Keori's POV:

"Keori...." I hear my name whistle through the vent of the ship.
"Keori." It's a secure vessel. Foxy couldn't be on board.  The alarms aren't sounding.
"Keori, come out. It's me." The voice is at the door.
"Keori, please don't be cared of me." Her best friends voice echos as he enters the room.
"Keori please don't hide... I had to kill them..." He whispers, coming closer to my hiding spot behind the bookcase.
He moves it like it weighs nothing. He's broken. His eyes are black. His coat is dirty and bloodstained.
"Foxy.." I squeak.
"I've got you." He smiles crookedly.

"No!" I scream as I wake up. Icey is at my bedside immediately.
"What happened? Are you alright?!" She panics.
Foxete flings open the door, "What happened?! Who died?!"
"N-Nobody." I stutter out, "Nightmares."
Fox sits at the edge of my bed, "Don't worry, I get them too. What was your about, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Foxy..." I choke out before the tears roll down my face.
She quickly wraps her arms around me.

"It's alright Keori..." she reassures me, "I miss him too."
"How do you deal with this?" I sob, "Not knowing if they're dead?"
"Hope." She sighs, "It's the only thing we can do."
"That's a flimsy thing." I shake my head.
"But it's the best we've got." She hugs me tightly, "We'll get them back in a few days, Keori."
"Promise?" I ask her.
She hesitates, "I will try until my dying breath."
"Why are you out in the hallway anyways, Foxete?" Icey asks.
Fox looks embarrassed, "Uh... well... my darling girlfriend decided to lock me out of our bedroom after Isel told her I flirted with her WHICH is not true."
We look flabbergasted.
"BESISES my failing relationship. Keori, are you alright?" Fox redirects the conversation towards me.
"I'm fine now, yes." I nod, drying my tears.
"Icey, keep a watch on her?" Fox asks.
"Of course." Icey smiles.
"Good night, both of you." Fox nods and leaves.

He'll be okay.

We'll all be just fine.
