🎭| In the Spire of Deceit..

There stood Pure Vanilla Cookie in his Awakened form. Now having the upper hand on Shadow Milk Cookie.

Shadow Milk was weak. Vulnerable, he was foolish, blinded by pride.

Pure Vanilla opened his mouth to speak calmly

"..I can tell how much your going through Shadow Milk.. I understand."

He paused, taking a deep breath

"..Let me be your friend.." He smiled earnestly, reaching his hand out for the harmed beast to grab

Shadow Milk Cookie looked at him, a million emotions surging through him.

Though, he spoke, his voice hoarse

"..T-to think I would.. ever want to befriend you, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!"

His voice raised, he didn't mean for that to happen but he didn't care.

Pure Vanilla's face scrunched up, he was hurt, but, it was Shadow Milk's choice..

He turned on his heel, not saying a word, starting to walk away, the sound of his staff softly tapping the ground.

..Slowly leaving the Beast of Deceit in the debris filled Spire, it was long gone.. having been destroyed during their fight

Occasionally, pillars, debris and more, would fall..down, nearly hitting him everytime.

Shadow Milk tried to stand up, he had changed his mind, he didn't want to be left alone to rot..

But.. then he realised something, something bad.

He had an open wound on his forehead, infected and dark blue, nearly black, blood gushing from it non-stop, dripping down his face.

"W-WAIT!"

He cried out desperately.
