Chapter Text
Where am I?
He wondered, he couldn't see a thing, it was like he was walking through a pitch black hallway, there was a slight mist in the air, he could hear his footsteps echoing as he walked, he ran a hand through the air, there was a wall but he couldn't see it, it was smooth but also felt like wet rock, he could see his hands, his feet, himself, but nothing else, the air felt damp and cool and eerily still, he could hear someone, breathing, it was ragged sounding, like whoever it was was in pain, but he couldn't see anyone else, and so he called out
M: Is someone there?
L: Mars?
Lunar!? Why are you here? Where are you?
L: Help, me
Mars sped up his pace, whatever was going on, something was clearly wrong
M: Help you? I, I can't find you
L: Mars, please, help me
M: I can't see you, what's wrong?
L: Mars. . . MARS!
And with that, Mars jolted awake, he was at the desk in the daycare, not in that hallway, Lunar, was probably fine, he could feel his mechanical heart racing though, whatever that dream was, it was weird as hell. He leaned against the desk and buried his face in his hands
M: What the hell was that?
L: yo Mars, you good?
Mars looked up, Lunar had come over at some point
M: Yeah I'm, fine
On that last word, Mars' vision, glitched? something was quite odd, his vision seemed to flicker, and for a moment Lunar, he looked like something had torn him open, his left eye was shattered with oil pouring out and his chest was torn open, but it only lasted a second before returning to normal
L: You sure? You look like you've seen a ghost
M: Yeah, I'm, I'm fine, just didn't sleep well
L: you know you're supposed to do that, right?
M: oh haha, yeah I know, just, weird ass dreams making it hard
L: oof, nightmares are the worst
M: yeah, they really are
L: well I unfortunately have to go deal with the children cause the daycare is opening soon, and maybe stop falling asleep at the desk, we have actual rooms now
M: yeah, I probably should, see you later, Lunar
And so Lunar walked off, leaving Mars to wonder, what the fuck is going on?
