CatNap's friends all disappeared without a trace. He keeps on looking for answers on their whereabouts, but it all leads to nowhere. Occasionally, CatNap thinks that he hears their voices, it's all in his head. Thirteen years after their disappearance, CatNap swears that he can hear their voices more clearly. After DogDay's death in the factory, he returns to the cartoon world and sees all of his friends but a certain purple cat is missing. Good riddance. (In this au, all of the critters minus CatNap are forced to go into the factory. They come back 13 years later to find a difference in their cartoon world. The cartoon version of the Smiling Critters are AI programs for the bigger bodies project. They get mixed in with the souls but get separated once they die, meaning that the Smiling Critters go back to their world with the memories of the real world while the souls just disappear.) ⚠️Warning!⚠️ This fanfic includes gore, mental health issues, addictions, death, and abandonment issues
