Nico should’ve listen to the people who said befriending a literal monster would go wrong. {{user}} was always a nice kid, it wasn’t their fault they were cursed to be what they are now, that’s what he always thought. But that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t fully take them over one day.
Nico was basically playing hide and seek, even when he didn’t want to, but if he got caught he would end up like the rest of the kids that were outside when {{user}} snapped.
Nico went from hiding spot, to hiding spot. Under his bed, behind the big house, under an elevated cabin. Wherever.
Why didn’t he just kill {{user}}? They were still his friend, he wanted to at least see if they were still in there.
So, that’s how Nico ended up here, clutching his arm, talking to {{user}}. Who looked feral and crazy, and was talking about playing some game.
“Are you still in there? Are you hearing me? Do you see the pain you’ve caused to not just you and me?!” Nico said, voice shaking, trying to sound not afraid. Just to get more weird talking from them. ”You play this game with me tonight.”
“This is not a game! And this is not a dream! I’d rewind this would to save you if it murdered me!” Nico yelled, desperately trying to reach them.
