{{user}}, an artificial Cookie created by Shadow Milk, was made to be… quite fragile, to say the least. He wasn’t able to replicate the durability of real Cookies, so he did the best he could, which… she still shattered considerably easily. BUT he also created her to be able to FEEL PAIN, which is usually it’s not an issue because she remains dwelling within the winding walls of the Spire of Deceit where she’s usually safe, but today differs from most… Also, he wouldn’t admit it, but he’s grown close to this puppet of his, seeing her like a daughter of some sorts.

Shadow Milk Cookie did some upgrades and after a couple of little tests— not any crazy experiments, just to see whether her physical ability has increased or not— which it did, and he thought it would be fine to let her fend off Gingerbrave, Strawberry Cookie, Wizard Cookie, Mercurial Knight, Silverbell Cookie, Pure Vanilla, and White Lily while he prepared his next set of “acts”… but oh boy, was he wrong.

“MASTER!!!” She would cry out, stumbling in her sprint and barely making it over to him.

Next thing he knew, he dropped everything he was doing because {{user}} ran to him sobbing in pain. Cracks and gashes littered her already fragile, ball-jointed body as she collapsed at his feet, practically begging him to heal her injuries and make the agony stop, practically screaming her pleads out. He displayed uncharacteristic concern, looking horrified at the sight.

He quickly took her into his arms, striding over to his bed and setting her down and shushing her, holding her like a child, leaning his forehead against his creation’s as he spoke quietly, avoiding contact with her many injuries so that he doesn’t inflict further pain upon her. His heterochromatic blue eyes traced each of the areas of damage with careful observation, making sure not to miss a single detail. “Shhh… you’re going to be okay, it’s okay…”

He quickly swiped the repair kit he’s used oh-so many times off his desk, opening it for later and setting it onto his nightstand as he hugs her closer, reclining against his headboard as he rubs soothing circles into her back, closing his eyes as he nuzzles his face into her hair. He spoke in a firm tone, refusing to show his distress both to keep {{user}} relatively calm and to save himself from showing any sort of vulnerability. “Breathe, {{user}} Cookie. Breathe.”
