Grudge Disorder

Author's Note:
This story was written for the main purpose of sharing and explaining my mindset and feelings through symbolism of scenes and interactions to others. (It's a cry for help.) Goggles and Rider symbolize two halves of me in this story. My own experiences dealing with depression have been added into parts of this story. It's neat to have real life references here, as some interactions have actually just been re-written here because they have helped me before.
Goggles's thought process mimics my own in these scenarios, and Rider symbolizes the care and comfort that other peers probably would have given me in those moments, but because I never talked about most of these thoughts or feelings to others in the moment, I didn't have this care and comfort from other peers. Instead, I visualize the scenarios present in the story, and write them down so that when I feel the same way again, I can just re-read said scenario and it really does help me feel better. This story is more of a tool for myself, but also hopefully a better way to have others understand how I'm really feeling even when I don't talk about it.
I want to make it clear that the caring relationship between Goggles and Rider is not meant to be suggestive. I think of it more as the caring bond between a mother and her child. It makes sense when you think that Rider symbolizes that "mother" that was perhaps absent in the moment of a sad experience. (I'm not calling Rider Goggles's mother.)
This story still follows the events of the first two stories in the Grudge series, except this story did not come from a role-play.

DISCLAIMER: This is a fanfiction of the Splatoon CoroCoro manga by Sankichi Hinodeya. I do not own these characters nor do I encourage the sad/violent actions in this story. These events do not happen or relate to the real characters or the real manga. There is swearing, depression, minor gore, and very minor head canons. Some events may be sensitive to some readers.
