*Footsteps approach a figure laying in the grassy woods. The figure raises its head and narrows its eyes.* "...what?" *Navy and the figure exit the forest with the shorter one's arm wrapped around the doppelganger's shoulders. The doppelganger speaks.* "Could've just let me lay there after everything I've done." "But I didn't. You're soaking wet, you're bruised and bleeding, and- ...wait, didn't you-" "Yes, I did. That nuisance is GONE now, and I'm completely powerless." *The doppelganger huffs, his ears drooping.* "Like it would've made any difference anyways, I was on the brink of death." *Navy's ears gave a slight twitch at the mention of death.* "I know that feeling. Like you're about to collapse at any moment." *He looks up at the doppelganger.* "I know you only feel, like, hatred and malice... but maybe tone down your uh... tone down the malice a bit?" *The doppelganger scoffs, rolling his one good eye.* "That'll be the day that Albert Einstein edits wings on a bird." *Silence for a short moment.* "...fine. Just keep me from dying and I won't strangle you when we get to that camp." "Okay, okay! Crater's... probably got something with her down there." "Good. I can already feel a migraine forming from the fall..."
