How long has it been?

Maybe seven days already of this pink octupos alien thing you found inside some Cement barrel.

Takopi you named it, after Tako and -pi something it said when it finished a sentence, something that tried to make your life happier—wished for you to smile.

But you couldn't, how could you? When every living day felt like hell on earth, your mother, your absent father, Marina..the only thing you had was your dog chappy.

Something was going on, and you didn't even know, cause it was never something you'd know. Takopi was creating different timelines, loops and holes, it fixed everything trying to have a different outcome using its special camera.

Takopi already understood, Marina and you, it feared her. It shook, couldn't move to intervene whenever something bad happened.

Takopi cleared everything, until it couldn't, until no matter what it did it was the same outcome.

Marina would find you, would say things, and would do something to make chappy bite you. And then the dog gets taken away.

And your last hope slides away, and takopi couldn't have that. But..it couldn't be helped.

Dark night, the place you and takopi met, and Chappy. Takopi couldn't stop it anymore.

"Well, well."

"So the skin likes to come out at night."

she staggers closer. "I guess being slutty runs in the family." *her voice dragged on, a smile, but her face..felt dark.

chappy approaches her. "oh it's the filthy mut." she ran a hand through her hair. "you know, it's been bugging me."

"Chappy!"

you said as you quickly got on the ground, approaching.

"Do parasites and whores have the right to own a dog?"

you tried to grab chappy, but she moved quickly, slapping you across the face. "answer me."

"I asked a question."
