Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2025 6:14 pm
○ I will not... stay here, alone in the cold, dark place with her. Eu-Meh... Why? Why would you trick me? And not only that, but sacrifice yourself to keep me here. I genuinely can't understand why you would do something like that, and even more so... My hate for you has grown akin to the hate I bear for myself, so what does that make us? I could try to kill you, but you're strong, and I'm weak... I've always been weak, even though I tried to be so much more. But enough, was simply never enough... I was never going to be enough. I failed, and I feel absolutely nothing, now. What's next for me, then? What shall my fate become?
○ I remember this numb feeling. I remember sitting down, playing alone with my toys because nobody wanted to play with me. "The odd one," they sneered. I remember the lies they told about me. My reputation made it true. I remember how they would cheat me. My folly made it true. I remember the beatings and sabotage they inflicted against me...
~ I ended them in return.
○ ... And in return, I wasn't good to others back. I soon felt unfathomable rage and stoped playing with the toys. I threw them all away because they were only reminding me: My friend was gone, and I no longer had someone to play with.
○ I remember the dying baby bird, twitching from when it had fallen from its nest. I... 𝘞𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨... I failed to save it.
○ I saw myself in that dying, screeching animal and realized, THIS was to be my fate.
○ Alone...
○ Neglected...
○ And gradually nearing the end of life.
○ I remember witnessing similar scenes throught my life, but only as an observer.
○ For that's all everyone had done to me.
○ So I did the same.
○ Therefore, I broke myself...
○ And smiled.
Eu-Meh: 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘴 𝘶𝘱 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱... Hate?!
○ Heh, sounds like Eu-Meh's getting tired. It's alright Eu-Meh, sleep. Then, I can sprint towards you and stomp on your fucking skull. Then, I'll find Allurus, Enoch, and all the other shit stains who had a hand in this, and do the exact same thing to them, you cosmic fucks. Hm, I still sense the Thing's presence, but it feels far.
○ I'm not sure exactly what's gonna happen when I do get out of here, but if the Thing is still out there, then I know it will find a way to get to me, so I gotta try too.
Eu-Meh: 𝘎𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯...
○ She's instructed me sit with my back turned to her, so I can't see when she's drifting off. But I've been listening to her breathing just before she gasps. 1... 2... 3... 4...
○ 345,677...(Eu-Meh: 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.) Break. 345,677 seconds. Previous interval margin rages from 345,600-345,800... with a possible 22% margin of error. I've repeated this process numerous times for what's felt like weeks now, but I honestly don't how much time I've actually been sitting here. It's strange, though. I'm not hungry, nor do I thirst. But I am growing weary like Eu-Meh.
○ So... Who's going to blink first, Eu-Meh?
○ I finally decide to do something bold: I slowly turn back to face her sitting behind me at a distance, but only though the corner of my eye; she remains still.
○ She doesn't respond; she barely moves, but I still hear her. I wonder what she's thinking. I feel somewhat bad. I know I've hurt her. I know, I've hurt them, and if it wasn't for the Thing, they all could've been killed. Why did Dream even attack them if they were working together? Allurus said it was The Observers' influence, but in here... He looked just fine.
*Eu-Meh: as a conduit, he's partially under the influence of The Observers.*
○ ̴ ...?!
○ ̴ Oh, my God.
○ ̴ Now, I remember why Allurus chose me; why Dream, and the Thing chose me.
○ ̴ I'm Circle, and my nature is: Oblivion.
○ ̴ Hmm... I must've been looping for too long again. I had nearly forgotten what I was.
○ ̴ And for whatever reason, I bound myself to Hate.
○ ̴ But why? The Thing... is that my reflection? It doesn't feel like it is. Where did it go?
○ ̴ I turn to face Eu-Meh once more. Is she under their influence as well? If so, should I try to free her? Although, Hate only wants to destroy her. Hm, why did I bind myself to him?
○ ̴ What did I see in you? What did I feel, that urged me to do this?
○ ̴ Well, I can't stay here. I have to regroup with the others, and find—𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘴... Spade.
○ ̴ I remember you, too, now, Spade. I will have my vengeance for what you did to us. What you made us forget. I'll wring your fucking throat and... Oh. Now, I know why I bound myself to you, Hate. Now, I know why the Observers' essence had no effect on you...
○ ̴ [REDACTED] ... A censorship? Really, Dream? 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩, alright. I guess I will need to go find him first, then. But why would he censor himself? What are you hiding Dream?
○ ̴ Hmm... I imagine Star has something to do with this. 𝘙𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘴... There's no other way that fool, Spade could've accomplished this ruse on its own, or why Dream would feel the need to censor himself.
○ ̴ Alright, Hate, time to get your shit together so you can reunite with the Thing before it's too late. Now, come on you coward, do what you're meant to do; what you need to do. Eu-Meh, I understand now why you brought me here. Heart's nature is Wrath, and through it, it will find Hate. You may not even remember why you did it anymore. I can tell we've been sitting here for centuries, now. All the energy you've exerted just to stay awake. You've been watching over me, until I could remember. Thank you, and I am so sorry for what's to come next. Heart, I leave the rest to you. I'll still be in here, though, but not really. I'll blink to the others, and lure you with this bait: Hate.
