“ I'm not sad but I'll cry. ”

Samuel Lerner.. one of the workers in the torappu theater.. he lives in the void created by him.

Being there once out of boredom he began to create codes different codes different combinations and commands at one point he broke something and in his hands on which there were codes a body began to slowly appear a very miniature body lay in his palms he was careful and afraid to move the body looked very fragile and the body began to become more understandable and the black and green colors began to disappear yellow and blue colors appeared the body slept all this time and did not wake up but Sam understood that apparently it was not dead it was alive but not conscious and when the body began to look like something close to a person it woke up..

Small a little larger than his ring finger the blue side had a dissatisfied face but the yellow one was interested I don’t know how but Sam understood one thing..these were two different people in one body but relatives the blue side looked like a small gloomy boy and yellow side like a sweet kind girl.

They grew up quickly, which surprised both Sam and he himself had not remembered for a long time that

City was a boy before since she began to change her appearance to a more feminine one very early, although she still had male body features, and her voice was quite low for a woman.

But one day their quiet life broke down [by the way, all this time LiaCity grew up and lived in emptiness so that they did not see the outside world and yes, when they first appeared and began to live, Lucy was not yet there, more about this later].

After one was deprived of the left eye and the other of the right hand, they both lay on the floor in emptiness in complete despair and fire since it was painful and City, having lost a lot of blood, began to slowly lose consciousness and get tired. Lia had already completely despaired, but suddenly she felt a bright light from behind her.. hope? Sam forgot to close the exit from the void! Lia carefully waited for the exit, but it was too high, and she was exhausted to get out.

Tick tock, tick tock, it felt like an eternity, an eternity that will never end, an eternity that I hold, loops that always stab like the first time, I'm tired, I'm so tired, all I want is to sit and relax, tell him that everything is gonna be okay like he is with me like nothing happened.

I want to rest, when will this end? When will we be put to rest? I don't know, I will never know

"Ena?" I gasped and sat up, putting a hand to my chest and breathing fast, who?! Who's- oh. DanBoe, great! Amazing. "W-what? What are YOU doing here" I sniffled and wiped my face, turning to them with a serious expression "Are you okay?"

....

-"Stop the n-nonsense what do you want"

-"She said: Are YOU okay?"

-"Of course i am! Do you think I'm a crybaby?!"

-"Yea-

-"Of course not! Dan, dear, be nice!"

Bon shushed him and they turned to me again "We're worried about you" she started "I know we both never had a good relationship but...I just want you to know that...it doesn't always have to be like that" We don't...have to be?

... "Ena?" ... "Ena!" .... "ENA!" I flinch, looking at them again "Ena, your freaking us out, please, are you okay?" ... "Do I look okay?" They just fall silent, i guess I wasn't the only one realizing... thing's didn't had to be like this, things didn't HAD to stay like this...does that mean- "No..." All i could mutter out was that

"Ena, Darling, let's get you cleaned up, okay? P-please" she sounded...worried about me, why would she be? "aren't we....s-supposed to..h-..ha..." I take a deep breath in and out, putting a hand on the gem on my chest "H-hate... each other...?" I put my hand on the mirror stand and turn the movable chair to glance at DanBoe, they must read something unusual from my face and words cause their face was so..... worried?

"Of course, we don't have to!" Dan said, putting an arm on my shoulder "We don't have to hate each other's guts to death! Yeah, we can't get along but it doesn't mean it'll last forever!" He shook me a little before hugging me tightly.

I just stood there, I couldn't e en read my own expression, I knew things could change but I never knew...it could change...this much, this person I hated their guts to death cared about me, even hugged me and I just felt so safe, I close my eyes and hug DanBoe back, my thoughts felt just blank as a paper, it just felt like I was a whole other person.

-"Come on.."

-"What...?"

-"Let's clean you up kid..okay?"

I paused for a while, not letting go of them "Please...a few more minutes.." I just gave in, hugging them tightly as I broke into tears, they must have noticed it, I felt them hug me tightly, caressing my back. Why did they care so much? Why do I suddenly feel so safe in this...clown's arms?

