[LOST IN PURE SILENCE, EPILOGUE]

[From the POV of Earl Grey]

Was I always this cruel? I treated my dolls with such care, and my mother praised me for it, but sometimes I wonder if I'm doing more harm than good.. no, I'm saving them, I was not myself during that, that's when I spotted their shadow in the corner, turning my doll body to face them.

Eyes of blue, and a friendly yet sinister smile. I could tell that face from anywhere, having grown up with them. Though right now, they were just a shadow, a very influential one.

"That was an entertaining sight to see, brother!"

The figure spoke, the dreary and hostile atmosphere almost melting away. Of course, I could tell why I was so aggressive now... the auras. They could give off auras to affect people; fear, violence, even paralysis... and the auras could be focused on individuals.

"You had watched the whole time, I assume?"

"Indeed I did! What a show, that meager little knight was shaking in his boots, and you really showed who's boss!"

I knew that our bond was strong even if we weren't biologically related, from that day where they fell, to the very seconds flowing in this moment, we never fought each other, maybe back then, but never now.

"Now you have yours to deal with back home, yes? I've dealt with mine... but why did you have to make me hurt my dearest friend?"

I felt guilty for cutting into his neck like that, he agreed to be silenced, but did I have to be so extra about scaring his lover while under the influence of their aura?

"Brother, scratch that, do you still have your doughmanity within you?"

...why did I call them my brother? I'm better than this.

"Well, I meant sibling-"

"Call me whichever you will, Earl. I never had intentions to hurt your dearest friend, I must have gotten a little too excited with you pushing around that ■■■■■■■ marked cookie. As for my Doughmanity?... I'm not so sure, considering you know of what I have done."

Considering I know? Well, they've done so much. Affected countless lives because of things that happened before, and yet they seem to hold so much happiness in their face.. I wonder if the same applies to their soulstone.

They've made... so many things to satiate their desire to be on top. It's why they were so attracted to birds of prey in their youth, and now they were The Predator.. the strongest bird of prey..

"I still feel horrible for it. He wasn't doing anything wrong."

"You didn't cut too deep, at least. Just enough to get the jam running. Deeper, and it would have been richer."

"I still feel terrible about it, Whipped Cream is my dearest friend, I didn't want to hurt them, I didn't want to reveal that I am The Silence! I never wanted to hurt anyone..."

I didn't realize that I was distressed, I guess I held more doughmanity than the others.. I just sighed and backed away, picking up the fallen mask that was my face.

"Earl, it's only a matter of time before they find out who I am too. Their curious natures bring them to the strangest of beings. Don't feel bad that you revealed yourself. I'm also to blame here for making you feel violent."

And what they were saying was more truth than not... It didn't reassure me, but it made me feel not as bad.

I nodded, opening the Hall again and disappearing into its nothingness, soon, I'll be able to help them too.

[From the POV of Whipped]

The last few days were rough, but the wound had healed mostly, but Dark Choco was worried about me.. holding me close whenever we slept together, even making sure that the others couldn't hurt me... oh and the legs? They're functional, Earl Grey is a great friend for giving me these white and gold legs... they feel like porcelain but it hasn't broken yet!..

Today is the day that we have to return home...

Dark Choco's been on edge since the start of the day, but he's kept a calm expression, though I swear he's shed a few tears. I don't want to leave him either, it's been so long but.. now we've only been back together for a short time, only to part again. I haven't been able to let him go, and we've rarely left the room that'd been given to us.

"Whipped.. You know it's time.. It's time for us to leave the sanctuary. I've been gone for too long, and I know it'll only make you more anxious to be here alone.."

Hearing him say that only makes me want to cry. I don't want to leave him so soon! We've only had each other for such a short time!

"I don't want to leave you either, but I have no choice. I owe him."

I held onto his arm, why did he have to leave so soon? Did he return just because I went missing? I... don't want him to leave again, at that moment, I began to cry, silent tears as I didn't have the ability to tell him anything anymore, the only downside to the blessing from Earl Grey...

I eventually pull him in for a hug, sobbing into his armor, why.. it was too soon to be separated again...

I tried to ask him why can't I join him, but when I get distressed like this, I struggle a lot..

"I wish I could take you, Whipped. I would do anything to bring you with me.. But where I go, it isn't safe for those who can't voice an opinion..."

I don't understand what's so dangerous about it, but he won't let me go with him for my own safety.. I want to be mad, but I can't. I'm just a sobbing mess as he holds me close.. He's on the verge of tears too.

It's too soon to go.. I don't want him to go..

Eventually I let go.. taking the bracelet off of my wrist and giving it to him, just so he can remember me when he's gone.

A smile despite the tears, I love him and won't forget him, trying to tell him that I love him.

"I love you too, Whipped.. I promise, we will see each other again, and we won't go our separate ways."
