(carol: you are already adopted. pko: n-nani!?)

*"AWWW'ing" intensifies*

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

Take a deep breath. It's gonna be alright, KO.

[At hearing this, this prompts him to look back on his events of "Let's Fight to The End". Obviously... before he made that wish.]

[He makes a choked up sound, gritting his teeth. He quietly sets down his phone on the cement and reaches out to the punching bag, putting a hand on it.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

It's okay to cry!

St... stop...

Please...

[He gasps and his eyes widen upon hearing that, losing grip on the air horn completely as it drops to the concrete from the bottom part, thankfully.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

Why can't you tell her?

I-I-I-I-I don't know—!!

[He, in fact, can't, and is struggling to. It feels like as if the walls are closing in on him. That's where his mind is right now.]

[I'm telling you guys. He can't get a proper breath in or even focus at all. 😔]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

I don't like that look, Lupus. You do realize that's her only child.

Not for much longer. [Yeah, you guys should be concerned with what he just said...]

It's not that!

...I know that.

[He turns around to that anon and snaps,]

I already got that message!! Stop adding more pressure onto me than there already is!!

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

oh man

I-I-I-I said I was sorry!! [He whines, and jumps over the group, then races to bolt out the office door, but it disappears once he touches the doorknob, fading into a severely cracked wall.]

AAAH! No! Nonononononononononono--!! [The infernal looking KOs and TKOs start to slowly advance towards him, as they start relentlessly and viciously saying every kind of slander to him. The "you're a heartless monster" kind of slander.

[He screams with that particular anon but it's of immense terror. The rest of the walls around him form even more cracks, and they all stretch before his very eyes.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

*helps Atlas to his feet* ...That's because it ISN'T a hunch, right? Anons have gone silent... But what they said before still stands. Lemme guess, you've been reading along? Makes sense a digital being would transfer from USB to computer to phone to dig up information.

[He gets up carefully, rubbing his head with a groan.] Thanks...

[He sees the creature walking its way in his direction. His voice speaks to him while doing so,] Second "KO"...?: Oh, no... Poor, pathetic Atlas has taken quite a trip.

———

[KO/Atlas exhales a breath and looks on with nervous anticipation.] I'm starting to feel like you're not another KO at all... Hhhh... Who are you?

Second "KO"...?: What do you mean? I'm your best friend. Who fights... [A wide, pointy toothed grin forms on his face.] t̴̪̽ö̸̧ ̶̙͐t̸̡͒h̸͎̅e̵̯̾ ̶̙̏ë̵̞́n̸̬̋ḋ̸̳.̷̐͜

Second "KO" but actually KO.exe-like creature: [It teleports behind Atlas and speaks, not even responding to freepaperdetective at all,] Monsters like you disgust me, Atlas.

[He yells, and turns around to see that... thing taking KO's form. Looming over him. Menacingly.]

And child sacrificing monsters don't deserve to breathe the same air as the KO multiverse...

You're not KO... you're not KO...! What the hell are you...? [The EXE-eque being uses his right hands to squeeze it on both of Atlas' cheeks. He makes an alarmed noise.]

———

Second "KO" but actually KO.exe-like creature: I'm your best– no. Hold on. I already said that.

I am...

Wh... WHAT?!?!?!

[The digital entity's other hand reaches out to prepare a chokehold grab.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

*steps inbetween ready to block attacks at lightspeed*

[Atlas startles, and backs up four more steps.]

[The young "KO" steps forward again.]

Second "KO": You did a really despicable, heartless thing, you know that?

———

Uuuuhhh..... [A strong feeling of apprehension takes over Atlas.] IIIIIIII wish I could talk to you longer, but I have a thing I need to get to, soooo... nice knowing you! [He turns around and prepares to run off. But he could feel a hand quickly grab him. He shouts, and looks over to see the same person he was talking to. Or is it...?]

What the...?

———

Second "KO"...?: Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Atlas... oh, Atlas, my dear, sweet Atlas... Don't you know that you made an atrocity that's just too great to let you off Scott free? Like I'm going brush it off like your sin never happened in the first place? That your "friends" would be so easily forgiving of your arguments? [He chuckles. Atlas tries to wrench himself out of his grip but the mysterious being painfully increases his grip on him. Atlas suppresses a pained noise as best as he could.]

It's amazing, you know? That you are on a whole 'nother level of stupid. [His form quickly glitches again once more.] Like, wow. Just... wow. You really are just as bad as those two problematic, parasite infected kids, are you. And if I can just answer that question, yes, you should get killed for this. Everyone at group therapy has every reason to loathe you with every fiber of your being. All because at the last second you became susceptible to your pal Lupus' wishes of yours. I mean, he does have an impressive track record of maiming and killing numerous innocents back on his home planet, after all. That'll explain why he was executed by that deity he faced with hundreds of years ago and his spirit became part of your little curse. He wants to make you into his image.

———

[He grunts, trying to jerk himself free now, but the creature doesn't bother to let go.] I didn't even tell you about when he was alive and the tournament aftermath stuff! How do you know about that?!

———

Second "KO"...?: Let's just call it... a "hunch".

———

.....What?!?!

———

[The being throws Atlas 20 feet across from him. He makes a hard landing and hits his head with a yell.]
