The Prisms stood in their living room, their faces all filled with horror, confliction, and confusion. How could this have happened? They all promised each other that what happened at Rainbowcare would NEVER come up again. It was in the past. This was their "happy ending". So why did it happen? What could've caused Chem, one of their lovely children, to do such a cruel act on their sibling? How could they have chopped Sly's limbs off and replaced them with those of a Cox? Chem had always been a bit off, but no one thought they would do THAT. Even if Sly didn't die, it still brought back....unpleasent memories. "...This is my fault." Cuddles said, finally breaking the silence. The other 3 looked at him in confusion. "Did you notice how Chem began acting out after we had our conversation about...what happened? Chem probably got curious and wanted to try it out..." Cuddles explained. This was why he was afraid of opening up, he thought someone would get hurt. And now? Those fears have been confirmed. "N-No, you a-aren't!" Suffuzz objected. "I-I was the one who started that conversation...I-I should've kept my mouth shut...." Suffuzz began to tear up. He always was someone who wanted to help people out with their issues, and Cuddles was no exception. He would've shut up if he had known THIS would happen.
"This....isn't related but....what are we gonna do about Chem?" Barry asked. No one knew how to answer. They all knew Chem was still a child, but they couldn't just...go without punishment. They couldn't send Chem away, no one had to the heart to, but they couldn't tell someone about what happened. Tears forbid what would happen if Carrie found out... No one knew what to do. Just when they thought they could finally settle down and recover, a reminder of their trauma strikes back like a cobra. While thinking, Barry looked up at Doom. She was shaking, tears running down Smiles face. Out of everyone, Doom blammed himself the most for what happened. Barrry extended an arm out for a hug while Cuddles walked up to the hybrid. "Doolly..." Cuddles said. "It wasn't your fault..." Doom uncovered her face and looked down at Cuddles with a traumatized expression.
"You know, you don't have to lie to me, Cuddly."
Cuddles let go. Oh. Oh tears. He forgot. Doom thought any kindness given her way was pity when their depression got bad. Doom walked out of the room and shut the door. This whole situation had Smiles mind in circles. Why didn't he do more? Why didn't she stop Chem? So many whats if swarmmed in their head as he opened Sly's bedroom door. A bunch of ripped up Cox items were on the floor. Sly was sitting in Fens bed, the blood from the sown on limbs dripping. He was curled up, sobbing. Seeing Sly like this, even if she wasn't Dooms blood child, broke Smiles heart. "Sweetie...?" Doom called out. Sly looked up, and in that moment, Fen ran up to Doom and started sobbing his eyes. Doom didn't say anything, only returning the hug and sobbing back as well. "My baby, oh my baby..." Doom choked.
The family was never going to be the same after that day, no matter how much they could pretend.
