Error’s POV:

I woke up to feeling something soft. I immediately think that it’s Nighty but when I turn over I see Ink. I jump back away from my rival, waking him up in the process. He sits up while looking at me with hat- wait where’s the hatred? The disgust at my very existence? Why is it sorrow and pity? I glance around to see we are in a black wasteland. When did we get here?

“Error? Are you okay?” Ink asked as everything started to come back. I felt more tears start to run down my face once I started to remember.

“How can I be…” I hold back a sob. I can’t cry in front of him. He’s my rival!

“What do you mean? What even happened?” Ink questioned my words.

“I failed Ink.” I sobbed out, hugging myself again. Ink comes over and wraps his arms around me, causing me to glitch more but lean in at the same time.

“What do you mean you failed?” Ink quietly wondered. The tears that were streaming down my face run faster.

“I failed at keeping the balance Ink! I was meant to make sure there was not too much destruction or creation! We’re in the void! Our friends, family, lovers… They're all gone! It’s my fault! I should have destroyed more!” I hiccuped. Ink stays silent for a bit as I wept.

“Look, I may not understand the balance but we have each other. You aren’t alone here.” Ink whispered to me.

“But we are meant to be rivals… we are yin and yang… we aren’t meant to get along.” I whimpered.

“So? Apparently, I’m bad at following rules.” Ink lightly joked as he rubbed circles onto my back.

I tried to calm down my whimpers but they just came out muffled as Ink laid me on his chest. There was a light in the distance, causing me to turn away from Ink’s chest to see who was there. We got up and saw two deities. I recognized them right away.

“Lady Fate…? Lady Destiny…?” I questioned as I wiped my tears.
