[Eridan's POV]

"Fef, you're coming wwith me!"

"No Eridan! I'm staying here with Sollux!"

I wwas absolutely baffled wwhen she told me that. I don't knoww wwhat wwas going through my head at the time. I just knoww I wwasn't thinking absolutely straight. I didn't mean... To hurther. It wwasn't right of me. And I wwouldn't judge a single being; landwweller, seadwweller, human or otherwwise. I wwouldn't judge them if they thought I wwas wwrong. I wwas. I deservve to be hated for wwhat I'vve done to the one I lovved.
Evven wwith my rash actions, I didn't do anything but push her awway more than I already had. I regret it. I lost her so easily. There's no one but myself to blame.
The only thing that seriously bugs me noww. Is that she's wwith him! HIM of all trolls. That lowwblood.. It's just not right.

[Aradia's POV]

I hugged him the best my metal, blue bl00ded b0dy c0uld. "I'll see you s00n S0llux"
It wasn't fair 0f me t0 c0mpletely f0rget ab0ut Equius in it all. I regret n0t pr0perly saying g00d-bye, but it's past.

I'm dead. I was always faited to be dead. My purpose was much better suited for the dead. Not many of the other trolls could understand aside from Vriska. She had her death all mapped out like it were to be the highlight of her life.

I honestly don't know why I prioritized my good-bye for Sollux so high. I mean. I know I wasn't the one who was occupying his mind. I would've liked to think he'd jump at the chance to see me physically there. But I guess I was wrong. I guess there's a difference between living, breathing and being a robot. I'm at the very least glad he moved on. She is.. Awfully pretty. I know she has a big heart too. But I can't help but feel hurt when it's not me.

[Eridan's POV]

Evvery once and a wwhile I found myself wwatching Fef after I wwas graced by death thanks to Kanya. It probably wwasn't the best wway for me to kill time. But evvery time I heard her vvoice there wwas some sort of peaceful ring that I longed for.

The most uncomfortable thing for me wwhile I wwatched ovver (aside from the lovvey dovvey stuff) wwas that evvery once and a wwhile, Aradia wwould be wwatching Sollux. Wwe nevver talked much. Wwe traded giggled noww and then as wwe wwatched silently. But I almost avoided her because of this guilty feeling I wwould get wwhen I couldn't keep the convversation going.

[Aradia's POV]

Eridan was always kinda a cutie. He had awkward patches, but who doesn't. I liked his awkward quirkyness. I actually liked his company too. It was a little weird at first to have the both of us dead and watching our old loves aw at each other. I got over it. I'm not so sure about him though... I've actually been finding myself trying to take more time to watch over Sollux and Feferi just for the slight chance of being able to talk. I mean we do have a lot we can relate to each other about. It's a nice feeling. I don't think Sollux would be able to step onto this level of understanding.
