Days pass by and you get no messages from Aradia. It is actually kind of frustrating. Not sure what to think, you close the tap and walk downstairs to the entrance, ready to leave for school.

On your way, you go through what happened over the last week. After your secret admire told you to forget about Dave, you figure there is no way it was Dave writing the letters... sadly. Maybe you can get a clue if you text him. Perhaps... get a hint on who it might be? No luck so far. On the other hand, your admirer did also stop to talk about Dave. Or any other classmates. He obviously gets upset whenever you mention someone else, but that's it. You mostly talk about yourself. (He just won't stop asking about you). So you told him about your past, childhood, previous school's and your family. Sometimes it seems like he knows some of those things already…

Sadly, you didn't get him to talk at all. Nothing about himself. Not even his name. The only thing he tells you is that you don't know him anyway and that he doesn't want you to look him up somehow... so you don't even try anymore…

You spend most of your time up in the 4th floor now. You walk around and look through the rooms. Some of them look like no one has entered them in years... which is probably the case. Others seem like they are used daily (what is the actual surprise for you). Beside room 420 there are 2 others that have no dust what so ever... there is also one locked room that is marked as a boxroom.

You open several cabinets, drawers and closets, revealing nothing more than some simple school stuff... nothing out of the ordinary.

It is actually pretty frustrating that you haven't gotten any more Information. Like... none at all. You think about giving up... your only hope is Aradia... and if she doesn't answer, you'll have to drop the case... but it is probably for the best. This topic keeps you awake for days. You didn't get much sleep, you couldn't concentrate and your trust in your friends is fading away. This crap is destroying your life!

Today, Friday, you will change your plans and stop searching for something that doesn't exist!

After your internal monologue, you arrive at school and join your friends in the classroom. The lessons are as boring as always. During the break, you eat with them. You can't help but feel left out. They act as always but you just can't fit in anymore... it feels like you've changed without noticing. But everyone else stayed as they were before. Your friendship bonding seem so far away and abstract... without saying anything, you pack your stuff and leave the table, ignoring your friends questions.

Not long after, you find yourself in the hallway leading to the staircase you always take to get to room 420. While climbing up, you hear some strange noises from the third floor. Curious, you look for the source. You turn around some corners until you stand in front an empty room. (Quite many empty rooms here...)

You open the door a bit and glance inside. What you see halts your breath. Dave and John are making out on top of a desk... you didn't even notice that they left earlier than you. You... actually don't know how to feel. Your mind tells you that you should be happy for your two best friends. It tells you this so obviously that it hurts. ... but your heart burns. You feel like falling as you see Dave kissing someone else. It physically hurts you to see them. Your hopes shatter and you can't hold back the tears as you run away.

You run and run and run and all you can think of is how dumb you are for even thinking about such a relationship. It was so obvious! But you still built your hopes up. And even though you know you never had a chance, you still can't help but envy John. God, how you hate him right now! But Dave was never yours. John is not the bad one here! It's... you. And you hate yourself for wishing to get in between those two.

You slam the door shut and sit down on the ground, crying. After you calm down a bit, you look up and around the place. You made it to room 420... even though you had no special place you wanted to go. You just wanted to get away from everyone, everything. You wanted to be at a place where you could be you... and apparently this is this place. It seems that you grew close to the mysterious guy who writes you daily. You even feel safe around him now... though you've never seen him nor do you know his name.

After rubbing away your tears, you sit down at the desk and start writing. Since you stay here so often, you already have a spare stack of paper and a pen stashed away. You tell him everything. Your feelings for Dave, what happened, how you feel thanks to Dave and John and to this secret no one wants talk about. And you don't stop. Not even the bell announcing the next class can't stop you.

After you've written down everything, you look at the 4 letters you have finished. You overthink it for a second but let's be real: he seems to be the only one you can talk to... isn't he? After placing them in the drawer you leave and join your class after making up an excuse.

Most classmates just look at you without a second thought. It hurts you to see Dave immediately turn back to watch John. You sit down, feeling dead inside, eyes still red from crying and no one seems to care...

You are watching (y/n) from your seat. She looks horrible. Puffy eyes, red skin. (Y/n) clearly was crying. It seems like no one else cares at all. But you can't ignore it. You keep an eye on her since ... someone... does so as well. You can't let him get too close to her. He can hurt others. But he is still your moirail. You have to help him somehow. You are the only one able to rescue everyone involved... he only listens to you. Sometimes. You hope at least...

Gog... why is this so hard...

You watched your love as she cried her beautiful eyes out on your side. Well, she didn't know you were there. But you saw her. You saw everything. And now you're reading (y/n)'s story. MOTHERFUCKER! How dare they hurting my WiCkEd sIsTeR?!

After finishing the letters you crawl back into the vents located in the back of the room in the ceiling. You have to follow your heart~

In no time you arrive at the closest opening to her classroom. You watch her sitting down. And your brother is watching her... but can you even trust him anymore?! He tried to BETRAY you! And took her miracle letter away!

...

You watch them all.

You look at Dave.

And John.

And Karkat.

And (y/n).

Glad you are sober ... how else could you get such great ideas~

You smile and creep back into the darkness...
