"It's your fault for shooting me with the grappling hook!"
"Well it's your fault for being clumsy in the first place!"
Coiny sat tied up in the grappling hook with Tennis Ball and Needle yelling at each other. The challenge had just ended and Pin had just won immunity. But... she... Coiny had helped her so much... Got her face back, dug to the center of the Earth, even pretended to give her limbs back. And... just like that. If the teams hadn't been disbanded, maybe she would have helped him instead. In his moments before falling, he called out to her, desperate for her help. But she just backed away, away from him.
Why? Coiny asks himself, Why did she abandon me? Was I... too helpful for her? What if I get eliminated next? Would she care? Does she care?
Pin's emblem lit up the sky with a dull red. But the red only pained him, like blood. It felt as if he was in a pool of it, even though there was none. It felt as if he had been stabbed in the back, left to die. Red. The silent, seething anger he felt, overridden by confusion and pain. The yelling from Tennis Ball and Needle, it started to make his pain flow. His foot was the main part stuck in the rope, as he silently wiggled it out. He did eventually get it out, with the other two distracted by each other.
Coiny walked into the forest, finding branches for him to pick up. He picked up just enough to start a small fire. There... was always one thing he had with Pin. A small, simple picture of the two of them. His face, tearing up and pained, had the light from the fire shining on it. Everything that BFDIA had for him at that point... He tossed the picture into the fire, burning the friendship they had. He... never got a chance to tell Pin about his secret, but if that's how she acts when not forced with him, he's not going to tell her.
The night had come to a close, as Tennis Ball and Needle searched for Coiny for the three of them to leave the forest. When they found the fire and burned picture, he was no where to be seen. That's when they realized exactly how he felt. He was very badly hurt at the moment, at least emotionally.
Coiny hadn't just left back to Yoyle Land, but he kept going. He found himself lost in some dense jungle, but maybe that's for the best. It's clear Pin doesn't want him anymore. He felt so hurt, so lost, so pained...
