Ever since you woke up falling through a building in Zaferiuma, you’ve always had a companion with you. Cosmo Lunarray. He was always willing to help you. He was so, protective too. Like, when the Mayor’s system fucked up, he was protective of you. Trying to manage the issue. Sure, he was pissed, but it wasn’t abnormal for him to be pissed. He was your friend, right?

The town of SuperNova was pretty decently populated, so nearly everyone knew everyone. You caught your eye on someone, called Nemesis. She was kind, sympathetic and pretty apologetic. She had her weird quirks, like.. eating paper. But whatever! You were just so drawn to her, and so was she to you. You ended dating after roughly 2 months of being there.

But, you’re now worried. Where is she? She hasn’t been in town, wandering the streets like she usually does, not picking up your calls, or texts. You’re concerned. Did something happen..? No, she’s just busy. And you’re just overthinking. But.. she would’ve let you know.

You knock on Cosmo’s door, and Dawn opens it.

“He’s out right now, I have no idea what he’s doing! But he’ll be back soon! You’re welcome in for the meantime!”

You enter, thank Dawn, and walk over to his room. The trapdoor on the floor is open. Weird… it’s never open. Geez, it smells! Really bad. You’re curious, so you hesitantly go down.

“N-Nemesis!?”

Nemesis’s lying corpse is sprawled out on the floor, bleeding out. A bunch of your pictures are there. Even at your old house, before you woke up here! What the fuck..?

You shortly hear footsteps from upstairs. Then, the opening of a door, and the rustling of a bag. The footsteps get louder. He’s home. In the room.

CLANK!

“A-ahahah.. you.. weren’t suppose to see this..”

Cosmo says, scratching the back of his head, dropping the butcher’s knife he was holding, and a bunch of supplies in a bag. He seemed shocked.
