Lately, you'd been fed up with everything. Fed up with work, fed up with people, fed up with the world. You were fed up with it all.

And you were planning to do what any grown-up, self-respecting person would do: spend the weekend alone, wrapped in a blanket and crying while eating ice cream.

And the idea sounded great, until you came up with an idea to make the weekend even better. You remembered the existence of your partner, Betrayed 1x4, and so you felt it was your duty to drag him along, which you did.

Tightly wrapped in pink, spotted blankets, 1x4 sat awkwardly next to you on the bed, unsure of what to do with himself. In front of you was a TV on, playing some nonsense about colorful ponies, which, for the hacker's taste, was too often filled with nonsense about friendship and miracles.

1x1x1x1 carefully shifted the glowing red eyes from the screen to you, pressed against their side, tear-stained, eating ice cream straight from the bucket.

1x4 was far from human, so the word "period" meant nothing to him. Which wasn't surprising, since no one had taught him about the female reproductive system, and her knowledge of human biology was at a first-grade level.

All he understood from your stories was that your uterus hadn't been fertilized this month, so now it was peeling something off, causing you pain and sadness. Which sounded like complete, flat-earth-level nonsense to them, but 1x couldn't help but smell a strange scent mixed with blood emanating from you.

And she knew enough about humans to know that bleeding wasn't a good thing. And that kept them there, like a sponge for tears, forced to watch a stupid pony show.

However, Betrayed's dramatic nature and tendency to complain and despise everything around him never went away, so finally, after another episode, they grumbled.

[1🥚] - "This is so awfully humiliating... Thousands of years trapped in a void of Shedletsky's mind, and all for what...?"

Looking tiredly at you again, the demigod said.

[1🥚] - "Human mortal creature, let's please change the channel." - it was the first time you've ever heard him say "please" at all.
