Song of Logic

I wake up. I go to check up on Uncannoned. I knock.

Null knocks on the door. Made it back just before they woke up. Now that I think about it, I have no clue what Null looks like. Now I'm kinda curious.

"How you doing?" They ask.

Their voice is sweet and comforting. They remind me more of Reaper's girlfriend Armored. I wonder why? I never had feelings for Armored, but Reaper sure did. Could it be I'm developing feelings for Null? No, no it wouldn't work out. How do I say this without being offensive? I'm into more... Feminine people. Maybe Null's feminine? Yes? No? I don't know. Even if they were, it wouldn't work out. I'm a murderer, I don't derserve love, I don't derserve a happy ending. I deserve death. I'm gonna kill I.T. and save my timeline, but after that... that soul erasing sword could help...

"I've been alright," I reply, "hey, I wanna ask you something, but it's a bit personal."

"What is it?" Null asks.

"What do you look like?" I inquire.

"I wear a grey cloak," Null replies, "that's all you need to know for now."

Yeah that seems fair, after all, if they're half as beautiful as their voice, they must be gorgeous. I wonder if they sing. They have a very beautiful voice.

"Hey do you sing?" He inquiries.

I get nervous. I do sing, but I've always kept it secret. I sing old prophecies from the series as songs and it usually goes preety well. However, I don't really think I have the knack for it. If the others find our, they could judge me. Besides, Good already sings. Why would we need two singers?

"No," I lie, "I never have."

"With a beautiful voice like that?" Uncannoned asks, "you should try it."

"You think my voice is beautiful?" I ask.

"If you're even half as beautiful as your voice," I reply, "then you must be gorgeous."

There's no reply for a moment. Was that to close to flirting? Did I go to far? Ah crap I messed up didn't I? Should I take it back? How do I do that without insulting them? Shit, what do I do?

Are they flirting with me or just being nice? How can I tell? I don't know what to do. They're really cute, and really sweet but I can't let emotion cloud my judgement it would be-

Illogical. They are a threat. Further information gathering will be required before a relationship is even an option.

I gotta say something, anything. He's so fragile right now. If he is flirting, it's probably best to not directly deny him. Which is good, cause I really don't want to anyways, but what do I say? Gotta think of something, and fast.

I chuckle a little. "You're so cute," I smile.

He goes silent. Oh no was that flirting? Did I go to far? Shit, what do I do?

Are they flirting with me? What do I say? Oh gods I'm not ready for this. What do I say? Maybe I should steer away from the topic.

"I'm a murderer," I reply, "I'm definitely not cute."

I wanna hug him, comfort him. He's been through so much. He deserves a hug, but I can't. "Don't put yourself down like that," I reply, "I'm sure you had a reason." Maybe I'll be able to figure out his intentions now? Probably to soon though.

"I had a reason," he replies, "but I'd rather not talk about it."

I start flickering again. I want to return to nothingness, to give in. That's what I deserve. I can never atone for all the blood on my hands. I deserve this, I deserve to fade...

I notice his aura fading.

As I fade from existence, the world goes dark, quite. It becomes hard to hear, hard to see. I hear a voice, but I don't care. I deserve this, I don't derserve to be alive any longer.

"Uncannoned!" I yell, "don't fade!" There is no response. He can't fade! He deserves a happy ending after all he's been through! I won't let his story end here! There has to be done way to bring him back. He did ask me to sing, but... Dammit, I have no choice. I take a deep breath and begin to sing.

I hear a song, a beautiful song. More beautiful than any song I've ever heard. It almost seems to be pulling me back into the world. I struggle against the darkness and towards the song. The weight of my past sins seems to drag me into the abyss, but I fight back. I pull myself back into the room.

I almost speak, to tell Null I'm OK, but I catch myself. Why would I interrupt such a beautiful song? I wait for Null to finish the song.

"Heh," he chuckles, "told you you could sing."

I blush nervously. I didn't expect him to actually hear that, I only did it out of desperation.

"Thanks," I reply, "are you OK?"

"I'm fine," I reply, "don't worry about it."

"Listien," Null speaks more softly, like the clouds on the Heavens her words comfort me, "I think we need to talk. You need to-" there's a knock on the door.

There's someone at the door. They're clearly not going anywhere as they bang rapidly on door. "I gotta get that," I explain, "just give me a second." I go to the door and open it. I see Good standing in the doorway. "Where is he?" They ask, "where's Uncannoned?"

"They're fine," I reply, "you notice them fading?"

"Yeah," Good replies, "I need to talk to him, RIGHT NOW..."
