"Glitch? What are you doing here? You were never supposed to come here? I told you to stay away from L'manberg today." He said panicked. He shook it off. "No matter, you can't stop me."

"There was, there WAS a special place where men could go and emancipate, but even with Tubbo in charge I don't think it can exist again." He said.

"Wil, please no, we can still win, we still have a chance, you don't have to do this!" I cried.

"THE THING THAT I BUILT THIS NATION FOR DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE! THE THING I WORKED TOWARDS DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE! ITS OVER!" He shouted, his character turning towards me. I let out a sob as a new voice entered.

"What are you doing?" A solemn voice spoke, as philza entered the button room.

"Phil," Wilbur's voice was low, surprised.

"What are you doing?" Phil asked again.

I listened as they spoke back and forth, Phil trying to deescalate the situation, my occasional sobs could be heard. Wilbur wouldn't budge, he shouted and shouted, he was a mess.

Wilbur turned towards me, glancing between me and Phil.

"Phil, there was a saying, Phil, glitch, there was a saying, by a traitor, once part of L'manberg, it was never meant to be." A scream ripped out of me, I begged.

He hit the button and it went deathly silent, Phil breaking it with a quiet oh my god.

The ground started exploding around us, we all started to take damage, and just as the explosions peaked I switched my stream to a black stream. Canonically this would be my character passing out.

Slowly the black faded out and was replaced with a prerecorded segment, clips of me and Wilbur, of me and L'manberg, Niki and I being spies. It was replaying my memories.

After a bit it faded back and I undeafened in the call. The yelling came back and I saw the wreckage. I also watched as Phil got the last few hits that killed my lover.

"Wil... no! Please Wilbur, I'm so sorry." I wasn't even screaming, more pathetically begging as I brought my character to meet everyone else, all my fellow citizens as we beheld the rubble left of our great nation, and the lack of our president, and my lover, his final life taken.

My music came back in and my stream ended, as soon as it was over I pulled my headphones off and put my head on the desk.

God I hope I did okay... I thought.

The sound went off signaling someone had joined my vc, I had moved into the no streaming channel so I looked up to see who it is. It was Wilbur.

"Kat!! That was amazing!! Definitely some of your best acting yet, the fans will lose their minds." He said and I felt butterflies in my stomach.

"I'm glad you think so, you did great too." I said.

I sighed.

"What's wrong Kat?" He asked.

"I don't know, work has just been kicking my ass lately, it's been getting really busy and I've just been super stressed." I said.

"You should come visit me." He said randomly, it was sort of out of pocket but I still found myself smiling at the idea.

"I would love to, but it probably wouldn't be anytime soon, I still have work and other stuff going on, just in personal things. I would like to plan a meet up eventually though." I said, hoping that I expressed my excitement well enough.

"Hey Kat? How did your crying sound so good?" He asked and I laughed nervously.

"I was a huge theater kid, I took classes all through high school and the year I took of college. I learned how to cry on command in there." I said.

"That's really cool, you were super convincing." He said and I could hear his smile.

"Could we move into our call in our dms?" I asked.

"Sure thing, but why?" He asked.

"Dunno, just wanna talk about something privately." I said.

We switched into a private call and it took a minute for someone to speak again.

"Ok, what did you want to talk about?" He asked.

"Something's been bothering me for a while, like months, so I guess I wanted to talk about it..." I trailed off a bit.

"Okay, you can tell me, I don't mind if you want to." He said and I started talking.

"It's about my ex, I mean we broke up a long time ago, like before Christmas but I still can't get over it for some reason. We were together for a few years so I guess it's just been hard, maybe I feel lost without somebody there for me to serve and for somebody to always tell me exactly what to do and how they feel about the things I did. I feel worthless, I don't really have a purpose anymore and I know he was terrible to me, I mean he cheated on me, but what if I never find anyone else." I said, I was dancing around the topic, it's always awkward to talk about things with someone who you've never even talked about the topic a little, like Wil never even knew I had a boyfriend.

"Oh, well Kat, I think it's reasonable to be upset, getting cheated on in a long term relationship is hard. I guarantee you though, you will find someone else, someone better, you have a purpose, I mean you've inspired so many people and you're such a great friend. I just want you to know that WHENEVER and I mean whenever you need someone to talk to, I will always be here to listen." He said and I honestly felt myself tearing up.

"Wil, that's so sweet." I said trying not to let my voice crack.

I talked a little bit more about my relationship with Josh and how lately I've felt really lethargic, I was glad to finally get it off my chest and wil was an amazing listener. Eventually I had to leave and I walked out of my room.
