Do you want us to get your mom?

[He doesn't respond to those requests, but he knows that he probably wants to come to her about it personally. Yes, he'll be thinking about her.]

[He doesn't say anything. With how his current mindset is right now, there's probably no more to help him out of it.]

[He doesn't say anything to that as he opens the door. It quietly squeaks.]

[He stares into the doorway. After what felt like ages of him being unresponsive, he manages to whisper a simple, quiet sounding,]

i failed him.

... i failed her.

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

Ooohh, are we eating words? Deceit is my favorite flavor.

[Lupus raises an eyebrow at therapy deity, about to make a remark when he hears a strange... shift in some of the anon's demeanor upon speaking to KO.]

Uhh... I-I...

[KO shakes his head, trying to ignore what he's hearing and feeling.] Yeah... yeah... calling her.

I'd like her number... please...

[He breathes in, trying to focus when... as if on cue... that feeling returns.]

Whuh... What.....?

[Yeah, you were. But KO right now is standing there looking all fearful and stiff. He feels like something is caught in his throat.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

He's not alone out there.

[Getting tired of watching and listening to the sobfest, Lupus speaks,] I'd say he pretty much is alone. Even more fitting enough for him to discover if he has backbone. And that's a big IF.

[He rolls his eyes.] Not the first time I've been told that.

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

HEY HEY HEY... Shiny isn't alone! He has his TKO! They have each other.

[KO exhales shakily. His grip is seen beginning to tighten on the punching bag's sides.]

Ngg.....

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

Of course! He... can make sure he's not dead.

[He sighs, and goes back to squishing his face into the punching bag.]

[He pauses, and slowly turns his head to them, wet, sloppy looking face appearing in this moment, confused. There's visible proof that he didn't take a bite out of it. It remains in one piece.]

[A realization that hits him like a 18 wheeler truck makes him remember from that sentence that he does indeed have a TKO. His bottom lip quivers a moment before he belts out a wail as he resumes crying into the punching bag once more.

Thanks a lot, guys. Nice going making him cry about it more 🙄]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

I trust all of the anons to return him alive and safely! 🫡

[KO wheezes and stuffs his face directly into the bag.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

Some guys are already out lookin' for him. It might be a while, but they'll find him!

[He doesn't register the whole "looking for him part." At least not just yet.]

[From the looks of it, he is indeed still hugging it with him still in mind.]

[He doesn't notice the blanket over him as he looks up at the sky and sobs.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

...Ooorrrr, that works! Imagine it as Shiny and give it a sobbing hug. Whatever helps!

[KO is absolutely bawling his scared, helpless little eyes out, repeating Shiny's signature multiverse designated nickname, with asking some why's in between.]

[It's just straight up, no joke, very ugly crying. His hug tightens.]
