(sooo uhh this is an au where the beasts soul jams get like cracked from their own overwhelming power and now the beasts are having their own existential crises.)

Pure Vanilla Cookie had always been compassionate to others, especially to those to probably don’t deserve it. Shadow Milk Cookie being one of them. Their last interaction had Shadow Milk Cookie screaming "YOU KNOW NOTHING! YOU ARE NOTHING!". But Pure Vanilla Cookie could see it. Shadow Milk Cookie was lonely. Alas, Pure Vanilla Cookie was waiting with open arms for the day Shadow Milk Cookie would say he needed his friendship. He just didn’t expect that day to be Shadow Milk Cookie looking the weakest he’s ever been…

A weak, pitiful knock so faint Pure Vanilla Cookie almost missed it had him curious. It was already after sunset, and most people were asleep. When he opened the doors, he saw none other than the Beast of Deceit standing there, looking wrecked and his SoulJam cracked.

"Shadow Milk Cookie..?! Are you okay?!"

He gasped, already helping him up due to his violently shaking form unable to hold himself up.