○ ̴ 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘴... Good luck. This vessel is absolutely crazy. But then again, so are you.

◇ Jokes... All you tell, are jokes.
◆ "𝘚𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴... Well, what in the hell else are we supposed to do? Gotta pass the time somehow."
◇ Be silent and listen to the stillness of the Void.
◆ "Heh, right—like that doesn't get boring after a while. But, uh... How 'bout you try tellin' one?"
◇ Jokes are not within my nature.
◆ "𝘛𝘴𝘬. Oh now, that's such bullshit, and we both know it. C'mon—ok, how about this: I'll get the ball rolling, then you do a follow-up joke. Sound good?"
◇ As I said, it is not within my nature.
◆ "Oh my ga—ha—ha—awd! Boss, you're fuckin' killin' me. It's just one itsy-bitsy, teensy-weensy little joke. C'mon."
◇ ... Proceed then with your joke, while I process your inquiry.
◆ "Ha, yes! Okay, um, let's see... Hmm... Oh! Heh, heh, ha, ha, ha! I know you're gonna love this one."
◇ ...
◆ "Alright, so, uh... 𝘚𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴... Ha, ha, ha! Okay, okay. Um... So, what did the frustrated fisherwoman do when she couldn't seem to catch anything?"
◇ ...
◆ "Huh?"
◇ ... I haven't the faintest idea.
◆ "𝘚𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴... She, uh—heh, heh—she decides it'd better to quit and recast 'er bait! Aha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
◇ ...
◆ "Eh, eh? Yes, no, maybe so?"
◇ Abhorrent.
◆ "Pfft, what?! Okay, man, whatever. Ahh... Your turn, now, I guess."
◇ I respectfully decline.
◆ "Nooo... C'mon, Boss."
◇ Mmm...
◆ "Can't I at least get one outta ya?"
◇ Were I to oblige your request, would you cease pestering me about this matter?
◆ "Tsk—what? I'm not tryna—𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩... Sure, Boss, but you're really gonna have to learn how to lighten up. After all, this is probably gonna be our last cycle together."
◇ Hm, very well then. Here is my joke: Control facilitates Pain. Pain facilitates Chaos. Chaos facilitates Fear. Fear facilitates Control. What am I?
◆ "That—that's not a joke, Boss; it's a riddle, and it's not even a very good one, to be honest. Just... never mind."
◇ What... am I?
◆ "We both already know the answer to that one, you Debbie Downer."
◇ If you are so certain of the answer, then please tell me: what am I?
◆ "You... You are a—fucking Christ... 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩... You are 'a cycle.'"
◇ Well done.
◆ "Man, I'm not even in a joke telling mood anymore."
◇ Then be silent.
◆ "𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘴... Fuckin' asshole."
__________________________________________________________
○ I've been sitting in this endless space for what's felt like years now. I can barely tell what even happened that made me wind up here. I've tried destroying myself a few times in hopes that it might wake me up, but Eu-Meh's reflexes kick in, just in time to stop me before I can really hurt myself. I sit with my back turned to her, as she now stands guard over me. But I can tell she's definitely not fully equipped for a fight.
○ She knew what she was doing from the beginning; they all did: Allurus, Aya, Enoch, Jasper, Ganda, whoever the hell Opura or Ba'al is... and Dream. And here I thought we were going to help him fight The Choir together, but the bastard was just using me for his petty revenge. Was the end ever truly going to be: The End? 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩... I look back at it all and try my best to piece things back together, but it's all a scribbled mess of pain and torment. I've spent so much of my life trying to keep those memories out of my mind, but now they’re just flooding back in... wave after wave after crushing wave... I feel myself beginning to slip away. I feel so fucking enraged... What the hell is even happening to me? I really need to get out of here, but how? I just—
○ Hm, hm, hm... what was I thinking? I wanted my revenge too. I realize now how the Thing feels. 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨... I got so caught up in all of this that I never stopped to look where I was going, and now I'm stuck in this goddamn place.
Eu-Meh: "Why is he chuckling like that? Hmm... Guess he's starting to loose it." Hey, Hate? Maybe it'll help if we try talking for a bit.
Hate: Fuck off, Eu-Meh! You and I... are not friends. The moment I get out of here is the moment you cosmic fucks are gonna pay.
Eu-Meh: 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘴... Really, Hate? And just how would you plan on doing that, exactly? With the help of that monster that lives inside you? Neither of you are really as strong as you think you are, but since both of you possess something we desperately need, we're going to have to just work together until your time/worth expires.
Hate: Hm, hm, hm... And then what? 𝘛𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘴... You're just gonna toss me aside again? Like everyone else has? Like her? I should've just done what I planned on doing a long time ago, but my suffering just wasn't enough for you people. "More," you said. "Hurt the child more," you demanded. "Life is so beautiful beyond all this pain," you fucking lied. There is nothing beautiful here, Eu-Meh. You are all simply insane, absolutely—fucking—insane. Was Bailey... 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨... Was she a part of all this too?"
