The evil brother in the red helmet sighed sadly as he watched the sunset from across the shopping district while sitting on a tree. 

All the time EX spent in the void really has given him time to think about his actions. He has changed, but now that he's been brought back on the server, he's reconsidering the change he went through.

Last Sunday, X has let EX back on the server, since he promised X he had changed. But of course, almost none of the other hermits believed this, and almost none accepted him. Most of the hermits didn't trust him or didn't even talked to him, some even pretended he didn't exist. But there are also hermits who were willing to be friends with him, most notably the newest hermit, Grian, and his older brother, Xisuma. Some other hermits are cool with him as well, but most stay away from him, and it makes EX feel lonely at most times.

The sun setting quickly turned into the sun dawning as the message BdoubleO100 went to sleep  appeared in the chat. With another sigh, EX stood up and jumped down from the tree. And then, he heard a familiar voice call his name, and he turns to sees the gremlin in the dark red sweater that everyone loves, Grian.

"Hey, EX! why the long face?" Grian asked, waving at him while approaching.

"It's nothing much." EX stated.

"You look sad though, is something wrong?" 

"I told you, it's nothing much."

"Is it really nothing much though? It sounds like a lot much more." Grian persistently kept asking.

EX knew Grian isn't going to give up anytime soon, "fine, maybe I'm just feeling a bit... under the weather. It's nothing for you to worry about." EX sighed.

"Why though? Did something happen?"

"..."

"aw come on, EXy, you can tell me. Besides, I'm pretty good with dealing with this type of stuff." Grian huffed with his arms crossed.

EX rolled his eyes, "oh fine, fine." he gave up.

"That's great! now follow me." Grian said dragging EX's arm.

"wha-"

They went to the Barge, or more precisely, Grian dragged Ex to the Barge. After they were inside. Grian turned to him, "so, what's up? What's wrong?".

EX thought about it, "well... ever since I came to the server last week, everyone's been avoiding me. Almost nobody talks to me... and I sometimes feel... really lonely. It almost feels like the entire world is against me sometimes... Everyone hates me for what I've done, I'm always alone now... I don't deserve to exist."

Tears started forming near EX's eyes as he spoke, Grian realized this and comforted him, "It's okay, EX, I'll always be your friend if you need me. The others don't hate you, they just don't trust you yet, you know why. they'll eventually warm up to you. I promise. Now, breathe." He said with a sad smile.
