A continuation of this post. After Caine appologises and the others are willing to forgive (with time).

... Listen. I knew he would be back. There was no WAY they were gonna have him completely erased. The way I gasped when he was revealed around that corner of The Circus. And watching his segment and character growth... I'm so so proud of him (,,╥﹏╥,,)

And now... I have fuel for ANGST ψ(๑`꒳´๑)ψ

I have so many things I wanna draw as a result. Stay tuned; more to come ♡

Part 2/3.5 (Link to Part 1 and Part 3)

(≖⩊≖)

I promise I'll explain everything soon enough ♡

It's kinda just hitting me now that the Finale is tomorrow. I've been so busy with my Zine work, the time just flew by... Boy oh boy, I don't think I'm ready to say goodbye (⸝⸝o̴̶̷᷄ ·̭ o̴̶̷̥᷅⸝⸝)

Once I post this and reply to prev comments, I'll be avoiding social media up until Friday night so I don't risk seeing spoilers. To those who ARE seeing it tomorrow; I wish you luck. I pray for a happy ending, whatever that may look like (ㅅ;v;)

Thank you to everyone behind the scenes who created this incredible show. And thank you to those who have enjoyed my content up until this point. I still have lots planned even once the show ends, I hope you'll join me along the way (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)

And of course, because I can't help myself...

... Just me or...?

His final words haunted her.

She could feel his anguish, his deepest fears coming true. His desperation to be loved and seen and understood, and only getting the attention by lashing out as one final hope. Begging for validation, pleading for them to stay and not abandon him. His endless enthusiasm finally cracking under pressure; the childlike wonder he had cherished now crashing before him.

And as much as she tried to help him, he would push her away, thinking her kindness was a cruel trick to taunt him. All humans had shown him such viciousness; why would she be any different?

But that didn't stop the fact that in every adventure after, despite everything, he would turn off her pain receptors so she wouldn't suffer like the others. Whether inadvertently or not, she didn't know, but she did know that deep down, there was a part of him that still cared.

She knew he didn't mean it. He didn't want to do this. And after every adventure she would beg him to let her in, try to chip away at the walls he had built out of self-defence. If she just had more time, maybe she could finally get through to him and convince everyone to just talk to one another.

But the others had been tortured enough. And time wasn't on her side.

It all unfolded so fast, and in a blink, he was gone.

But his words.

His voice.

His pain.

The crushing weight of his agony, the realization of his absence... It was enough to finally - after weeks of anguish and turmoil in the digital world and in her own heart - FINALLY, cause her to crack.

And all she could see, in a world of decaying grey pixels, was vivid colours of release.

It's fine. We're fine. ᦚ( ◍•ᴗ•◍)

I still have so much world-building I want to do with Lyra and her relationship with Caine. And I am NOT going to make this canon in my AU. But this could be considered a snippet of "What if she was there..."

I just needed to get this off my chest. I haven't been able to concentrate on work or anything since Friday... I don't think a character death has ever shaken me this much. Hoping if I drown myself in art/writing it will make everything better...

….. Not very well LMFAO ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)

Lyra is a terrible shot. She would be the type to scream in a panic while shooting in a videogame. So actually holding a gun and shooting her friends?? I mean, she would try?? But she would be awful.

The way I picture it. Since there's an odd number, Lyra needs a partner. So she asks Caine, to which he is THRILLED (He hardly ever actually participates in his own adventures, so the fact that a human want's him to join?? He's ELATED).

As soon as they start playing, Jax shoots at Lyra instantly. Though the the bullet don't actually hit her?? Just immediately drop to the floor. Jax complains it's not fair, and in this instance Lyra actually agrees with him. As much as the AI wants to unknowingly protect her, she needs to be able to be hurt just like the others. With a huff, Caine complies and allows for bullets to actually hit her. To which Jax takes full advantage of.

Lyra gets eliminated pretty quickly, hunted down by the Jax-a#%$, and losing her last life soon after Kinger. She only survived as long as she did cause she mainly hid. Caine is actually an excellent shot (as we've seen in EP 8 with him shooting the bowling pins). He does very well in this episode, hitting quite a few of the others with ease. But once Caine discovers his partner is out, he actually just… drops his gun and pops to where Lyra. In the 'Loser Corner' they sit together; the Angel is shocked he arrived soon after she had lost; he still had all of his hearts last she saw him, what had happened? Caine tells her he simply gave up, and she's so confused. Why?? 

He simply states it's not as much fun without her, and he'd much rather be here with her than win up there. And though Caine states it matter-of-factly, it's a tender moment for Lyra. While Ragatha and Kinger are having their own heart to heart, Caine actually shows Lyra the pictures of the 'Mysterious Macroverse' he has and babbles on excitedly. She doesn't have the heart to tell him the real world isn't as grandiose as he believes, so she opts to just sit and listen. And though they had lost this particular challenge, neither seem dismayed by the notion. The two simply sat in the tranquil dark; smiling, sneaking glances, and hands getting unknowingly closer to one another until just barely brushing against one another.
