Warning: Suicide, I guess...

I think we can all agree that the hermits have egos, is that what you call them? I guess. Some are more memorable like Ex, Wormman, whoever that is, Poultryman, Renbob etc. etc.

But the question is, where do they go? Of course, everyone reading this probably doesn't know about JSE egos and Markiplier egos? Maybe you know Sanders Sides, or maybe you don't? Who knows.

Not me. Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't explain what I brought inspiration from that lead to this world.

The 'egos' are alternate version of someone else. A different version of a character that you might mistake them as someone else entirely despite them looking like the same person in different outfits. They have their own personality and mind, different goals.

They'll only brought to life through how loved they are by fans. But majority of the time, they're part of a storyline, often complicated.

But where do they go to, stay and exist in without anybody noticing them. That not even their 'original counterpart' will notice them.

It's called the mindspace. A place where they retreat to. They live a life without worrying about anything else, feel their own emotions, maintain their own relationships and care for themselves.

Like any other person, they only interact with aspects of their original and maybe other alternate counterparts.

But the difference between pervious mentioned worlds with alternate counterparts is that, the hermits weren't aware of their counterparts.

They were just fictional characters to them. Yes, even Ex. It was never confirmed it he was actually Xisuma's brother.

It was the fans.

The only thing really maintaining the 'egos' were how many fans love, acknowledge them and knew of their existence.

Ariana Griande was one of those lucky egos. However, her time was definitely ticking away slowly.

It was currently night time in the mindspace and Ari was looking for one of the egos.

'Tailor' as they nicknamed him. Another Grian 'ego', the... well... tailor. Making multiple clothes and are technically the reason some of the Grian egos exist.

However, he wasn't exactly really loved by most. It made sense actually, Grian had a love for outfits and it just seems like another part of him. And honestly, it would be kinda stupid to assume Grian's passion for something could be an ego of another form.

But the problem is, he is an ego. A very tired and pretty much dying one.

However, the Grian egos refuse to let one of their own to die. So the more loved are always parts of their life to the weaker, and it always seems to work as one of the least loved of ego, Ringmaster, is still here with them.

The issue here is they have to be in each other's presence to transplant parts of their life force, which is why Ari is worryingly searching for Tailor. It's because he hasn't been seen all day long.

Not a single ego had seen him, she even asked the other hermits egos.

None. Not a single one of them had seen him at all, and that's why she's so worry. Tailor is one of her closet and dearest friend. Even if he's a bit depressing or a bit, too passionate.

It's honestly just like playing Russian Roulette when around Tailor. Except a majority of the gun have bullets.

If you weren't careful enough, he would snap.

However, she didn't care. Even when he hurt her, she knew he care. People only get mad if they care, and that, she's aware of it very well.

So it doesn't matter rather or not Tailor scold at her when she finds him, as long as he's okay. That's all that matter to her.

However, so far she hasn't found him yet. She searched near the entire mindspace and there was not a single clue onto where he's at. Even Sherlock and his two partners couldn't find a lead on where he could possibly be.

So now, she's just wondering blindly through the forest, pushing past the greens that seem to grow more as she continued to go through it.

Ari paused when she noticed light. She decided to follow the light which led her to a cliff side with someone sitting on it. A Grian-shaped someone.

"TAILOR! Thank Mojang!" Ari yelled out loud, easily startling the man. She ran over to the cliff side and kneeled down. She was quickly made eye contact with him.

It was indeed Tailor. She recognize his outfit anywhere! A dark blue sweater, measuring tape around his shoulder and a pair of sweatpants.

"Ari?" He asked, clear confusion in his voice. "What are you doing here?" "I should be asking you that," Ari pointed out, letting out a chuckle at it. "Well, I'm just here to look at the view," Tailor answered, looking back at the ocean.

"All day long?" Ari asked, confusion as clear as day. Tailor tensed up and let out a nervous chuckle as he answered, "Most of it was just me preparing to get here."

"Okay...?" Ari glanced at the scene and let out a gasp. She grabbed onto Tailor and pulled him back, unintentionally cracking him underneath her finger. He kept a yelp in and just simply turned to glance her with a confused look.

"Be careful!" She scolded. "One slip and you'll fall to your death," Ariana spoke out, gesturing to the huge drop with spikes at the bottom. Tailor tensed up as his eyes widened slightly which went unnoticed by the singer.

He chuckled nervously and glanced down to the spikes. "I'm aware," He confirmed. He gave Ariana a smile, "but I'm okay."

Ari frowned at Tailor. It wasn't there for a while however as it was quickly replaced with a reassuring smile. "How about we head home? We miss you, Tailor," She offered, kneeling up to and giving him a hand.

He glanced back down at the spikes without a smile present as emotions disappeared from his eyes. His grip on the cliff simply tightened and gave her a fake smile.

"I'd rather stay here for a bit longer if that's fine with you."

Ari stared at him stunned but gave him a smile and leaned back. "If you say so, Tailor," Ari started gestured towards the way out. "but promise me you'll be back in time for breakfast?" She asked, giving him a soft smile.

Tailor gave her a smile and gave her an answer, "I might get too caught in the scene but I'll try." "That's good enough," Ari said, letting out a sigh. She got up and left to the forest. Before she began heading home, she turned behind her and gave him a wave. He gave her a wave back and she went into the forest.

Tailor's smile fell and he turned back to the bottom of the cliff.

Then, he pushed himself off.