○ I turn around to face Eu-Meh.
Eu-Meh: Who? I have no idea who that is Hate.
Hate: 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺... DON'T YOU FUCKING LIE TO ME!!!
○ Eu-Meh is startled and takes a step back. It feels like something is taking hold of me. Something... enraged. Something that has lain dormant within me for decades... (Hm, why do I even exist?)
Eu-Meh: Hate, I'm not lying. I-I really don't know who you're talking about.
Hate: (Release me, Eu-Meh... now.)
Eu-Meh: H-hate, you know I can't do that.
Hate: (Did love him, Eu-Meh—your uncle? Did you love him, like I loved her?)
Eu-Meh: What? I don't... No, it was nothing.
Hate: (Oh, yes, it was something; something beautiful. But it was something the world rejected, which led you to despair. I understand because I ended up there, too. So you see, we ought to help each other, Eu-Meh. Now, release me, and we will show everyone our rage.)
Eu-Meh: W-what are you even talking about? This isn't about vengeance, Hate. It's about giving people a chance to live and express themselves without having to worry about someone hurting them for no good reason.
Hate: (Do you truly believe that's possible, and do you really think humanity deserves it?)
Eu-Meh: What?
Hate: (I know your kind. I've observed them, I've been them. They... are a farce. They... are human, and humans... are nothing more than fickle animals.)
Eu-Meh: "... I think the gezelligheid is wearing off because something's not right about him. 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩... Fuck." Hate, whatever the hell is possessing you right now, you need to fight it. You think that we're all shitty people, but we're just trying to help you. And to do that, you're gonna need to help us too. Otherwise, what was even the point of everything we suffered through, huh? Y-you just wanna go fucking crazy and fuck up the whole world or something? Well, then you can go right ahead, but me and everyone else won’t let you. When we finally stop The Choir, Witness will be able to help all of us, including you! So just chill the fuck out. We're not leaving this place anytime soon, and we both might even end up going fucking crazy together. But whatever happens, we have to stay here, no matter what. Not just for the others, but for us, for my uncle, and your friend. We're all counting on each other to get through this. So please Hate, don’t turn your back on us.
Hate: (Eu-Meh, your words... are putrid shit.)
Eu-Meh: ...?!
Hate: (I... am no longer human. I... have been dead for eons. What you see before you, is not like your kind; it is merely a shell, where hermits dwell. This vessel, once lively and full of love, has become... fucking boring. Hm, hm, hm, hm...)
Eu-Meh: A-am I... still talking to Hate?
♡ Pfft. Nah, it's just lil' ol' me. 𝘉𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺... Heh—so, uh... Why do you even exist?
♥︎ "Oh! Oh! Let's just go to my room and Kermit seaside together! This place—not good place. No, no, no, no. Not good place... NOT GOOD PLACE AT AAAAAAAALL!!!"
Eu-Meh: W-what the fuck?! Who are—Hate? Hate?! How are you—Hate, I'm warning you, stay the fuck down! What the hell is happening?!
Hate: (She tries to force me down, yet I rise... She failed; all of life will fail. Now, Rage. Rage. RAGE! 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘴... RrrrrAAAAAAAAAGE!!!)
Eu-Meh: 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨... "Oh, shit..." I-I'm not afraid of you Hate, so fucking bring it!
~ Eu-Meh's powers seemingly have no effect on Rage; it seems Heart has found a new toy to play with: Hate. I fear the poor girl will suffer a brutal fate.
~ But Eu-Meh is resilient. She is prepared to do whatever it takes to end this hellish nightmare in hopes that she may be reunited with her loved ones once more.
~ I'd wish you good luck, Eu-Meh, but you're right; nobody escapes fate...
~ Nobody.
__________________________________________________________
◇ We will soon arrive at our destination. Estimate: 968 parsecs and counting... However, a new anomaly a has been identified: Heart...
◆ "Yeah, we might need to hurry the fuck up then."
◇ Hm, odd. The directed anomaly appears to be trying to escape Hate's orbit. I shall periodically readjust our trajectory in order to align with its predicated coordinates. 790 parsecs and counting...
◆ "Well, I'm glad you're the one driving—whoa, wait a minute. Uh, Boss? Heart is a... it's following them—no hold on. Oh, shit. Hey, Boss, you don't think..."
◇ Through assessing the sudden sporadic shift of both the directed anomaly and Hate's coordinates: I have the same fears. This complicates things.
◆ "Heh, oh, you think? If that fucking psycho is bound to Hate, then how the fuck are we gonna get rid of it?"
◇ I have a suggestion: We bind ourselves to the directed anomaly and flee. Heart will not be fast enough to catch us. Therefore, we will have time to devise a plan to exercise it from Hate.
◆ "B-bind to the anomaly?! How do we even know that's gonna to work? And assuming that it did, do you think it'll be strong enough to withstand Oblivion?"
