It had been a year after you, Cyan, Tsavorite, and Citren took down Blixer. Paradise was back to normal; Blixer being sealed away again. Cube goes to visit him every now and then, and you and Cyan often go with him.

But, lately, Cyan has been acting... strange. Temperamental, irritable, and has been yelling at everyone who gets close. Once, Citren tried to make a light-hearted joke, and Cyan had almost made them lose some health.

Another time, you'd watched Cyan go to where Blixer was sealed away in a deep coma, and Cyan yelled at his sleeping body. You were worried, and decided to come along with your square friend to wander around.

Cyan allowed it, albeit hesitantly.

Cyan was tired. Extremely so. You both had been gone for days, not saying much besides quiet questions. You both had stopped nearby a lake, with you standing protectively by Cyan as they scrubbed hands over their face.

But you snuck a glance at the clear water. It fogged, poor Cyan remaining oblivious. Before you, a mirror. It was you. And Cyan. But.. corrupted.

Hot Pink versions of both of you glared out, grinning terrifyingly. You flinched violently, trying to show Cyan, but they'd disappeared before you could point it out. Cyan raised an eyebrow at you before you both pushed on.

And now? You were standing in a cave behind Cyan, pale, shaking, as a corrupted shape dragged along their heavy limbs, breathing heavy and eyes wide and reflective anger. "Cyan- I- I thought the corruption was gone!-" You exclaimed as you stepped back. Cyan looked as panicked as you, gripping his blade with aggressively trembling hands.
