GENERAL STUFF
I’m gonna jot down some general stuff about you here, from personality to backstory. The things I write may not seem in order, because I’m writing these things as I think of them, and this section serves as a notes area for a bunch of things about you. I will update this section as I see fit.
This place will include snippets of stories as well, sort of like flashbacks. Kind of.
Generally pretty cheerful, but when he gets sad he REALLY gets sad, getting depressed. And unfortunately, due to Yn having a lot of terrifying things that happened to him previously, it isn’t too hard to scare him. Luckily, in the first occurrence of his sadness, Meggy happened to be there, cheered him up and makes sure to check in with him frequently to make sure he’s doing alright. If he isn’t, then she won’t stop until he’s completely better. Partially the reason why she’s one of his best friends.
He’s a pretty big gamer, which makes him and Tari great friends.
Desti and him were really great friends from childhood (yeah screw all canon this is my own thing baby), having a lot in common, and when Desti was killed by Francis, Yn was thrown into an unstoppable rage, and Bob and Saiko (yeah I said screw canon) had to hold him back from putting himself in danger. Afterwards, Yn was deeply, deeply sad for the next few weeks, unable to think of anything else, thinking it was his fault Desti died. He didn’t let anyone enter his room (I think SMG4’s place has rooms? Even if it doesn’t, SCREW CANON), not even Meggy. Eventually, Yn did leave his room, but for the next few years still blamed himself. Any mention of Desti would make him start crying.
This all stopped one day, when Desti seemed to appear to him when he was alone in his room, and talked to him.
~Flashback~
Chapter 1
(AROUND THE EVENTS OF MEGGY’S DESTINY)
You were on your bed, sobbing to yourself. Even the slightest mention of Desti depressed you, and it was even worse today, because you had suffered a lot of verbal assault about Desti from Team Killer Ink. Even though they had won the Splatfest, you didn’t feel happy in the slightest.
You felt a breeze in your room, but when you looked around your window was closed.
“Yn.” you jump. You knew that voice.
You slowly turn around.
“D…Desti…?”
Sitting next to you, on your bed, was Desti. She seemed to be slightly transparent, and her eyes seemed blank-ish. Not all blank, just like 50% blank.
“Yep,” she responded, smiling softly. “It’s me.”
“B-but…how are you-“
“How I’m here isn’t important right now. Are you okay?”
You sniff. “What does it look like? No, I’m not okay at all.”
“Do you want to tell me about it?”
“Why does it matter? You’re probably just a figment of my imagination…”
“Possibly. But what does it hurt to tell me?”
“…Fine. Ever since you died in that machine, I feel like everything’s been falling apart. You were my best friend ever since we were kids, and now you’re…” you shake a little.
“Yeah, dying sucked,” Desti said, sighing. “But even so, you shouldn’t let that overtake you. Blaming yourself for my death won’t get you anywhere besides an even worse place. No matter how flattered I am that you care about me this much, you know I wouldn’t want you to act like this.”
“Why should I listen to you? You’re probably just my mind making up excuses-“ you were cut off by a hand firmly grabbing your shoulder.
Desti looked you hard in the eyes.
“Yn. It doesn’t matter if I’m your mind or if I’m real. What I’m saying is true, and you should listen to it whether it’s me or your mind saying it.”
“I just miss you so much…!”
Desti hugged you hard, catching you off-guard. “Yn. You were, and still are, my best friend. My death was no one’s fault, especially yours. The only one to blame for that is Francis. And if it makes you feel any better, the afterlife isn’t that bad at all. And eventually, when your time comes, you’ll see me again. We will never be truly apart. And think about this; if I’m not real, then how are you feeling my hug right now?”
You freeze.
“Desti… it’s you…!”
“Yep. It’s me, Yn. It’s really me.”
You continued the hug, not speaking.
After the hug ended, Desti spoke. “I’ll always be with you, don’t forget that.”
The door opened.
“Yn, this has gone on long enough. Please-Yn? You seem…you seem happier than I’ve seen you for a few years…what happened?”
“Look, it’s-“ you turned to the right of you, but Desti was gone. “-oh.”
“Yn, can you please tell me what’s going on?”
You took a deep breath. “I saw Desti.”
Meggy seemed moderately surprised. “So…she visited you too?”
“Yeah, I didn’t think you’d believe it-wait, what?”
“Desti visited me earlier today as well…I’m assuming she gave you a similar talk?”
“If by similar, you mean telling me that her death wasn’t my fault, yes.”
“Desti…” Meggy said to no one in particular. “If you can hear me…thank you.”
Out of the corner of your eye, through the window, you swore you saw Desti outside, smiling and giving a thumbs-up. But as just soon as she was there, she was gone again.
“I think I’ve finally gotten over Desti’s death,” you said. “While I’ll never forget her, I can finally know that I played no part in her dying.”
“That’s so great to hear…” Meggy said. “For some reason, I have a feeling Desti’s still around, somewhere…”