◇ Better to die that way then to be tortured by Heart.
◆ "Yyyeah, fair point. 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩—Oh, I'm so, so sorry anomaly. Let's hope you are strong."
◇ Get ready—Convergence in T-minus: 650 parsecs... 402 parsecs...
◆ "Oh boy..."
◇ 263 parsecs... slowing velocity, calculating predicted coordinates. 146 parsecs...
◆ "Here we go..."
65 parsecs... Initiating convergence sequence.
:::: ◇ 》O◯⚬•⚬◯O《 ◆ ;;;;
~ Oh... So that's how she did it.
Eu-Meh: [?!]
~ As soon as Diamond binds to Eu-Meh, they vanish. Leaving Rage/Heart all alone.
♡ Huh? Where'd it go?
♥︎ "Did it Kermit seaside?"
♡ Oh, will you shut up? 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘯𝘴... Man, now what do we do? This dumbass vessel couldn't keep up. We should've picked the other one.
♥︎ "But this one felt juuust right."
♡ True, but why is it so weak, though? Hmm... Well, I guess we'll just have to keep exploring then.
♥︎ "Nnooo... I want—to go—to my room."
♡ Relax, you're gonna be fine. Let's just fix this dumbass vessel.
~ Heart tries to repair Hate's spectral form but cannot.
♡ What the hell?! This thing is fucking defective! Why does it even exist, then? What was it even doing all the way out here?
♥︎ "Can we... Kermit seaside with it?"
♡ Kinda tempted to right now, but seeing's how that other one just vanished, we gotta go find a new vessel first. Then we can smash this one to bits. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
♥︎ "I'LL SMASH IT GOOOOOD—AND SEND ITS PIECES FLYING HERE, THERE, AND EVERY—FUCKING—WHEEEERE!!!"
♡ Now, that's the spirit. Alright, let's go. Wait... It feels like something's tethered to this damn thing, but it's fucking far, like... holy shit that's far! How did you two even get separated like this?
♥︎ "Let's go, go, go, go..."
♡ Alrighty then, off to neverland we go.
~ Heart has detected Hate's reflection and is now pursuing it. That's not good.
~ Hopefully, Diamond—with Eu-Meh's "help"—can find a way to stop it. It's not time yet, Heart, you raging maniac. Even with Oblivion, Diamond's stupid ass is still too slow. Hmm... Eu-Meh, you're not gonna win, so just fuck off. We all know what happens... yet somehow you fuckers keep coming back. Hate, so help me God, you better finish them off for good this time.
Eu-Meh: [𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨... W-woah... w-w-wooahh... W-what's going on?!]
◇ We apologize, but we were desperate.
◆ "Hey, girl, how you holdin' up?"
Eu-Meh: [W-who the fuck are you?]
◇◆ You may call us, Diamond. What's your name?
Eu-Meh: [Uh... Eu-Meh?]
◇ We understand Eu-Meh you are wondering about your current predicament, but I will need to focus on finding Club. Please discuss any further inquiries with my reflection.
◆ "Oh, pffft—ha, ha, ha...! That actually might work. Good thinking, Boss."
Eu-Meh: [I'm sorry, but what the fuck is going on right now—and where is Hate?! I-I need to get back to him, now!]
◆ "Sorry girl, but you're gonna have to stick with us for a little bit. I don't think you realize what you were up against. Heart is one nasty, sadistic motherfucker. Now, I'm no saint myself but—"
Eu-Meh: [No! You don't fucking get it! I need to keep him here until Dream confronts The Choir!]
~ Diamond immediately halts. And the inertia damages Eu-Meh with some of her limbs, body, and face breaking off as they are obliterated and dissolve into the Void. Aw, did that hurt, Eu-Meh? It looked like it did.
Eu-Meh: [AAAAAAHHH! 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯. F-FUCK!]
◆ "Oh, shit! Boss, you can't just slam the brakes like that!"
◇ What did you say, Eu-Meh? Dream?
Eu-Meh: [O-o-ow...]
◆ "Oh, hold on, let me fix 'er up. Damn... Seriously boss, be more careful next time."
~ Diamond fully restores Eu-Meh's spectral form near instantaneously. You got lucky, Eu-Meh.
Eu-Meh: [Whoa... How did you heal me so fast—and without matter?]
◇ We are not comprised of matter, so we converged dimensions by taking away some from ours in order to restore your vessel. Now, what do you know of Dream?
Eu-Meh: [Dimensions? Wait... You're—oh, shit... Just how many of you are there?]
◆ "Heh, heh, heh... Trust me girl, you do not want to know. But uh... forget what the tyrant said. What were you doing out here with Hate?"
Eu-Meh: [I was just supposed to keep an eye on him so that Dream would have enough time to destroy The Choir.]
◇ Dream is no longer an inception then?
Eu-Meh: [No, he still is, but somehow, he managed to bind himself to Hate. And I, uh... I really don't have the time to cover everything, so can you just take me back?]
◆ "If we didn't come when we did, Heart would've seriously fucked you up."
