She lost. That's all that Stress knew. She was engulfed in guilt, as she sat in her room, a waterfall of tears cascading form her eyes. She didn't want to go on, her hands shaking wildly, as she reached for her communicator. Clicking it on, she began recording a voice note for the whole server to hear.

"Um... hi. I-It's me. Stress. I-I wanted to tell you all... I'm sorry. For t-the horrible thing I did. And... Iskall e-especially. I'm so sorry. I-I know that- that won't fix anything. But.. I just- wanna repay my debt to you all.", The message was given between sobs, as she continued. "I swear on my life that.. this isn't a prank.", She loaded a gun, the click echoing. "And.. I hope I'll.. see you all..", She broke off, taking in a sharp inhale. "In the next life, .."

X's eyes widened, replaying the voice note over and over, as the chat blew up with messages. She wouldn't actually do it, right?

She raised the gun to her head, her jacket strewn onto the floor, hesitance and anxiety coursing through her veins. "Maybe they can finally put that grave to good use..", as her legs trembled, she pulled the trigger, a loud bang filling the air. As her body collapsed to the floor, crimson blood pooled around her, gluing her hair to her face.

"We are gathered here today to mourn the lost life of Stressmonster101. She gave in to her guilt, and fell by a bullet to her beautiful brain. Her closest friends would like to say a few words.", X stepped down from the podium, Stress grave decorated with light pink lilies and snowy white daisies decorated her grave, her name carved into the stone. "Thanks, X S-Stress was one of my dearest friends.. she- she was perky, giggly, and was able to brighten anyone's day with that- sunshiney smile of hers..", Cleo hiccuped, wiping tears with the sleeve of her silk black dress. "No matter the situation.. She'd stay optimistic.. and.. would turn the whole thing around.. T-That's all from me.. Iskall.", She gestured to the Swede.

"Thank you.. Cleo.. um.. Stress... had a kind heart.. and.. she was always there when we needed to vent... and now.. now that she's gone.. I'll just have to remember she'll always be there for me still... even if... even if she's not physically here. B-but... when.. we all see her.. I'll be the first to give her a hug... even if- none of you guys forgive her.. I do.", He let a sigh escape his lips.

Nothing would be the same.

Not ever again.
