Ink's POV:
I opened my eye sockets to see just black. I sat up confused about where I was. I rubbed them, hoping for a different result just to see the black again. I got up and looked around, seeing if I was just facing a black wall, just to see that I'm in a black wasteland.
I caught a glimpse of a light tan as I turned. I turned again to see that it was the end of my scarf. I quietly ruled out the possibility of me being blind as I looked down to see I'm in my normal clothes.
I was about to run through more options of what's going on in my 'mind' when I heard sobbing. I turned to the direction it was, seeing is my 'ears' were playing a trick on me. They weren't. I quickly ran to see who was crying when I saw Error hugging himself and crying.
I froze at the sight. I've never seen Error cry. His back was facing me as I heard him sobbing apologies to everyone. I quietly sighed as I walked over to him. I knelt and hugged him from behind. He immediately reacted and pushed himself away from me. He stared at me as tear's run down his bones.

"Error? Why are you crying?" I worriedly asked. I know he's the destroyer but I've never seen him cry.
He snapped back into reality and started to sob again. I crawled over and wrapped him in my arms. This time, instead of pulling away, he leaned in. His hand gripped my shirt tightly as I started to slowly rock him.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry." Error kept on repeating.
"What for Error?" I quietly asked, leading to him sobbing harder as his grip tightens.
I quietly sighed as I started to hum 'Don't Forget' to calm him down. A few minutes later Error started to go limp. I looked down to see him almost asleep.
"Goodnight Error." I quietly hummed as I rocked my rival.
"Night...little...berry..." Error muttered as he fully fell asleep. I raised a bone brow in confusion. That sounds like a nickname that'd be given to Blue but why would Error give Blue a nickname?
I laid down beside Error, causing him to immediately cuddle up to my chest. I hummed quietly as darkness swarmed my vision.