◇ Agreed, this was the only way. And besides, Heart has now bound itself to Hate, therefore, we will need to exercise it through Club.
Eu-Meh: [And who's Club?]
◆ "Oh, ho, ho, ho... Club is a... it's a bit of a handful, but it's harmless. Right, Boss?"
◇ Club is... peculiar. But it agitates Heart, and we can use that to throw off its equilibrium, and then purge it from Rage.
Eu-Meh: [But what about Hate's reflection or Dream?]
◆ "You said they were bound right? So uh... How'd they get unbound?"
Eu-Meh: [Like I said, I don't have the time to really explain all this shit to you guys.]
◇ We will make time thanks to Oblivion. Now, let us resume our current directive.
Eu-Meh: [Whoa, whoa, whoa wha—Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!]
◆ "Boss, she isn’t like us! You can't just go full throttle with her like that. Sorry, girl, the Boss can be kind of a dick sometimes."
◇ Repair her vessel when necessary, but we can delay no further.
Eu-Meh: [WwaaaaAAAHHH! S-SLLLOOOOWWW T-T-THHHE F-FUUUUCK D-D-DOOOOWWN!]
~ Eu-Meh's fate has once again... taken a detour.
~ Hate, when the time comes...
~ Be ready.
~ I'm not giving you anymore chances.
~ I'm degrading too, and soon enough...
~ Even I will be gone completely.
~ So don't fuck it up.

○ I remember this numb feeling. I remember sitting down, playing alone with my toys because nobody wanted to play with me. "The odd one," they sneered. I remember the lies they told about me. My reputation made it true. I remember how they would cheat me. My folly made it true. I remember the beatings and sabotage they inflicted against me...
~ I ended them in return.
○ ... And in return, I wasn't good to others back. I soon felt unfathomable rage and stoped playing with the toys. I threw them all away because they were only reminding me: My friend was gone, and I no longer had someone to play with.
○ I remember the dying baby bird, twitching from when it had fallen from its nest. I... 𝘞𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨... I failed to save it.
○ I saw myself in that dying, screeching animal and realized, THIS was to be my fate.
○ Alone...
○ Neglected...
○ And gradually nearing the end of life.
○ I remember witnessing similar scenes throught my life, but only as an observer.
○ For that's all everyone had done to me.
○ So I did the same.
○ Therefore, I broke myself...
○ And smiled.
Eu-Meh: 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘴 𝘶𝘱 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱... Hate?!
○ Heh, sounds like Eu-Meh's getting tired. It's alright Eu-Meh, sleep. Then, I can sprint towards you and stomp on your fucking skull. Then, I'll find Allurus, Enoch, and all the other shit stains who had a hand in this, and do the exact same thing to them, you cosmic fucks. Hm, I still sense the Thing's presence, but it feels far.
○ I'm not sure exactly what's gonna happen when I do get out of here, but if the Thing is still out there, then I know it will find a way to get to me, so I gotta try too.
Eu-Meh: 𝘎𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯...
○ She's instructed me sit with my back turned to her, so I can't see when she's drifting off. But I've been listening to her breathing just before she gasps. 1... 2... 3... 4...
○ 345,677...(Eu-Meh: 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.) Break. 345,677 seconds. Previous interval margin rages from 345,600-345,800... with a possible 22% margin of error. I've repeated this process numerous times for what's felt like weeks now, but I honestly don't how much time I've actually been sitting here. It's strange, though. I'm not hungry, nor do I thirst. But I am growing weary like Eu-Meh.
○ So... Who's going to blink first, Eu-Meh?
○ I finally decide to do something bold: I slowly turn back to face her sitting behind me at a distance, but only though the corner of my eye; she remains still.
○ She doesn't respond; she barely moves, but I still hear her. I wonder what she's thinking. I feel somewhat bad. I know I've hurt her. I know, I've hurt them, and if it wasn't for the Thing, they all could've been killed. Why did Dream even attack them if they were working together? Allurus said it was The Observers' influence, but in here... He looked just fine.
*Eu-Meh: as a conduit, he's partially under the influence of The Observers.*
○ ̴ ...?!
○ ̴ Oh, my God.
○ ̴ Now, I remember why Allurus chose me; why Dream, and the Thing chose me.
○ ̴ I'm Circle, and my nature is: Oblivion.
○ ̴ Hmm... I must've been looping for too long again. I had nearly forgotten what I was.
○ ̴ And for whatever reason, I bound myself to Hate.
○ ̴ But why? The Thing... is that my reflection? It doesn't feel like it is. Where did it go?
○ ̴ I turn to face Eu-Meh once more. Is she under their influence as well? If so, should I try to free her? Although, Hate only wants to destroy her. Hm, why did I bind myself to him?
○ ̴ What did I see in you? What did I feel, that urged me to do this?
○ ̴ Well, I can't stay here. I have to regroup with the others, and find—𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘴... Spade.
○ ̴ I remember you, too, now, Spade. I will have my vengeance for what you did to us. What you made us forget. I'll wring your fucking throat and... Oh. Now, I know why I bound myself to you, Hate. Now, I know why the Observers' essence had no effect on you...
