maybe! it has been a while. you know, the last time we talked, i specifically recall us saying we should talk more often and not vanish again. we’re both filthy liars. i’m ashamed--just of me, of course. i’m not gonna be ashamed of you.  the other day i slept...almost 24 hours. i think my body went into deep shock with how much sleep i got compared to how little i usually get. don’t scold me for that either, you know i’m busy. it feels a little better today, i’ve been chugging bottles of water. but it doesn’t feel 100%. is there an expensive fee for you to take care of me? i’d prefer to save as much money as i can to fuel my ramyeon addiction.

...Is it...today...?

 it’s eridan. his usual happy composure is thrown away and is replaced with one of worry. she can feel his hand hold onto her free hand desperately as he whispers to her. her tears are falling slower this time as if time was stopping for her. she’s slipping away while he’s crying out to anyone to save her and she uses the last of her energy to whisper to him, not knowing if he’ll be able to hear her. she’s glad that he was the one to be by her side. penelope just wishes that she could of been by his side just for a little while more."thank you."
