Bandy didn't talk to me for a day after the incident. Everytime I tried to start a conversation, he'd just look away while twiddling with his non-existant thumbs or spear. And everytime I tried to even touch him, he'd just glare at me. Why? What did I do wrong?

Am I the monster he first thought I was?

No.

I am not. I made a hastily written note to him telling him that, and he just crumpled it up and threw it away. But...we're friends. I'm sure he'll get over it. But what if he wasn't? The thought of it made me shiver. I know I could destroy and create with my power, but...please.

Don't let go. Don't make me suffer.

I want to go back home. But I don't. I don't know. I DON'T KNOW.

Then he finally spoke to me, breaking his silence.

"I know you're not a monster. You're my friend." I smiled. Maybe he still trusted me.

"But some friends can't be trusted."

Wait, what? That was in Bandy's voice, too. So it couldn't be that monster. Is he still not over it? Please. Stop making me feel this pain. I whimpered, and he sighed in unison.

"May I have some paper?" I obliged, and I gave him a piece. A few seconds later, he gave it back to me, looking away. It was a drawing. His skills were way better than mine, that was for sure. It showed us two as shadows, sitting on a cliff, looking at a bright blue surface as the sun set. "That blue's the ocean." he whispered.

I smiled. I guess we could patch things up.

I hope so. Maybe.

Probably.

Hopefully.

I looked up to him, and he whimpered. "Do you like it?" I quickly nodded. "Then why do you look so scared?"

I'm so sorry.