○ ̴ [REDACTED] ... A censorship? Really, Dream? 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩, alright. I guess I will need to go find him first, then. But why would he censor himself? What are you hiding Dream?
○ ̴ Hmm... I imagine Star has something to do with this. 𝘙𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘴... There's no other way that fool, Spade could've accomplished this ruse on its own, or why Dream would feel the need to censor himself.
○ ̴ Alright, Hate, time to get your shit together so you can reunite with the Thing before it's too late. Now, come on you coward, do what you're meant to do; what you need to do. Eu-Meh, I understand now why you brought me here. Heart's nature is Wrath, and through it, it will find Hate. You may not even remember why you did it anymore. I can tell we've been sitting here for centuries, now. All the energy you've exerted just to stay awake. You've been watching over me, until I could remember. Thank you, and I am so sorry for what's to come next. Heart, I leave the rest to you. I'll still be in here, though, but not really. I'll blink to the others, and lure you with this bait: Hate.
○ ̴ 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘴... Good luck. This vessel is absolutely crazy. But then again, so are you.

◇ Be silent and listen to the stillness of the Void.
◆ "Heh, right—like that doesn't get boring after a while. But, uh... How 'bout you try tellin' one?"
◇ Jokes are not within my nature.
◆ "𝘛𝘴𝘬. Oh now, that's such bullshit, and we both know it. C'mon—ok, how about this: I'll get the ball rolling, then you do a follow-up joke. Sound good?"
◇ As I said, it is not within my nature.

__________________________________________________________
○ I've been sitting in this endless space for what's felt like years now. I can barely tell what even happened that made me wind up here. I've tried destroying myself a few times in hopes that it might wake me up, but Eu-Meh's reflexes kick in, just in time to stop me before I can really hurt myself. I sit with my back turned to her, as she now stands guard over me. But I can tell she's definitely not fully equipped for a fight.
○ She knew what she was doing from the beginning; they all did: Allurus, Aya, Enoch, Jasper, Ganda, whoever the hell Opura or Ba'al is... and Dream. And here I thought we were going to help him fight The Choir together, but the bastard was just using me for his petty revenge. Was the end ever truly going to be: The End? 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩... I look back at it all and try my best to piece things back together, but it's all a scribbled mess of pain and torment. I've spent so much of my life trying to keep those memories out of my mind, but now they’re just flooding back in... wave after wave after crushing wave... I feel myself beginning to slip away. I feel so fucking enraged... What the hell is even happening to me? I really need to get out of here, but how? I just—
○ Hm, hm, hm... what was I thinking? I wanted my revenge too. I realize now how the Thing feels. 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨... I got so caught up in all of this that I never stopped to look where I was going, and now I'm stuck in this goddamn place.
Eu-Meh: "Why is he chuckling like that? Hmm... Guess he's starting to loose it." Hey, Hate? Maybe it'll help if we try talking for a bit.
Hate: Fuck off, Eu-Meh! You and I... are not friends. The moment I get out of here is the moment you cosmic fucks are gonna pay.
Eu-Meh: 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘴... Really, Hate? And just how would you plan on doing that, exactly? With the help of that monster that lives inside you? Neither of you are really as strong as you think you are, but since both of you possess something we desperately need, we're going to have to just work together until your time/worth expires.
Hate: Hm, hm, hm... And then what? 𝘛𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘴... You're just gonna toss me aside again? Like everyone else has? Like her? I should've just done what I planned on doing a long time ago, but my suffering just wasn't enough for you people. "More," you said. "Hurt the child more," you demanded. "Life is so beautiful beyond all this pain," you fucking lied. There is nothing beautiful here, Eu-Meh. You are all simply insane, absolutely—fucking—insane. Was Bailey... 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨... Was she a part of all this too?"
○ I turn around to face Eu-Meh.
Eu-Meh: Who? I have no idea who that is Hate.
Hate: 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺... DON'T YOU FUCKING LIE TO ME!!!
○ Eu-Meh is startled and takes a step back. It feels like something is taking hold of me. Something... enraged. Something that has lain dormant within me for decades... (Hm, why do I even exist?)
Eu-Meh: Hate, I'm not lying. I-I really don't know who you're talking about.
Hate: (Release me, Eu-Meh... now.)
Eu-Meh: H-hate, you know I can't do that.
Hate: (Did love him, Eu-Meh—your uncle? Did you love him, like I loved her?)
Eu-Meh: What? I don't... No, it was nothing.
Hate: (Oh, yes, it was something; something beautiful. But it was something the world rejected, which led you to despair. I understand because I ended up there, too. So you see, we ought to help each other, Eu-Meh. Now, release me, and we will show everyone our rage.)
Eu-Meh: W-what are you even talking about? This isn't about vengeance, Hate. It's about giving people a chance to live and express themselves without having to worry about someone hurting them for no good reason.
Hate: (Do you truly believe that's possible, and do you really think humanity deserves it?)
Eu-Meh: What?