"I won't let go of you, but let's get you cleaned up, okay?" She smiled and kissed my cheek for some reason, I think that's affection or something I don't know.

DanBoe helped me get up and walked me out of the dressing room, I felt weirdly safe, even if the other performers looked at us in confusion, I had no intention of letting go of this clown, so I just looked down at my 'feet' as I walked, letting them stare at me "Everything is gonna be okay, darling" I looked up as boe said that to me, I didn't know how to respond, so I just smiled a little, then my expression dropped again,

We have a staircase going down between the dressing room and the break room, the walls down there had clouds painted over them along with more dull colours for the floors and ceilings, mostly dull blue, I like being here, it rests my eyes, such a shame there's not stools or chairs here.

We walked down the small hallway and reached three doors, one with pink, one with purple and one with blue, I think you can guess what were those supposed to mean, if you don't, your an idiot, its bathroom signs! Ugh, anyway.

They looked at eachother, somehow;

-"Should I uh, go?"

-"I think it's the best choice, go upstairs for us please, look after Hana, please dear"

-"Oh of course love!"

They let go of me and with the blink of an eye, the two were separated again, I just remained silent as they discussed something before Boe waved bye at Dan and turned to me "Let go in, alright? You can tell me everything while we clean you up" she offered her hand, walking me to the woman's bathroom, closing the door and walking me inside and placing me front of a mirror.

I looked absolutely horrible, it's been so eventful I didn't even notice

-"You look so bonita!"

-"Bonita..?"

-"I heard it means beautiful, I know you think the opposite, probably, but remember darling: life may not be the kindest, but it can't ruin you forever"

-"That's such a basic line, I know that"

-"Not everyone is fancy, darling, it is important to face the bigger picture and take a step back from everything "

-"It's not that simple."

-"But it can be"

She smiled and opened the tap water, it's been so long since I even saw water, so I found myself taken back by the reminder of its existence, however, she put some in her palm and splashed it onto my face "AAH!" I flinched, yet I realized it wasn't a big deal, she just chuckled at my flinch "Calm down, relax, it's okay! I promise I'll be gentle this time!" She soaks her hands and wipes away my face, in the process, I muffle weird noises as she does, I feel like a wet dog, which is pathetic of me

"Ough+- eugh, stop it!" I pushed her hand away from my face, and she responded with a scoff and giggle "You need to relax more, you can wash your face, okay?" She gave a supportive pat on my back and let me be "O-okay" I mutter, stepping to the sink and flowing water, I close my eyes, fill my hand with water and splash and rub my face with the cold, refreshing water, after I was done, I felt so...great, I took a long sigh before closing the water, I looked up to the mirror and see boe smiling warmly to me "you did so great, im so proud of you!" She clapped as i took a couple deep breaths and turn to her

"Now w-what?" I feel myself getting rather...closed, which is not really what I actually am, but now I am just stuttering like a shy child, it's probably what she thinks I am now, isn't it? Pathetic and shy, even if she said she was proud of me, I felt... hesitant about her claim "Now I'll comb your hair okay? Would you like me to?" Boe rook a hand to my hair and ruffled it a little, i just pushed her hand away "Okay...f-fine, fine, but a-after- after this, D-Don't tell this to anyone" i said stubbornly, i was NOT gonna let the performers make fun of me cause of- of...nevermind.

-"I promise, i won't tell anyone"

-"Thank...you"

-"Oh darling! Your welcome!"

I found myself smiling and chuckling at her response "Your t-too kind" I giggle along with her "Oh the pleasure is mine! Let me help you with your hair, okay? If you want to talk to me during that, please do dear, I'm all ears for you, okay?

"Okay.." I smiled before turning around, to my surprise, she took out a comb from her sleeve "How did you get that?" I ask in surprise "Every magician has their little secrets!"

She chuckled before starting to comb my hair, it felt so....safe why did it feel so safe? I guess she isn't too bad...nor her husband.

