked him. He looked at me directly in the eyes. Then he reported away.

I finally got a hold of them. I squeezed them tighter and tighter with my strings. Then they puked. I laughed at them and called them squid. They laughed with me. 'Wait... They.. They are laughing? After that name I called them? But why?' they stopped laughing. They questioned whether I was ok or not. I couldn't respond. I didn't understand why they laughed at that. I needed to leave. So I did. I went back to what I called home. I sat down to think. Each time in my head repeat track of everything they ever said. It must be something, I feel something. It's nothing so I just go back to bed. No undernovela.
It's time to dream. But I can't, I can't sleep something is forcing me out I can't understand what though and it gets me mad. I hit myself repeatedly to get the feeling out of me. Then I heard a familiar voice. "oh don't beat yourself up!" they, the colorful nightmare said. They were concerned. "Where'd ya go? They all think I know. But I don't. I asked around no-one cared. You see, I was looking for you to tell you to apologize. I mean I'm sorry. Ugh... Guess what I mean to say is... I don't know what happened back there but I could tell something was up. Please if I did something wrong I'm extremely sorry! You don't deserve to be hurt like that." Squid started crying. I got up and stood in front of them. I paused gathering what courage I had and patted there head "there there Squid. It'll be alright. No need to cry you know?" they giggled a little, "Squid? That's my nickname right? I love it!!" they gave the biggest, happiest smile I've ever seen. It felt..magical to see. "oh wait, you don't even know my real name...its Ink." I scoffed and crossed my arms "no duh, you literally puked ink up earlier. I'm.... Error." they repeated my name "error? That's such a nice name! I think I'll love being friends with you." I was confused "but I thought we were enemies?" they shook their head then fell to the ground. They were laying on their back looking up at nothing. I copied them. We both stared at the ceiling for a while. I turned to look at them and they were asleep. He looked so peaceful. So quiet. So cu- nopenopenope error you two are just going to be friends. For some reason. I'm not sure why. What makes him think I'm so special? Guess I'll find out some other time. I covered him up and laid down next to him. I watched him sleep for a little while until I too, fell into the hands of dreams and nightmares.
