Y/N woke up the next morning, no dreams or nightmares. She genuinely had some rest and sleep. Ranger was gone by the next morning. Didn't know he had it in him to leave her so carefully and quietly. She also had the comforter slumped over her. How considerate of him ... Y/N started to giggle at the thought of Ranger carefully tucking her in bed before leaving. She went on with her day as usual, helping others complete the attractions and gaining a few stickers for herself. She even went on to investigate further inside the room behind the mirror in hopes of getting some kind of clue on how to fix Ranger.

While she was investigating, she suddenly felt anger swell up in her heart. She was angry at the creators, the very being that made Ranger the way he is. The personality they made for such an innocent-looking doll. They could've just used him for a better job, but instead they went ahead and made him a sadist to further entertain the death game. Just who ... is behind this?! She then looked at the dolls of the deceased. Mishima ... Kai ... Joe ... ... she will avenge them. She will find out the truth behind all of this and aid the others to their escape. Their deaths shouldn't be in vain.

She gave a firm nod. They all will survive this! All she has to do is ... get a new alliance. A powerful one at that. She wasn't sure if Safalin was on their side, but she should probably start with Ranger first. (Not because she likes him or anything. Totally.)

Once it has reached nighttime, she laid on her bed staring at the wall. She remembered the surprising warmth coming from Ranger from the night before. Like he was actually human, but of course, he isn't because of how inhumanly stiff he is. She rolled around the bed, trying to get some sleep. Man, if Ranger visited her again and cuddle with her that would be real great. She blushed at the thought. "You're a freak, Y/N ..." she mumbled to herself, pulling the blanket over her face.

"Ranger ..." she groaned and tossed the blankets. "Ranger!" she impatiently yelled.

"Is there something you need, Y/N? Can't sleep again, huuh?" a sudden second party's voice could be heard from ... somewhere. She looked around to search for the owner's voice, "Ranger? You here?" she jumped off the bed and searched every inch of the room. She then felt a tap on her shoulders. "Eep!" She yelped, turning around immediately, eyes wide. "Ranger!" she smiled, much to Ranger's surprise. She then got closer to hug him. "I knew you'd come! I didn't see you for the whole day today! It got me so worried!" she giggled. Ranger remained quiet, obviously shocked by the sudden gesture. He looked at her happy face and somehow ... felt something. He didn't know why, was this girl just messing with him? But somehow he couldn't deny how genuine Y/N is expressing her feelings to him like this. Somehow ... he felt like he wanted more and more.

Y/N stared up at Ranger, and stepped back. She must've made the poor doll uncomfortable. "Whoops! S-sorry, Ranger ... I was just excited ..." she laughed lightly. "Now that you're here I—" she didn't even finish her sentence before Ranger got close to her and hugged her again. She was confused. Was this payback? She has been shocking Ranger a lot after all ...

She tilted her head, trying to look at Ranger's face, but she couldn't because of how tight he's holding her right now. Y/N started to realise the situation. Ranger hugged her. Willingly. Does that mean she did something to change his mindset? Might as well play along if she's actually doing some changes. She smiled and hugged him back, even more tighter. "Ranger ... you know, you're the reason why I don't sleep at night. I don't see you as a killing machine, which you probably are but ... ... I want to get to know you better. I want to know who you are behind this decoded personality. I want to be ... friends. I want to help you, Ranger ... please let me." she buried her face inside Ranger's soft clothes. Ranger remained quiet, but then ...

"I don't understand. I don't understand." Ranger spoke, prying away from the hug. "What have you done to me?!" he held his face and kneeled on the floor. Y/N crouched down and held him in worry, "Ranger? Are you okay?!" she tried rubbing his back, but Ranger avoided any contact. "No, no ... What's happening to me? Father?" with every word that comes out of Ranger's mouth, she became even more confused. "Love ... friends ... what do those mean?" He mumbled to himself. Y/N shifted closer and find that Ranger was ... crying. Y/N became even more worried ... she didn't even care about the fact that a doll is crying. She wanted nothing more of him than to just stop crying. "Ranger? What's going on? Tell me, please ..."

"Friends." He looked at her. "Why do you want to be friends with me? What does that even mean?" He grabbed her shoulders. "What have you done to me? What did you do to my chip?" he demanded an answer. Y/N shrunk as he basically cornered her. "I-I haven't done anything! I swear!" she answered. Which was, in fact, the truth. Y/N became even more puzzled, as his eyes started to have broken TV screens flashing every now and then through his tears. He leaned his head on her shoulders, slowly punching her arms. Y/N didn't know what to do, so she just awkwardly hugged him. "I don't know what I did to you but ... when I said I wanted to be friends with you, I meant that I ... care for you. I want you to be happy. I don't want you to support this game. I want you to know what you're doing is wrong. I want you to live, Ranger. And if possible, I want to be there for you. Make you happy ... y'know?" she gave him her biggest smile.

"Live?" he looked down at her. Her smile was too bright for him, but he ... also felt the same. "Yes, Ranger. Please, let's get out of here together with the others, maybe then, you'll finally be happy." she spoke in the softest voice, tugging more at Ranger's nonexistent heart strings. He nodded, which made Y/N's eyes lit up.

A/N: another pretty short one, I apologise in advance. I hope this is enough to satisfy your Ranger needs. He's also pretty OOC here, to which I, again, apologise OTL
