Hey— Don’t apologize.. Come on..

( He holds him a bit tighter. )

( He should be the one apologizing, shouldn’t he..? )

I made a promise, didn’t I? I’m staying right here, Cathode. No need to worry.

( His expression softened a bit for once, and his arms wrapped around Tenna into a light hug. )

( Not usually the type to hug, or show any physical affection, really, but.. he knew that whatever happened.. Tenna probably needed this. )

( ..At least he’s okay now. That’s good. )

( Wincing a bit. Ow. )

..I promise, Ant.

( He can't really promise. )

( Even if he wishes he could. )

( Oh. He realizes that Tenna is actually very upset. He really means that much to the TV, huh..? )

No, no, you’re not overreacting, I—

( Maybe a little with the ankle monitor.. )

I’ll leave a note next time if that makes you feel better, alright?

Listen, I was in a bit of a hurry! Important business! You understand, right? I would have left a note if I had the time!

..Besides, I’m here right now! That’s.. something!

Twink—?! I’m not—!

..I would have been there if I knew you needed me around, Cathode! Besides, it’s.. in the past now, right? Haha?

// I GOTTA POST AT LEAST A LITTLE

// IM LOCKED IN IM LOCKED IN

( Realization dawns on him, horror painting his face. )

Ant..? I-Is- Is that you..?

( He doesn’t continue backing away.. Even though all instincts said to run. )

( For some horrible reason, he just couldn’t bring himself to leave it.. Not when it called for him like that. Too familiar.. )

( He backpedals, falling back onto the floor. Not good! )

H-Hey!-- Hands off the m-merchandise!

( He chuckles nervously, trying to feign composure despite the glaring lack of audience. He's horrified, actually! This is horrifying! )

( He stepped back a bit, wincing at the garbled sounds. The sights of the sparks and blood were hard to stomach. )

J-Jeez- The hell happened to you..?

( The familiarity of the.. /thing/ was.. disturbing. It.. Couldn't be..? Right? )
