Melanies Lament.
The front door stands still, the hallway surrounding it as melanie turned to face it, as if expecting someone to come through. She's thought about it, over and over again. Was there really any point in pursuing this life? She asked herself. Consistently contemplating the meaning and purpose of her meaningless desires.
"I'm so stupid.." she muttered to herself as the bright pink light emanating from her screen grew more weary. "How could I be so stupid..? Thinking that folly would even.. could even.. change.." she thought to herself as she turned away from the front door.
It has been days since folly has left their apartment for a "check up" with Dr retro. Melanie grew desperate to hear from them, consistently spamming their messages every waking moment though she's always greeted with no reply. Just the empty sounds of her now dimly lit room.
Melanie sighed to herself as she walked over to the kitchen, the room seems alot bigger without folly around, seeing as her size would always take up most of the space. Melanie consistently needing a stool to even reach the same counter as her..
as she slowly walked closer to the stoves counter top, dragging the very stool that held memories of them both. How they'd laugh, tease and joke with eachother over the smallest little things. As the words "Pathetic" rung in Melanie's head over and over again. She slowly stood up on the stool, glaring at the various knives tucked away in their own holder greeting her. As her paws temptingly picked one up, gliding their padded fingers along the blade before aimming it at their heart.
Melanie always had only one weakness, you could even say she could still live without an arm or two. The only things that could really kill her, is her soft silicone heart that was hidden underneath the metal plating of her chest.
She brought the tip of the knifes edge closer and closer to the now exposed beating mechanical heart. Mozelle had hand crafted it for her after hers died once folly tore her head off. That's one thing to add to melanies list of regrets. If she could, melanie would have apologized to everyone before doing this. But she thought to herself that she was finally. Out of time.
melanie took in a deep breath, ready to stab themselves to sleep as they'd hope mozelle would stop trying to bring her back. Knowing they would only cause their dear friend make trouble, they suddenly heard the front door opening. Melanies hands grew shaky as they hesitantly turned over to see, holding the knife right above them as they stared at the door.
Folly gently pushed the door open, sighing to herself as she crouched down a little to fit through the short door frame. Carrying a bag of groceries as the large dream parasite stepped inside. Stretching their back a but as they spoke
"Melanie? I'm home.." she spoked hesitantly, noticing how dim the lighting of the apartment was as she turned her head side to side, looking for any hint or sight of melanie before pausing as they turned to the kitchen.
The sharp silver blade shined in the dim casting lights as follys eyes widen, dropping the grocery bags as she stared, frozen in fear. Melanies ears peered up a little as she spoke with a shaky and hesitant voice "h-Hey folly.. I'm glad to see you agai-" melanie didn't have time to finish her sentence as folly bolted towards her, the parasite swift and fast as they closed the distance between them both and threw the knife away from their hands.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!" Folly exclaimed as she quickly closed the metal chest piece to hide melanies seemingly exposed silicone heart. Before wrapping their arms tightly around the rabbit. Follys panting was heavy as they clinged on desperately to the one good thing in their life left, the one good thing that still gave them a reason to keep pushing.
Follys eyes darted around the room, as if in a panic. Their claws digging into melanies back while their head was buried in the crook of her neck. Melanie muttered softly as their ears lowered "I'm sorry.." she apologized as her hands came up to follys back, before quickly dropping. Unable to find the courage or energy to hug back "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.." melanie jsut kept apologising over and over again before her heads speaker became muffled with broken static like sobs. Standing on the stool without any other words as she wept in follys arms.