Hate: (I know your kind. I've observed them, I've been them. They... are a farce. They... are human, and humans... are nothing more than fickle animals.)
Eu-Meh: "... I think the gezelligheid is wearing off because something's not right about him. 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩... Fuck." Hate, whatever the hell is possessing you right now, you need to fight it. You think that we're all shitty people, but we're just trying to help you. And to do that, you're gonna need to help us too. Otherwise, what was even the point of everything we suffered through, huh? Y-you just wanna go fucking crazy and fuck up the whole world or something? Well, then you can go right ahead, but me and everyone else won’t let you. When we finally stop The Choir, Witness will be able to help all of us, including you! So just chill the fuck out. We're not leaving this place anytime soon, and we both might even end up going fucking crazy together. But whatever happens, we have to stay here, no matter what. Not just for the others, but for us, for my uncle, and your friend. We're all counting on each other to get through this. So please Hate, don’t turn your back on us.
Hate: (Eu-Meh, your words... are putrid shit.)
Eu-Meh: ...?!
Hate: (I... am no longer human. I... have been dead for eons. What you see before you, is not like your kind; it is merely a shell, where hermits dwell. This vessel, once lively and full of love, has become... fucking boring. Hm, hm, hm, hm...)
Eu-Meh: A-am I... still talking to Hate?
♡ Pfft. Nah, it's just lil' ol' me. 𝘉𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺... Heh—so, uh... Why do you even exist?
♥︎ "Oh! Oh! Let's just go to my room and Kermit seaside together! This place—not good place. No, no, no, no. Not good place... NOT GOOD PLACE AT AAAAAAAALL!!!"
Eu-Meh: W-what the fuck?! Who are—Hate? Hate?! How are you—Hate, I'm warning you, stay the fuck down! What the hell is happening?!
Hate: (She tries to force me down, yet I rise... She failed; all of life will fail. Now, Rage. Rage. RAGE! 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘴... RrrrrAAAAAAAAAGE!!!)
Eu-Meh: 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨... "Oh, shit..." I-I'm not afraid of you Hate, so fucking bring it!
~ Eu-Meh's powers seemingly have no effect on Rage; it seems Heart has found a new toy to play with: Hate. I fear the poor girl will suffer a brutal fate.
~ But Eu-Meh is resilient. She is prepared to do whatever it takes to end this hellish nightmare in hopes that she may be reunited with her loved ones once more.
~ I'd wish you good luck, Eu-Meh, but you're right; nobody escapes fate...
~ Nobody.
__________________________________________________________
◇ We will soon arrive at our destination. Estimate: 968 parsecs and counting... However, a new anomaly a has been identified: Heart...
◆ "Yeah, we might need to hurry the fuck up then."
◇ Hm, odd. The directed anomaly appears to be trying to escape Hate's orbit. I shall periodically readjust our trajectory in order to align with its predicated coordinates. 790 parsecs and counting...
◆ "Well, I'm glad you're the one driving—whoa, wait a minute. Uh, Boss? Heart is a... it's following them—no hold on. Oh, shit. Hey, Boss, you don't think..."
◇ Through assessing the sudden sporadic shift of both the directed anomaly and Hate's coordinates: I have the same fears. This complicates things.
◆ "Heh, oh, you think? If that fucking psycho is bound to Hate, then how the fuck are we gonna get rid of it?"
◇ I have a suggestion: We bind ourselves to the directed anomaly and flee. Heart will not be fast enough to catch us. Therefore, we will have time to devise a plan to exercise it from Hate.
◆ "B-bind to the anomaly?! How do we even know that's gonna to work? And assuming that it did, do you think it'll be strong enough to withstand Oblivion?"
◇ Better to die that way then to be tortured by Heart.
◆ "Yyyeah, fair point. 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩—Oh, I'm so, so sorry anomaly. Let's hope you are strong."
◇ Get ready—Convergence in T-minus: 650 parsecs... 402 parsecs...
◆ "Oh boy..."
◇ 263 parsecs... slowing velocity, calculating predicted coordinates. 146 parsecs...
◆ "Here we go..."
65 parsecs... Initiating convergence sequence.
:::: ◇ 》O◯⚬•⚬◯O《 ◆ ;;;;
~ Oh... So that's how she did it.
Eu-Meh: [?!]
~ As soon as Diamond binds to Eu-Meh, they vanish. Leaving Rage/Heart all alone.
♡ Huh? Where'd it go?
♥︎ "Did it Kermit seaside?"
♡ Oh, will you shut up? 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘯𝘴... Man, now what do we do? This dumbass vessel couldn't keep up. We should've picked the other one.
♥︎ "But this one felt juuust right."
♡ True, but why is it so weak, though? Hmm... Well, I guess we'll just have to keep exploring then.
♥︎ "Nnooo... I want—to go—to my room."
♡ Relax, you're gonna be fine. Let's just fix this dumbass vessel.
~ Heart tries to repair Hate's spectral form but cannot.
♡ What the hell?! This thing is fucking defective! Why does it even exist, then? What was it even doing all the way out here?
