"Eat."

Four put the plate in front of Error, who raised his eyebrows. "That looks good."

"It's noodles and vegetables. It's not that exciting."

"It's a stir fry, Four."

"Noodles and vegetables."

"Oh, is that chicken?"

"Yeah."

"It's a stir fry," Error said quietly, taking the fork and trying a mouthful, "And a really good one. Thank you." His thanks was acknowledged with a nod from the other.

"You need to start looking after yourself," Four sighed, taking a glass and that whiskey from the cupboard, "I know you have other things on your mind, but you've got a bad habit of completely neglecting yourself."

Error finished his mouthful and replied, "I don't."

"You do, though. That's a fact."

The younger didn't respond, looking down in shame.

"What did you want to talk about, anyway?" Four asked, pouring himself a drink.

"Dream."

"Go ahead." Four took a small sip and then turned to Error as if to let him know he had his full attention. But the eye contact made Error uncomfortable. He stopped eating, dropping his fork into the noodles.

"What are you going to do with him?"

Four looked at him in confusion. "What?"

"Dream. He passed every test except for Negativity."

"He just makes a good God. I don't think we're planning to do anything special with him." He looked at Error, his voice seemingly genuine.

"I know you have every right to lie to me, or withhold any information, but... I just... I read it. And once or twice the author used the word 'ascension.' And I don't know what that means for him."

"Ascension?" Four paused, narrowing his eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about. Genuinely. Can you show me the file?"

"It's at home."

"Well, we can get it in a while. If you're done with it, I need it back as soon as possible, anyway."

"I..."

"Did you find your own results?"

"...No."

He paused for a longer period this time. "What did the file show? A table?"

"No. It was just some stuff about Dream."

"Oh. I gave you the wrong thing, then."

"Yeah, I noticed."

"I wanna see that."

"I... Can I give it to you tomorrow?" 

"Sure, but I still want to see it today."

Error clicked his tongue. "I don't think I can... show it to you today..."

"Error, what's going on?"

"I don't... I don't have the file right now..."

Four's mouth fell open ever so slightly, and his eyes widened. "Oh, Error, you didn't show Glitch..."

"I'm really, really sorry, I-"

"Error!" Four cried, slamming his hand on the table, "I tried to help you!"
