Red was the first one to wake up before Sans. He sit up and looked at the skeleton sleeping beside him and was surprised 'Classy didn't have nightmares last night!' Red was happy, he is really glad that Classic didn't have nightmares, they slept like a normal monster for once. Red moved closer to examine the other skeletons face, His face is pure white and he didn't have small cracks and scars like Red has. He looks so peaceful, and even calmer when he's sleeping. Red smiled and decided to stand up and stretch but he felt something sharp on his feet. He looked down and his smile completely turned into a frown. His eye lights shrink and went red. He knelt down to pick it up.

'A blade.. I was right! He IS cutting his self! Dammit, dammit dammit!!! He hurt himself like I did before!'

Before Red came to this universe, he was so depressed that he decided to cut himself, but later on he regrets it. He was receiving too many physical pain to his abusive brother that it just made the pain worst.

'Shit! I didn't know how long he's been doing this but I hope Im not too late! Fuck!!! I should have seen this one coming! He was still pretending that nothing is wrong! Dammit Classic, why the h3ll didn't ya tell me that day? No, this is my fault! Its all my fault.. Im sorry Classic..'

Red thought, blaming everything to his self. Tears were threatening to fall but Red wiped it before it happens. He's disappointed in his self, he should have known. He decided to grab the blade and put it on his jackets pockets to throw it later on. He got up and decided that they will talk when they are alone. Red opened and exit Classics room leaving the sleeping skeleton. "AH! GOOD MORNING RED!" Red saw Papyrus making breakfast and sits down on the couch "Mornin', uhh wheres Undyne and Alphys?" Red asks.

"OH, THEY ALREADY WENT BACK TO HOT LAND."
"ohh.."
"YOU ARE UP A LITTLE EARLY TODAY RED, STRANGE"
"Hehe yeah, strange.." Reds thoughts started drifting away, remembering Classics state. Red thought about telling his brother about Classic but decided against it. Classic has this strange bad habit of hiding things from others. Red still don't even know what the nightmares are about because Classic didn't want to tell him! Red sighed, how can he help someone to open up to others? Papyrus noticed this and ask "ARE YOU OKAY RED? YOU SEEMED TROUBLED BY SOMETHING.." Red looked at him and said "Hey paps.. If you have problems or if yer sad, what would you do?" Papyrus looks confused "TELL IT TO SOMEONE OF COURSE. ITS EITHER MY BROTHER, YOU, UNDYNE OR ALPHYS. I SHOULD NOT KEEP MY PROBLEMS ALL TO MYSELF, WHY DID YOU ASK RED?" Papyrus is the opposite of Classic. Did Classic think that telling someone their problems is a weakness? No, that's not it, it's not the same place here. Here you can show love and care and friendship, unlike his place where the three of those are considered a weakness. Then why won't Classic talk to him? Did he not trust him? Is the problem really that big that he didn't know what to do? Ugh, all of this thinking makes his head hurts.
"RED? WHY ARE YOU NOT TALKING?"
"Oh, right! sorry 'bout that, I kinda spaced out a little.."
"ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU ARE OK RED?"
"Yeah, Im just really hungry right now and I just woke up.."
"OH GREAT! THE FOOD IS DONE! WILL YOU PLEASE WAKE SANS UP?"
"Sure" Red got up and went to Classics room again. He grabbed the door knob and took a deep breath, trying to act like he didn't saw anything. If Classic suspected something he might ran away and Red didn't want that to happen. He pushed the door open, went beside him and tapped his shoulders "Hey Classy, wake up!" ..nothing happened.. "Claassyy!! Wake uup!" Classic didn't even moved an inch, still unconscious. Red sighed and thought 'Im not this hard to wake up right?' He took a deep breath and shout "SANS WAKE UP!!" "AHH! Papyrus Im up! Im up.." Classic sit up and rubbed his eye sockets, looking at the skeleton beside him "Im not Papyrus.." Red said, Classic looked at him still a little sleepy "oh.."  "Anyway, Papyrus is down stairs, come on" They went downstairs and sit on the chair "GOOD MORNING BROTHER!" Papyrus greeted happily. Classic let out a yawn  "mornin paps.."