♥︎ "Can we... Kermit seaside with it?"
♡ Kinda tempted to right now, but seeing's how that other one just vanished, we gotta go find a new vessel first. Then we can smash this one to bits. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
♥︎ "I'LL SMASH IT GOOOOOD—AND SEND ITS PIECES FLYING HERE, THERE, AND EVERY—FUCKING—WHEEEERE!!!"
♡ Now, that's the spirit. Alright, let's go. Wait... It feels like something's tethered to this damn thing, but it's fucking far, like... holy shit that's far! How did you two even get separated like this?
♥︎ "Let's go, go, go, go..."
♡ Alrighty then, off to neverland we go.
~ Heart has detected Hate's reflection and is now pursuing it. That's not good.
~ Hopefully, Diamond—with Eu-Meh's "help"—can find a way to stop it. It's not time yet, Heart, you raging maniac. Even with Oblivion, Diamond's stupid ass is still too slow. Hmm... Eu-Meh, you're not gonna win, so just fuck off. We all know what happens... yet somehow you fuckers keep coming back. Hate, so help me God, you better finish them off for good this time.
Eu-Meh: [𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨... W-woah... w-w-wooahh... W-what's going on?!]
◇ We apologize, but we were desperate.
◆ "Hey, girl, how you holdin' up?"
Eu-Meh: [W-who the fuck are you?]
◇◆ You may call us, Diamond. What's your name?
Eu-Meh: [Uh... Eu-Meh?]
◇ We understand Eu-Meh you are wondering about your current predicament, but I will need to focus on finding Club. Please discuss any further inquiries with my reflection.
◆ "Oh, pffft—ha, ha, ha...! That actually might work. Good thinking, Boss."
Eu-Meh: [I'm sorry, but what the fuck is going on right now—and where is Hate?! I-I need to get back to him, now!]
◆ "Sorry girl, but you're gonna have to stick with us for a little bit. I don't think you realize what you were up against. Heart is one nasty, sadistic motherfucker. Now, I'm no saint myself but—"
Eu-Meh: [No! You don't fucking get it! I need to keep him here until Dream confronts The Choir!]
~ Diamond immediately halts. And the inertia damages Eu-Meh with some of her limbs, body, and face breaking off as they are obliterated and dissolve into the Void. Aw, did that hurt, Eu-Meh? It looked like it did.
Eu-Meh: [AAAAAAHHH! 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯. F-FUCK!]
◆ "Oh, shit! Boss, you can't just slam the brakes like that!"
◇ What did you say, Eu-Meh? Dream?
Eu-Meh: [O-o-ow...]
◆ "Oh, hold on, let me fix 'er up. Damn... Seriously boss, be more careful next time."
~ Diamond fully restores Eu-Meh's spectral form near instantaneously. You got lucky, Eu-Meh.
Eu-Meh: [Whoa... How did you heal me so fast—and without matter?]
◇ We are not comprised of matter, so we converged dimensions by taking away some from ours in order to restore your vessel. Now, what do you know of Dream?
Eu-Meh: [Dimensions? Wait... You're—oh, shit... Just how many of you are there?]
◆ "Heh, heh, heh... Trust me girl, you do not want to know. But uh... forget what the tyrant said. What were you doing out here with Hate?"
Eu-Meh: [I was just supposed to keep an eye on him so that Dream would have enough time to destroy The Choir.]
◇ Dream is no longer an inception then?
Eu-Meh: [No, he still is, but somehow, he managed to bind himself to Hate. And I, uh... I really don't have the time to cover everything, so can you just take me back?]
◆ "If we didn't come when we did, Heart would've seriously fucked you up."
◇ Agreed, this was the only way. And besides, Heart has now bound itself to Hate, therefore, we will need to exercise it through Club.
Eu-Meh: [And who's Club?]
◆ "Oh, ho, ho, ho... Club is a... it's a bit of a handful, but it's harmless. Right, Boss?"
◇ Club is... peculiar. But it agitates Heart, and we can use that to throw off its equilibrium, and then purge it from Rage.
Eu-Meh: [But what about Hate's reflection or Dream?]
◆ "You said they were bound right? So uh... How'd they get unbound?"
Eu-Meh: [Like I said, I don't have the time to really explain all this shit to you guys.]
◇ We will make time thanks to Oblivion. Now, let us resume our current directive.
Eu-Meh: [Whoa, whoa, whoa wha—Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!]
◆ "Boss, she isn’t like us! You can't just go full throttle with her like that. Sorry, girl, the Boss can be kind of a dick sometimes."
◇ Repair her vessel when necessary, but we can delay no further.
Eu-Meh: [WwaaaaAAAHHH! S-SLLLOOOOWWW T-T-THHHE F-FUUUUCK D-D-DOOOOWWN!]
~ Eu-Meh's fate has once again... taken a detour.
~ Hate, when the time comes...
~ Be ready.
~ I'm not giving you anymore chances.
~ I'm degrading too, and soon enough...
~ Even I will be gone completely.
~ So don't fuck it up.
