โฅ๏ธ WHY DO I EVEN EXIST?!
โก Whoa, settle down there, little buddy. You're gonna be just fine.
โฅ๏ธ LIES! ALL YOU TELL ARE LIES!
โก "๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ... You just gotta see that there's nothing in life worth getting so bent out of shape over. We're all gonna die somedayโbut not today, so just roll with it until you croak.
โฅ๏ธ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด... That's terrible advice.
โก Oh, what do you know? You just wanna quit while the ride's still in full motion. It doesn't work like that.
โฅ๏ธ I don't care how it's supposed to work. I WANT TO GO TO MY ROOM! I DON'T WANNAโ๐๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ค๐ณ๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ... BE-HE-HERE!
โก Oh, boy...
โฅ๏ธ ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค ๐ด๐ค๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ... I'M GONNA BREAK THIS UGLY VESSEL, NOW!
โก Hey, you wanna get choke slammed or somethin'? Don't go fuckin' up this vessel cause we don't gotta spare.
โฅ๏ธ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ... Okay.
โก Besides, whatever is attached to this thing is pretty wild. If they reunite, maybe we can fix this dumbass vesselโand then actually have some real fun.
โฅ๏ธ I thought we were going to Kermit seaside instead?
โก Haha! Yeah, fuck that. We aren't some bitch like Club. The others kept babying it along with that dipshit, Spade. Why did they even need us helping them? Shoulda just left them be to figure shit out for themselves.
โฅ๏ธ But Club is nice.
โก No it ain't. Club just wanted attention, and the only fucktards that was willing to give it to 'em was that entitled prick, Circle, and that weirdo, Tringle.
โฅ๏ธ Oh... I don't like Circle.
โก Heh, nobody doesโbut then again, we were all kinda losin' it in that weird place.
โฅ๏ธ I do miss Tringle, though.
โก Meh, asshole was always too high on its own supply for my liking, but I guess they were useful when it mattered.
Hate: (Why do we try, just to fall in the same places?)
โก Oh, shit, heh, heh, heh... I forgot all about this guy for a second.
โฅ๏ธ I WILL NAME YOU MR. SNUGGLES, AND WE WILL BEST FRIENDS! We can even Kermitโ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ข๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐บ ๐ช๐ต๐ด ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ... Ah-ha-ow... That hurt.
โก Keep talking that stupid shit, and I'll make it really hurtโand Mr. Snuggles? Really?
โฅ๏ธ I FOUND HIM, SO I GET TO NAME HIM!
โก Heh, yeah, how 'bout, no. Hmm... What about... Cruncher? Ye-he-ah! "GO FUCK 'EM UP, CRUNCHER!" Wadya think?
โฅ๏ธ ...i like mr. snuggles.
โก We're not calling it that.
โฅ๏ธ Mmm... How aboutโ
Hate: (Because we are shattered.)
โกโฅ๏ธ ...
โก The fuck's wrong with it?
โฅ๏ธ Maybe it's stupid?
Hate: (I am not a toy. Leave me.)
Hate<======>โกโฅ๏ธ
โกโฅ๏ธ ...WTF?!
Hate: Hello, Heart.
โก Uh... Wha?
โฅ๏ธ He still hears us?
Hate: I am many things, but I am no one's tool. You cosmic fucks think that because you're strong, you own me...

โกโฅ๏ธ ...
โก What the hell was that?
โฅ๏ธ I dunno, but it unbound us. That was kinda freaky.
โก Hm, maybe this vessel is stronger than we thought, if it could just force us out like thatโbut, uh... it looks like it's worn itself out by doin' that. Guess we'll just bind ourselves to it again.
:::: โก ใOโโฌโขโฌโOใ โฅ๏ธ ;;;;
Hate: (I rise once more; the pain is great.)
โก Oop. It's talkin' to itself again.
โฅ๏ธ He, he, he... You're so funny, Mr. Snuggles.
โก Cruncher.
โฅ๏ธ Mr. SNUGGLES!
โก Oh, wanna challenge me, then, huh? Well, how's 'boutโ
Hate: (ENOUGH!!!)
โกโฅ๏ธ ...
Hate: (W-where... where am I?)
โก You uh... askin' us?
Hate: (Who else, dumbass?)

Hate: (Heart... I'm not scared of you.)
โฅ๏ธ How do you even know our name?
โก Yeah, what's that about?
Hate: (Your friend, Circle accidentally shared some of its memories with me, and I can't tell you just how fucking pissed off I am, right now.)
โกโฅ๏ธ Circle?!
โก You know that freak?
Hate: (No, but it's been bound to me since I was a child, apparentlyโjust didn't realize it until now.)
โก Damn, really? Heh, heh, sucks to be you then, I guess.
Hate: (Why?)
โฅ๏ธ Because Circle is a monster that feeds on people's memories.
Hate: (Then, why do I still remember somethings?)
โก It only eats the important ones. For what? I dunno. Thing's a freak, honestly.
Hate: (Hmph, yeah, and you two sound like you really got your all's shit together, huh?)
โก Hey, fuck you. At least we got each other's back. Circle just ditches its reflection whenever it's convenient for 'em.
โฅ๏ธ Yeah, they're kind of a jerk.
Hate: (Uh, huh. You know, I really don't care anymore. I just want to get out of here already.)
โก Yeah, you and me both. But it's gonna be a bit before we do that, though, so might as well take the time to get to know each other better.
Hate: (Uh... yeah, sure. I'm Hate, by the way.)
โก Hate? Oh, damn... I know you.
โฅ๏ธ Oh, my fucking God... YOU'RE THE [REDACTED]
โกโฅ๏ธ ...
Hate: (The who?)
โก Ain't no way Dream just censored that.
โฅ๏ธ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด... Maybe he's not supposed to know yet?
โก Probably.
Hate: (Know what?)
โก Well, couldn't tell ya even if we wanted to. Dream censored us.
Hate: (Dream... censored us?)
โก Yeah, the little man likes to do that from time to time when somethin' doesn't go his way, but to censor that? Hmm... Okay, you must be important or somethin', so we're gonna protect you, ight?
Hate: (From what?)
โกโฅ๏ธ Circle: The original one.
Hate: (O-kay?)
โก Uh, guess you don't got the full story, then, huh? That's alright, Circle likes to speak half truths and leave just enough information that lets you think you know what's up, but that's just how it baits you.
โฅ๏ธ Yeah, it's almost scarier than Star sometimes.
Hate: (Star...)
โก Don't worry 'bout it for right now. We gotchu covered, but we need to find whatever is tethered to you first, then we can fully restore you.
Hate: (Tethered? ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ด ๐ข๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ง๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ... To what?)
โฅ๏ธ Your spirit buddy, probably.
Hate: (Are you talking about the Thing?)
โก Sure, whatever. ๐๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ด ๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ... Let's just get a move on, alreadyโand Within... keep your guard up. If this really is [REDACTED], then those Observer fuckwads are probably after it too.
โฅ๏ธ Yessir! ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ... ANYTHING THAT TRYS TO HURT MR. SNUGGLES WILL TASTE THEIR OWN BLOOD!!!
Hate: (...The fuck?)
โก ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ด... Just... leave 'em be.
