Bug sat perched upon a branch, silently fidgeting with the double piston she was given as a weapon. Initially it'd been quite heavy and hard to drag around, and Bug could barely make her way towards The Land of Spheres while dragging it around (at some point she’d debated just ditching it)- but some of the corrupts around here were quite kind when she’d first gotten here, and were able to figure out how to sheath it, in a way. Simply push the ends together.

Bug smiled to herself as she recalled the name of the corrupt who’d figured it out for her: Oracle, she’d been told. The kid couldn’t talk, but she sure was smart!

It was a little strange, having people be nice to her lately… But it was… Nice.

Wondering how Oracle was doing, Bug— hey, wait!

Flashes followed by a pink trail of octagrams entered Bug’s sight, and she dropped from the branch.

“Cyanide!” She called out.

A robotic squeak reached her ears, and a robotic diamond soon came dashing towards her. Bug had almost no time to brace herself before she was crashed into at full speed- she was nearly knocked over by the force, but she managed to keep herself and the diamond upright.

“Hey!” Bug squeaked out playfully, “watch it!”

Then, she paused as she noticed Cyanide’s expression. Why- why did she look so… Why- huh?

“Hey- are you… Okay?”

—

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU’RE LEAVING-?!” Bug cried, her eyes wide as she stared at Cyanide, completely flabbergasted.

“I must go be the Hero I was meant to be. :(“ Cyanide replied. Her voice was quiet, and her gaze was locked onto the ground.

Bug felt her heart shatter. Cyanide- no, no, she couldn’t be. Right-?! This was some kinda prank or somethin’- it HAD to be!

“But- but what about me?!” Bug protested. “What about us?! I thought we were sisters!”

“We are sisters!” Cyanide yelped, finally looking up at Bug. She looked a little panicked upon Bug saying that, like she thought she’d accidentally implied otherwise. “Circusic said that–”

“Circubit doesn’t know shit!” Bug shot back, “he doesn’t play by the rules! He doesn’t follow Boss’s orders! All he does is go off and do his own thing! He doesn’t know anything! He—” Bug felt her heart drop. She’d snapped at Cyanide- she hadn’t meant to do that.

Silence.

“...I believed you would understand…”

“I- I do, but I-”

“Then let me go to be a Hero. TmT”

“It is hurting me as much as it is hurting you..."

“...”

“Bug?”

“…Then go.” Bug could feel her voice breaking. “Go be the Hero you are meant to be.” She knew it sounded a bit begrudging- but it was genuine. If Cyanide wanted to go with the pures- she couldn’t stop her. She wouldn’t stop her. She just…

She wished she could stay.

She looked up at Cyanide. “Just please be alright. Do not let them hurt you. Okay? I swear to fucking god if they hurt you—”

“I will be ok! <:)” Cyanide squeaked, a reassuring yet embarrassed-that-Bug-was-being-so-protective expression on her screen.

A veil of silence fell over them, before Bug pulled Cyanide into a hug. She knew Cyanide couldn’t hug back. But she also knew that if she could, she definitely would.

Fuck.

She pulled away. “Please, stay safe. Who knows- I might come join you.”

Cyanide nodded and gave her one last look, then dashed away into the distance.

“I might come join you…” Bug repeated to herself.

That was a lie and she knew it.
