#forest frolickers

In the first phase Sourtail meets Guide Moth and they become good friends, eventually forming the Forest Frolickers! Guide Moth promises to be there for Sourtail.

Phase 2 involves Sourtail noticing how Guide Moth is becoming more distant, not knowing why. Guide Moth suffers from self-worth issues despite being the leader of the Forest Frolickers. They feel like they aren't good enough to be the leader so he pushes himself to be better, most of the time to his own detriment. Sourtail notices this and how it starts to make Guide Moth isolate from the rest of the group, causing concern. Eventually Sourtail and Cardinal Bomb get into a fight about Sourtail's dad and his neglect. Cardinal Bomb is an orphan which makes her a bit jealous of ST (and the others, excluding Little Fang for reasons you'll see soon) because not only does he have a father, BUT HE'S RICH. This all leads to her saying "AT LEAST YOU HAVE A DAD! I HAVE NOTHING! NOTHING!".

Phase 3 is where Sourtail's mental health takes a big hit. He wanders into his father's lab and finds a few... Experiments. He finds out that he... He wasn't born... He was created in his father's lab... Experiment #37 was a success.
