"I-I.. DON'T love Vian!" Cod, why did I say that? It's not true. I love him, I really do. Why can't I just tell him? I planned to, but.. he's not acting like himself and it's.. kinda scaring me. I thought we were at least friends, but... the way he yelled says otherwise. I don't blame him if he hates me; I probably broke his heart. But all the same, I don't understand why he said those things.
"I swear I'll cut him..." Pearl muttered. "C-calm down Pearlie. It's okay! I'm fine.." At that moment, I coughed into my hand and felt something. That's strange enough on its own. When I checked what it was, alarm washed over me. The sight mad no sense, but was still chilling all the same.
...
There were petals. Purple flower petals in a pool of blood.
Why? Where did the petals come from? And the blood...
"P-pearlie... I think something is wrong.." I said shakily.
"What's up 'rina?"
"Um... I.."
I held out a trembling hand, and Pearl came over to look. She had the same confusion and panic I felt written all over her face. "I dunno if you're prankin' me 'Rina, but if you are tell me now." she seemed alarmed, but unsure of what was happening
"It's not a prank..."
"..'rina, this.."
[PEARL'S POV]
It's about midnight. Marina's asleep, but I'm still trying to find out about.. whatever happened earlier.
"The hanahaki disease is an illness born from one-sided love in which the victim coughs up petals and flowers." Just like Marina... One-sided love... who could that be?
Wait.. the Urchin?! Really? He was kinda being a jerk earlier, but I didn't think it would literally kill her! What I did next was reckless and would probably make things worse, but I was just so angry and scared... Marina is like my sister. I love her, and this stupid sea urchin wants to come along and kill her? I
I couldn't handle it...
I went to go find Vian, against Marina's wishes.
(BONUS: no shoes in the void, VIAN)
Vian: *materializes in the void*
Red: Who are you and why are you here
Vian: . . .
Red: I ASKED YOU A QUESTION-_-
Vian: I don't know why the heck I'm here
Red: oh.
Vian:

Vian:
Red: ...can you leave
Vian: I don't think so...
Red: So we're stuck with you then?
Vian: I guess so?
Red:
Vian:
Red: we have a no shoes rule in the void
Fuu: Yeah! *is in socks*
Vian: why?
Fuu: I don't know, Red decided it was necessary even though there's no floors to make dirty
Red: A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE WEARS SHOES INSIDE IS A WORLD I REFUSE TO LIVE IN!
Fuu: we're not inside anywhere
Red, to a confused and scared Vian: just take off your shoes please. LET THEM BECOME ONE WITH THE VOID
Fuu: Cod dammit Red...
