💤 I wrote 1 for Mono because mono means singular, btw. I only explain this because it had to be explained to me and I don’t want none getting embarrassed haha
💤 Six and the chair are both kinda hanging off the page by more paper in an accordion fashion
💤 There’s an eye behind Six to symbolize the eyes that first gave her her hunger (based on the theory that LN2 is a prequel and it’s the first time her stomach growls in canon)
💤 The chair has a gaping mouth behind it because I think the signal tower acts as the throat of some kind of eldrich being, the one that consumed the city citizens, deformed the adults, and drives the greed of this world.
I really hate a lot of stuff that happened in DC canon like Bruce slitting Jason's throat, Jason nearly killing Tim during battle for the cowl, and Damian trying to kill Tim when he was first introduced.
And as a fanfic writer it can be really hard to navigate these situations as you don't want your characters to be OOC, but you also can't imagine these scenes happening.
And then I realised that I can just create an AU where none of that happened and no one can stop me.

In the sounds of nightmares, Noone say’s those too long in the Nowhere, forget, they lose parts of themselves. It’s just as we theorized, Thin Man and Six saw Mono, but no longer remembered him, the only thing left was a sense of familiarity they couldn’t understand.
To those who don’t know. Years ago, I and other theorists had theorized the Thin Man was a slave to the Tower, his mind infected with escapism by the Tower’s transmission just as it had done to every other Resident in the Pale City, his memories were gone, his mind guided and fueled by his own corrupted desires/instincts, he was not aware Mono was him, let alone knew who Six was. In terms of Six, we have always theorized she too was infected with escapism, but instead of a tv, it was through her music box.
Six had become addicted to the transmission and the comfort it brought her, which made it all the more painful when Mono destroyed her music box and forced her back into a reality she did not want to be a part of. In the end, Mono succeeded in severing the connection Six had to the Tower itself, he freed her from the transmission. Sadly, because of her time in the Nowhere, then later literally losing a part of herself(Dark Six) in the Pale City, followed by being corrupted by the transmission, as well as what was revealed in the 2017 comics, we theorized Six had also tragically lost her memory.
And so, despite the lingering familiarity she sensed from Mono after she became Monster Six, all this changed when she watched Mono destroy her music box, it was this moment which made Six view Mono as a threat, a stranger, rather than a friend. As a result of everything she had experienced, Six left Mono in the Tower, never knowing what Mono did to save her, and never realizing their battle was staged by the Tower itself to separate them. Six couldn’t remember anything…until later of course.
