Normal day, not so normal for Pencil.
Pencil still isolated herself from everyone else, she remained to the club house of awesomeness. She did nothing but think. Think... Think... And thinking. She still misses the old times, she couldn't help but never admit herself that she's the one who ruined everything. She believed she did nothing wrong but at the same time... She knew she did something wrong. She sometimes sees Match scolding in front of her. She missed the old times.
She thinks of Pen's words again. It was deep buy at the same time... She didn't want to believe it. She didn't want to believe anyone else other than herself.
She just loveeee criticing herself... Isn't that right?
She let a frustrated sigh, putting her hands into her hair. She needed to blame herself. She needed to-
She heard a slow open of the door, she let out a sigh and a shout "WHAT DO YOU WANT ?!" she obviously wanted to be alone. How many times she had to tell ?! She looked behind her... Seeing Liy with a concerned look.
"You good, Pencil?" Her voice was soft as she approached.
"None of your business." She wanted to let out her emotions at that moment. She wanted someone... Someone to console her and tell her that everything is going be okay.
Pencil ignored her as she continued staring on the floor. Liy couldn't help but let out a sigh, she sat next to her putting a hand into her shoulder. Pencil didnt want to feel weak around anyone, she hissed "Go away."
Liy couldn't help but sadden, she only wanted to help. She knew what Pencil was feeling." Don't push everyone, Pencil." She whispered before Pencil slapped right to her face. She knew she didn't want to do it but that's her lesson to bother her.... Right? Riiiiight.
"JUST SHUT UP AND GO AWAY !"
Liy touched her cheek, she did nothing but stare at her in disbelief. "Whatever, if you want to keep up like that then do it." She said as she stomped, leaving Pencil alone again. She couldn't help but feel regret to do that, she hugged her knees as she buries her face into her ankles.

Liy went to the rooftop for some fresh air, she saw Pen also sitting on the rift while looking at Black hole trying to fix the crack, he screamed... Shouted... He would do anything to fix it. Liy ignored him, she tried to leave alone her past as she sat next to Pen.
" Hey pen... " She said, trying to be as casual as possible
"Sup Liy, uh... You good?" He said with a worried tone
Liy sighed as she continued " It's just Pencil... She keeps pushing everyone. I want to help her but i don't know if i can." She spoke softly as she hugs her knees. Pen could relate to that, he puts his hand into her shoulder. He couldn't help but stare at the beautiful hair she had, he ruffles her hair trying to cheer her up
"Hey ! It'll be okay, just like you said ! I'm sure she'll open up to you one day like how you did to me once. I can't help but be grateful for your kind words... So I'll just assume that Pencil just needs time to open up to you ! You can do it, I believe in you!" He said cheerfully as he hugged her tightly, Liy couldn't help but hug him back. It felt warm as her smile lightens up
"thanks pen..."

Mean while....
Pencil still hugged herself, she slept on the floor curling up.
"I HATE YOU !" Books words echoed to herself, she still thinks of it but she still won't blame herself over it
"Your like pointless, Pencil" she imagined Match saying that to herself, she couldn't help but hug herself even tighter.
"Pencil, I think that's too much... " Bubble's words also echoed. The more she thinks of it, the more she felt the guiltness tripping to her.
"I want revenge !" Ice cube's casual words, but it wasn't like the same ones she would've always say... This time... It's not a tone of happiness and anger... It's just anger. More pointed towards Pencil.
And last but not least "You don't deserve to be the leader of this .." Pencil had enough, she gripped her neck tightly to the point she couldn't breath well. She knew she couldn't die from that .. that she could be recovered, but she still gripped her neck very tightly. Her ears started to ring as she felt dizzy. She kept holding her neck tightly... She could see everything becoming blurry to her perspective.
She then felt relaxed as someone wrapped around her, she loosened the grip of her neck. She knew whos arms are those... It was from Liy, Liy continued hugging from her back, Pencil couldn't help but feel tears starting to create into her eyes. She looked behind as she hugged her tightly. She sobbed silently into her arms, Liy rubbed her back... Her heart aches to see Pencil at a state like that
"It'll be okay, Pencil..."
