Secrets, starvation, heartbreak and torture! After Two arrived, it was just seemingly them trying to take over Fours show and contestants... some being persuaded, some being pushed away from the idea.. some sided with Four and some didn't... But nobody thought it would go like this. --- Themes of gore and suicide, be warned.

Four is worried about X. X is worried about manifesting an old secret. [ this fic was written before any of the other algebraliens personalities were revealed, so all of the numbers except 4, x, and 2, are going to be different characters from the ones in the shorts ] [ cover art by me ] [ warning: character death ] [elements of 4/2 and light 4x will be prominent in this fic. be wary of that while reading if you aren't comfortable with those pairings]