After breakfast, Papyrus left to train and re-arrange his puzzles, still hoping a human would fall, after all they still need 1 soul to break the barrier. Classic and Red stand up and cleaned the table, Classic washing the plates. "Done" Classic said while drying his hands "lets go then" Red said, accidentally grabbed him by his forearm making Classic hiss in pain. Classic realized something 'I forgot to put on the bandage! Shittt!!!'

~Morning: Chapter 18, 9:30 am~

Papyrus went to his older brother's room to wake him up, thinking that he is still asleep "SANS YOU LAZYBONES! WAKE UP!" Papyrus said with his usual loud voice. Classic replied with "Im up Paps, be down there in a sec.." So Papyrus went downstairs and cook breakfast. Classic was awake the whole time, he just finished cutting (again) and just laying on his bed, wide awake, starring at the ceiling. A heavy sigh escaped from his mouth. He stand up and opened the door, 'I feel like Im forgetting something..' Classic just shrug, thinking its just a feeling. He went downstairs and greeted the two skeletons good morning. "FINALLY, WE CAN NOW EAT BREAKFAST" Papyrus said "heh, sorry it took a while.." Classic said while heading to the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of ketchup. "IT'S OK SANS, ANYWAY LET'S EAT!" After they finished eating breakfast a knock was herd from their front door "Papyrus! Sans! Its me open up!"

~Present time~

Red noticed Classic flinched a little "You ok Classy?" Classic gave him a big smile "y-yup! Ya just surprised me a little" Red frowns "Hey, what's with the long face buddy?" Classic asks, completely confused at his reaction. Red sighed and used a shortcut to go to Classics station, he can use a shortcut because he knows the path to the station. "Uhh, what's wrong?" Classic asks "Classic, have you've been cutting?" Red asked starring at Classics eye lights with a very serious voice. Classic flinched looked away with a nervous face, sweating a little. How did he found out?! "Huh? W-what are you talking 'bout buddy? Why would I uhh, cut myself? Hehe I wouldn't do that..." Classic said, looking everywhere but Reds worried, eye lights "Classic, don't lie to me"  "Im not lying!" Red sighed "Classic I found this blade under yer bed!" Red showed  Classic the blade before throwing it on the side. Classics eye lights shrunk "I-I... I don't know how that got there but that isn't mine-" "Then show me yer arm!" "...." Classic looked down and stayed silent, he didn't know what to say, its like he couldn't talk all of the sudden. "Classic, show me your arm.." Red repeated in a softer tone,  "..please, I just wanna help you.." but Classic just stayed silent, still looking at the floor. Red didn't have any choice and forcefully grabbed his arm and push away his jackets sleeve revealing a lot of cuts on his forearm. Some light and some deep ones, some are so deep that they could probably cut his arm. It made Red sad and upset at the same time, sad at Classic's condition and upset at his self. Classic pulled his arm away harshly "DON'T TOUCH ME!" Classic shouted making Red flinch. Red looked at Classics face, his eye sockets full of tears that some already spilled and his right eye sockets are just black and his left eye is flaring a light blue color. Red stared in shock, its the first time he see Classic like this, he looked so broken "You..You don't need to worry 'bout me.. No one should.." and with that, Classic used a short cut to go to a secret place.

Classic sits there, crying his heart out. He's crying so hard that he's gasping for air. In his nightmares, he felt like he was stuck in a cycle, he kept dying and dying and dying. He kept seeing his friends turn into dust over and over again. He hated this cycle. He clench his shirt and attempt to wipe his tears but it just kept pouring out.. 'he found out.. I can't even keep my only secret.. that's how useless I am..' These feelings is just too overwhelming, Classic stood up, still crying, he walks on the edge and sits there, dangling his two feet while starring at the big drop below him. This cliff was so high that when you look down all you can see is darkness... Classic stood up, walking dangerously close to the edge...

"Might as well end it huh..?"

...He closed his eyes...

"Red would just forget about me anyway..."

...He let his body relax...

"..and Im sure Papyrus would move on from his useless brother.."

..He smiled..

"I can finally..."

...And let his body fall.

"..be free"
