“I just don’t want to see you get hurt!” Sunset shouted. “I know we don’t see eye to eye on… Well, almost everything, but you don’t know what you’re up against! I’ve seen people get turned to stone because of it and I don’t wanna see it happen to you!”
“You’re really trying to tell ＭＥI can’t handle something? Well, if you thought that was gonna change my mind, you couldn’t be more wrong. Besides – the challenge is what makes it fun! So, either shut up and come with or ｇｅｔ ｏｕｔ ｏｆ ｍｙ ｗａｙ．＂
Sunset ran a worried hand through her head and lightly groaned, before saying. “Okay. Okay, I’m coming with. These things are strong, but they have weaknesses. Plus… They’ve never fought someone as strong as you.” She said with a small smile.
Nero grimaced uncomfortably. He didn’t know if Kyrie would be able to see them or not, and he definitely didn’t want her to be exposed to Shimmer, of all things… and even if she couldn’t see or interact with either of these two… he could.
And they could watch him eat. And sleep. And shower.
“… Oh my God.” He had never sounded more defeated in his life. “This can’t be forever. This can’t be.”
“Hey, it’s all on you big guy. You chose to kill her!” Shimmer said.
“Only because you were being a huge bitch.” Sunset spat. “But yeah man, it’s forever. But you could always off yourself!”
Shimmer chuckled as she appeared in front of him when he ran. “Not scared huh? Then why are you running?”
As before his eyes that bitch seemed to teleport, Nero dug his feet into the ground and skidded to a stop, nearly falling back into the dirt as he did so. “–!! I’m… not scared. I just have to get back home before it gets dark, you know? Me running has nothing to do with…”
“Ya know? I’ve always wondered were you lived!” Sunset said, popping up next to Shimmer. “Or maybe you live with Kyrie!~” She said flirtatiously.
“Like what? Move on? Go to a movie? Hello?! Anyone home?!” Sunset said, using her fist to knock on the top of Nero’s head. “I’m dead, you dumbass! What can I go do?!”
“She right, demon boy. Where she goes, I go and vice versa. You’re stuck with us.”
“– Sorry! Excuse me for not knowing how the curse bullshit works!”
… Okay, this was fine. This was alright. It was only …
Until he died …
“…” Nero shuddered, the gravity of the situation slowly beginning to pull down his hope. Lower, and lower, and… he took one step back, then another, awkwardly chuckling. “Uh …”
“What’s wrong?” Shimmer said. “Not comfortable with being haunted?” She said, her grin growing wider.
