(Be warned, this will be a long post)
The next week was… eventful.
Winter came in to see his “brother”, and they ended up arguing. Summer lashed out at him for accusing Solar of being the cause of all of this, and it just escalated from there.
Solar wished that he didn’t overhear that argument…
Since He spent all his time with Summer, and trying to delay to inevitable, Winter got forced back into working at the Daycare, which just made him so much angrier.
They avoided him out of fear.
As the days passed by Summer’s condition got worse. He couldn’t walk anymore, bits and pieces of his memory were fading, he could barely move without unbearable pain…
All his time in between running diagnostics and trying to slow Summer’s death was spent talking to him.
Sometimes it would be about the most mundane stuff, or how his day was going, or about the daycare children. Other times they’d talk about the future, and forget for a moment about the sad reality of their situation.
And sometimes Summer would forget who Solar was, just for a moment, and after the first time Solar started making a scrapbook, something Summer taught him to do, for those moments where Summer would forget.
Summer’s condition still worsened no matter how much he tried to stop it, or delay it, or something. Soon he was coughing up oil more often than not, his hands were always shaking. Summer would always complain about the horrible headaches, and he spent most of his time sleeping.
One day, Solar came back and the Parts N Service was oddly quiet.
It hadn’t been quiet in weeks…
Summer was collapsed halfway on the floor, barely breathing. Do animatronics even need to breathe? He immediately went to his friend, carefully cradling his half alive body against him, and He sobbed into Summer.
He begged for Summer to be joking.
He begged for Summer to be alright.
He begged for Summer to not abandon him.
He begged for Summer to not leave him alone.
He begged so much, until He couldn’t beg anymore.
Winter found Solar the next morning clutching Summer’s cold, lifeless body.