As the cheering of the audience does down, the side of his face breaks completely, the manager drops him down from.his hand "EDDD!" the player shouts, gliding to Edd's falling body but can't reach to him as he fell in his face, the loud sound of glass breaking filled the mannequin room.

"Oh you thought you could win this that easily?" The manager chuckled, the room flicker's as the real manager walks up to them, the sound of wood tapping approaching them "You were useless as him" he started "There was no use in this battle, yet you try and win, even if you had 0 chance" he scoffs and claps his hands "You Human's are really desperate, aren't you?" It giggles softly, walking around the two

-"No, no! No no no no no! Please! Edd! Eddward?! Eddie! Please! Answer me! Wake up! PLEASE!"

-"no use my friend, he is gone"

-"NO! HE ISN'T! EDWARD, EDWARD P-PLEASE, DON'T DO THIS TO ME! EDWARD!"

"EDWARD!!!!!!"

You breathed heavily, couldn't help bit tear up after his lifeless body, REFUSING to accept death, cause why would he? He is not supposed to! He can't be, h-he can't! He just can't, there has to be a way.

You flip his body and look at his horribly broken and distorted face, cracker face, his blood going down from his eyes and pretty much everywhere, your hands drip with blood, you feel yourself breathing heavily as you choke and sob, begging for a sign of life, a chance, a chance to retry

"Its hopeless" you tilted your head up to see manager standing front of you, uncaring for your break down "You lost your chance since you came here" he leans down to look at your face "You are so useless aren't you? You never understand sometimes you just can't win." He started giggling manically, standing up again as his laughter turns loud and Maniacal, echoing through the room.

You feel yourself breathing so fast, it felt like your heart was gonna get out of your mouth, your eyes watched it laugh as you holded the broken corpse In your arm's, everything felt so unreal as you look down at Edd again, his unmoving expression sinks into your head, filling you with many emotions, anger, depression, desperation and panicked.

- "No"

- "Oh you're HILARIOUS! Its so fun testing you!"

- "NO! NO NO NO NO NO! NO!!!!!"

your vision gets blurred with tears as you drop edd from your arms, take out the broken glass shard you took and glide to the manager full speed, stabbing him on the chest over and over and over again, screaming and sobbing loud as you could

This can't be it, who does it think it is?! WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT ARE YOU?! You don't DESERVE ANYTHING WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?! STOP LAUGHING, STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP.

"Are you done?" You feel yourself freeze as he says it..why? What? What's happening?! This was supposed to work! This was supposed to WORK! "you can't kill me, you know?" He just- SMIRKED?! HOW DARE YOU?!

- "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!"

- "Seriously? SHUT YOURSELF!"

The manager pushes you off and takes off the glass shard from his damaged chest "do you know how much these mannequin's cost?!" He scolded you "You're lucky i am not gonna charge you anything for this. You can go do your little breakdown somewhere else. This is a theater not a fight club."

You sniffles and wipe your eyes tears and desperation away "y-you c... could've taken ME! you just- you ca-" you sigh loudly, sniffling "You are A MONSTER!" you yell, pointing to him and choking in tears between words "You just do EVERYTHING you like and toy with people!"

......

He just looks at you with unamused eyes "Now you figured out?" It crosses arms "You had a whole run.." he walks torwards you, towering you with annoyance "After everything you did, you still think they forget? After every night you slept, you think your an angel?" He reminded you with stabbing words as your eyes widen, he is right...after everything you did, how do you expect forgiveness?

Maybe if you were less selfish, things could've have been better! Edd could've live! Now you can just glance at his corpse on the ground, reminding you of your mistakes "You are the worst thing a person can do" he smiles. "Maybe you could've done things differently and not for the sake of earning some stupid achievement!" It pokes your chest, his eyes filled with annoyance "You never should've exist."

"You never should've exist"

"You never should've exist"

"You never should've exist"

That's not right, that shouldn't be right, you deserved.to exist, you do!..do we? Maybe he is right? Maybe it isn't.... I don't know i don't know.
