Chapter Text
“So err. The start of my childhood was fine..
.
Define fine for me real quick?
.
Okay. So yeah, so, the start was fine, ya know? I had two loving parents. My dad was a bit strict. But it wasn't too bad. He was a music artist. He was the one that taught me most of what I knew, oh yeah, he was also SUPER popular, ya know?
My mom was quite nice, super kind and did a lot for me.
It was nice. They had TONS of money, so I went to a good school and stuff. It was a public school, but it was fun. I met Koi there. And I was SUPER popular. Elementary school was life, it was so fun being known basically everywhere and being loved by everyone.
.
..
But then, of course something had to happen.
The infection thingy that had been goin' around.
.
M-
My dad got it.
And he had killed my mother.
And-
And he even tried to kill me.
Of course, a 12 year old me at the near end of elementary school could get away, but I was so scared, you know?
I ended up getting hurt anyway.
I lost full vision in one eye, and also injured my other one.
I was practically chopped liver at that point. Blinded and confused, but then. Someone found me.
.
I went to a hospital for it and stuff, I was still blind nonetheless but, at least I wasn't dead.
But..
.
Everything.
My school, my friends, my parents.
Everything-
My whole life up to that point-
Gone.
Everything I had was gone.
.
I had gotten into a new school. But I was severely bullied. For my blindness, for losing everything. I had gone into the deep end of the ocean of emptiness. There was basically nothing I could do anymore at that point. I was at my lowest. Even lower than low. What's a teenager supposed to do when he has nothing left?
.
I had tried to kill myself at the start of the summer in between 8th and 9th grade.
But,
I did have one thing, didn't I?
What was it?
.
!
Oh.
It was musical talent.
I knew songs like no one else, I could even produce my own.
Perhaps, maybe I could start out like this?
.
After summer break. I tried going around, asking anyone who wanted to oblige to listen to my music.
Eventually, I heard suggestions that the people that would like the styles I produced were in the library after school, since I had no fixed place I could stay there until asked.
As I thought. They did like the styles, they were ‘weird’ kids after all. But they were fun to talk to. One wanted to sing a song for me, they said they were good at writing lyrics. It took a while, and we still needed to do school work. One day we went over to their house and worked on it. Eventually we posted the song.
And..
And?
And
It BLEW up! Almost as popular as my dads most popular song!
It was amazing.
It made me remember what happiness was.
.
And it made me remember how much I loved music.
.
So yeah.
Oh wait, you wanna know when I met up with Koi again?
‘Kay..?
I went over to this one cool pastry shop. I think at that time Weffle, Koi, Patcher, Guido, and Rossum had already met. Weffle worked there, and also worked at innova or whatever as well.
Here, I'll act it out.”
.
.
.
Discard walked into the Pastry shop. He sat down, and a fluffy chipmunk got his pastries as asked. She was talking to a lot of other people.
.
!
!!!!
‘Wait! I-is that? It can't be? Oh my- is that Koi? Like THE Koi? Koi from elementary school?’
He sat up, and walked over to the group of people.
He went behind Koi, and tapped her shoulder.
“Huh-. OH MY GOLLY-HOLY GUACAMOLE! DISCARD! DISCARD!!!!” Koi squealed. Hugging him as tight as possible.
“Ugh- Koi-I CAN'T BREATHE-..” Discard said, smiling as she hugged him.
“I-I thought you were dead broski! Like- you just kinda disappeared. You said you would be there in middle school but you never came, I'm literally so mad at you even though I know it's not your fault but I MISSED YOU SO BADLY!” She said
“Hah- yeah I thought I was gonna be dead too. I missed ya.” He replied. Hugging her as well.
“Well uh, bye guys! Ima go like catch up with this guy real quick. Come on!”
…
“Yeah, that's basically everything. Uhh, bye!”
