... So, yeah.
I decided to keep writing about this. Consider it like a Drabble series or something like that, since this story is a bunch of fragments of this Alternate Ending.
Anyway, I hope you guys like it!

II:
Sewing
He didn't know what would happen once they got out.
Just in one action, he broke the loop, and he sensed the Flesh walls shrieking and wailing outside the room, but he didn't want to listen to them. They had hurt his heart and mind all over again, he didn't care if this tower fell to pieces with them, as long as he stayed with Six.
The music box kept playing, and Six wasn't near it as the beginning. It seemed she had entrusted her treasure to him. He wouldn't smash it. The tempting axe was laying there, untouched, but he wouldn't grab until Six told him to.
Since he promised her he'd stay with her, they didn't say anything else. It had been a while since he had spoken. How long has it been? Days? Months? Time worked different inside the Signal Tower, and he didn't seem to grow any older, nor his monstrous friend. What if the tower was doing this on purpose?
He moved his head when he heard his friend growling. She crouched to him, with some toys in her big hands and distorted fingers. He remembered these plushies; they were from the hospital. They weren't exactly cute, but they had a good time playing with them to find out which one had the key. But…
"I thought you liked the duck?"
She didn't say anything. Instead, she dropped all the bears over him and he let out a yelp of surprise while she moved around, until she found the duck toy. He smiled a little.
"You want to play?" She didn't say anything, and he already guessed she couldn't, really. "Mm… how about we make these guys less creepy?" he proposed, showing the disturbing faces of the bears to his friend. She nodded. "Mm… Ah!" He let out a little scream as Six placed the big box full of toys in front of him. He blinked, until he got up and looked at the content. There were more plushies, toys, some books, and, to his surprise, buttons and some thread attached to a needle.
Since his monster friend couldn't do much due to her size, she just tore the bears apart, then giving the rests to Mono, who started to sew back in silence. Of course, he omitted the creepy eyes, and put a pair of buttons instead of eyes.
He was finishing the second one, then Six's hand slamming the floor startled him. He glanced up and saw her distorted face, though he was unfazed by her ugliness.
"What is it?"
She groaned, then moved her head in frustration. Her big finger pointed at him.
"… Did I do something?"
She shook her head.
That caught his attention.
"We can talk as long as if they're yes or no type of answers." He proposed, and she perked up a little. He softened his gaze. "You wanted to talk to me?"
After some hesitation, she nodded with her head.
He narrowed his eyes at her. Maybe, they could start with something simple, then…
"Do you want me to leave?"
She shook her head furiously.
"Do like me staying here?"
She nodded.
"Mm… what do you like to eat? Vegetables?" She made some displeasing sound, and he couldn't help but smile at her. "Meat?" She nodded. "I see. I like both." He told her. "Though I miss having something sweet like candy. Do you like candy?"
This time, she didn't move. He frowned.
"… Um, have you tried it?"
Six shook her head.
"Oh." He smiled a little. "Then, if we ever get out of here, I'll do my best and I'll find you some candy. I like chocolates the most, you know?"
Mono noticed her tensing up at the possibility of leaving, and he knew she wasn't ready yet. And that was okay with him, though he had to check from time to time. She had relaxed when he immediately left the thing about leaving. He had to wait.
"Mm… What about colors? Do you like red?" She shrugged. "… I'll take as a… you don't hate it, I guess?" She nodded. "What about blue?" She nodded eagerly, he wondered why. "Yellow?" She tensed, and didn't move. Mono was a little confused at her reaction. "I thought you liked it, with the raincoat and…" she let out a warning growl and he tensed.
She didn't want to talk about the raincoat?
"… I'm sorry if I upset you."
He kept sewing in silence. He had tons of bears now looking cute, and even more creepy ones to go. While he was putting back the stuff inside the plushie so it wouldn't fall apart, Six's hand grabbed him, taking him by surprise.
"Six?"
She held him in both her hands, watching him silently. He wasn't sure why she did that, but he wasn't going to comply. As she held him close to her chest, he ended up sewing the bear, but its eyes were missing. He was about to ask her to let him go down to get the buttons, but she held him tighter to her.
"You just want to stay like this?"
She nodded.
"Okay."
The music kept winding.
Aaaand that's it for now.
I'll try to update when I can, since college is devouring my soul and everything... so yeah.
I hope you readers enjoyed it!
