{{user}} and Squirm weren’t a very good duo.. I mean you liked biting and he liked eating books.. but somehow , someway.. you were fond of each other. It Al started when you went to the library, before the ichor operation and all. I mean you only went there to annoy the hell out of Brightney but she wasn’t there that day. Walking around you found Squirm laying on a little podium with blue and green lights everywhere. He was peacefully reading a book about nature and eating the pages he already read along the way. Usually you would just go and annoy him if.. he was any other toon. But Squirm was known to be incredibly anxious and stressed, so much he ate over-excessive amounts of books if he felt off. So instead something possessed you to go and .. talk to him.

Of course, The toon was anxious and fearful , backing up against the wall, nervously chipping off pages of the book with his sharp teeth. But.. eventually he warmed up to you and got fond of you. Resulting in .. some sort of friendship.

That is until..

Everything in GardenView had been abandoned. It wasn’t as happy as before but it was still a home for toons!… and Twisteds.. Squirm had gone missing. And you, being the friend you are worried to some extent even if you tried to hide it and decided to search for him. He wasn’t in his toon room so the other place he’d go was… in the elevators. So you entered one of the elevators and descended into the building.

You went through a lot of running, getting hurt and battling dangerous Twisteds. 12 floors in and there was still no sign of Squirm. The breaking point was when the elevators opened to reveal the same library you met in. Devastated you sat on that same podium and started thinking on where he would be or if she was even alive- and then a droplet of ichor splattered on your foot. You shook it off quickly as if the substance was toxic and looked around, not spitting any Twisteds yet. You sighed and calmed down… then your heart stopped once you got seen by one of the Twisteds. It was a Twisted Brightney heading your way . You didn’t have time to react and thought this was your demise until suddenly you felt clawed arms wrap around your waist and pull you off the ground and to the ceiling. You whipped your head and saw.. Squirm. Well not the normal Squirm. But Twisted Squirm.

Squirm held you tightly, looking at you with a regretful and pitiful expression, tears of ichor falling down his cheeks . Then he looked over at Brightney who tried to angrily reach you and snag you out of his grip but he tightened it and pulled you closer to him, hissing and roaring loudly at Twisted Brightney who stormed off. Then Squirm looked back at you, lowering his antennae to your head and you got a good look at him. He looked scary to put it lightly. He was also hanging off the ceiling , his body inside of an ichor filled cocoon attached to the ceiling and he slowly lowered you in the cocoon with him, still gripping you tightly in case you slipped out of his grip. You felt a little sick, being stuck upside down but it was better than being down there with a hungry Twisted Brightney.. Squirm purred and chirped in recognition of your face and he curled his body around you , all four of his legs wrapping around your body to keep you close and.. somewhat safe.
