Repairing Our Relationship

Sorry for not updating, you can thank my nonexistent motivation for that.

NK POV

It's been a month since Russia and Soviet went missing. Turns out, those two disappearing is what finally made things change.

A day after their kidnapping, Russia's siblings told UN that their mother was Afghanistan, and that Soviet had divorced her a long time ago since she was abusive to all of them. After word about that got out, Afghanistan disappeared; she most likely went into hiding. UN and the other organisations have went to her house and took everything inside, and have barricaded her house off from everything else.

The school also shut down. About time. The principle said he had been trying to get the board to allow him to shut it down since the very first kidnapping, which was a while ago.

The school board sucks.

Anyways, no one is comfortable outside anymore. Whenever someone does go outside, they always rush to do what they need to do, often speed-walking or running to their destination and back. Everyone, even countries that prefer to be social in person, almost never leave their house.

Taiwan's banned China from leaving the house unless he's with him, and China had no problem with that. In fact, I expected Taiwan to do that. He and China may not have the best brotherly relationship, but he still wants China to be safe and loves him.

South has had me do something similar with him. I know he wants me to move in with him but a lot of countries are against that and he doesn't know if I'll accept. I will, but I just don't know how to ask him so I'll wait until he asks me.

That's a dumb plan but oh well.

Anyways, whenever I wanna go somewhere I have to ask South to come with me. He always agrees, but when he's busy he has someone else like UN or EU look after me.

This isn't just between South and I and the Chinese brothers. A lot of other countries with loved ones and friends who live nearby are doing this, too. Countries who don't have someone escort them just rush to their destination and back.

Everyone's also really suspicious of one another. Countries only trust their families and very close friends, everyone else to them is an enemy, even friends they weren't that close with. Almost everyone carries a weapon when they go outside as well, and some have moved in with others.

So, yeah, that's how everyone acts, now. UN has also stopped calling meetings, instead texting in the group chat with everyone in it. He's been a bit quiet, lately, so I assume he's nervous as well.

I'll admit, knowing UN's nervous makes me scared. About everyone looks up to him whenever we're in tough situations, and knowing that he's nervous - maybe even scared - and doesn't know what's happening makes the situation at hand even scarier.

The only good news that's come out of this month - other than school getting shut down - is that Panama and his friends have stopped bullying me. At one point, even, Greece escorted me home when South and I lost each other while Turkey went to find my brother.

Oh...and also...more countries have disappeared...

Finland and Martial Law had gone missing when running an errand, while America was attacked when his family accidently left him home alone.

Ever since Soviet was announced missing, Third Reich was immediately taken to live with Italy and Japan at Japan's house. While he's been there, I heard that he would often space out, ignore his friends, utter nonsense in German, and curl up and cry randomly.
