Rather far into the loops, Green decides to drink some alcohol from White. There seems to be no harm in it and if anything were to go wrong, it’s not like the rest of the crew will remember if a) after Green dies, b) the ship makes it to Industria, or c) all the crew dies (not going to happen if Green has anything to say about it)

Of course, Green is very good at putting their foot up their mouth. One moment, they were taking their first cup of wine, the next thing Green knows, the loop had promptly restarted. And they had a killer hangover.

The crew start acting strangely too.

Green doesn’t notice immediately, it actually takes them a few loops. But as the loops past, Green can’t help but think that the crew is starting to remember. It’s not consistent, sometimes none of them remember anything, other times one or two of them seem to shy away from Green, while clearly carrying salt with them. On a rare occasion, a large group or all of them get wary of Green.

The new behaviour is driving Green mad, and they can’t even blame the crew. They did kill them all brutally multiple times. No matter how much Green loves them now, it doesn’t erase what has happened.

So now, Green has to suffer seeing their past partners looking at them with suspicion. Everytime a new loop starts, Green takes all the time to try and apologise to the crew member that remembered last loop; even if they don’t remember currently. Because the only way Green can get close now is when they don’t remember a thing.

Of course, this tentative tolerant peace can only last so far and unsurprisingly, Green is confronted.

The worst thing about it was the it was Cyan and Blue who confronted Green.

It would’ve hurt no matter who it was, but Green already had a scenario for most of the others. Lime with their holy water gun, Purple and Red working together to take them down, Yellow and Brown with the flakey salt, or maybe just Black, White, and Orange throwing anything they have at Green.

But those two? Green had nothing, and they were dreading what would happen.

(these posts need so many tags, but I’m pushing through; 1 more part left after this, contains the bitter sweet ending and good ending (which is ambiguous))
