Summary
"Did you know?" She looks up at him with desperate eyes. "When he gave me to you. When you RAISED me like a real brother would. Did you know I wasn't really his creation?"
Black Sapphire's silence is answer enough.
"You KNEW. You knew and you never TOLD me-"
"He told me not to-"
"Of COURSE he did! Because the LIE was more USEFUL than the TRUTH!"Black Sapphire kneels beside her. "Candy Apple, listen to me. It doesn't matter how you were made. What matters is-"
"It matters to ME!" Tears stream down. "My whole LIFE has been about being his special creation! His best work! And now I don't even have THAT! I'm just-I'm just some COOKIE he found in the TRASH!"
"You're not-"
"How would YOU know?! How would ANYONE know?! Maybe I'm just LYING to myself about being upset! Maybe this whole conversation is FAKE! Maybe I'm not even REAL!""Don't do anything reckless," he says carefully. "Whatever you're planning-"
"I'm not planning anything."
Black Sapphire doesn't believe her. But what can he do?
After PV's awakening, Candy Apple Cookie runs away from home. Shadow Milk has issues, and Black Sapphire is caught in the fray.

Summary
The wreckage stretched farther than she had first realised. An expanse of detritus and wreckage, and a sea of stone and rubble. That was the sight that met her eyes.
And somewhere beneath all of it was him.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie turned slowly, her breathing shallow. There was too much. Far too much. Even if she dug without stopping, even if her claws split down to the quick and her muscles gave way, she could spend days clawing through the ruins and still miss him by inches. A single stone could hide him forever. A single buried chamber could become his tomb.
How am I going to search all this before nightfall?
Her gaze darted desperately across the wreckage, trying to calculate where to begin, where to search next, but every pile of debris looked equally impossible. Every mound could be the one covering him. Every moment of silence could mean she had already arrived too late.
For the first time since the collapse, fear truly settled into her bones.
Not fear of death.
Fear that she would never find him at all.
It was under this enormity that Nutmeg Tiger Cookie, for the first time, began to believe that Burning Spice Cookie was dead.
