(Y/N) Pov:

You held your head into your hands, breathing heavily. It wasn't the sentence that (B/F/N) told you that was putting you in such a state, it was the feeling that it was true.

It explained everything! All the fragments of your life, all your thoughts... It hit you like a bullet, were you just living for the entertainment of others?

(B/F/N) looked at you with concerned eyes, they didn't know how to comfort you since they had no idea how you'd react. So, they were beyond confused when they saw you stand and yell all of a sudden.

-"I KNEW IT!!!!" You exclaimed fists in the air. They were facepalming seeing you dance a self-made victory dance.

-"Huh?"

-"My conspiracies theories were confirmed! The only thing is that we're not living in a simulation, we're not living at all!" (B/F/N) blinked. They were not expecting that. Yet again, there's a reason why you two were best friends

-"I didn't know you'd take this so well...." They mumbled, sweatdropping. You turned towards them.

-"And you then? How did you take it?" You asked, they looked away, frowning.

-"There's a reason why I told you this... I would have gone insane if not. All these things... The truth... I couldn't act the same when knowing these things. I had to fake myself, to lie to you and they weren't happy with that. They thought that I was a bad guy or something... That I was deceiving you to my own benefits... Of course they couldn't know the truth before I'd explain to you but it still hurts." They told you, clearly uneasy. You were still a bit confused.

-"Who are they?" You asked, sitting back next to them, they sighed.

-"the r£@∆£r§, of course, who else? They are the reason we exist in the first place." They explained, ignoring the fact that their voice distorted for a second but you still understood the word they were trying to say.

-"I see... Well, now I think it's better if we think of something else alright? I mean... I don't want to suffer from panic attacks every single second." You said, they smiled, they thanked you for that.

-"But..." You started tilting your head towards them, something was still left unexplained.

-"What does my sketchbook has something to do with that?" You asked, wondering. (B/F/N) lets out a 'Ah right!', they had completely forgotten about it. They sweatdropped again, How could they forget it? It's literally the thing they wanted to talk about. They scratched their neck nervously.

-"How to say this... Uhm... Your sketchbook somehow shows drawings of your life while unconscious? Like... You could know the future thanks to it?" They said, more asking, they didn't know how to say this casually. You stopped what you were doing to look at them with wide eyes. 'What. The. Fuck?' How is this possible?

-"What kind of drugs are you on?" You asked, bewildered. They sulked down, you could almost see the anime effect.

-"I'm not on drugs! It's true! See by yourself!" They exclaimed at you, trying to persuade you. You were looking at them with an unimpressed look but thought about it anyways. 'It's not like it's the weirdest thing they said to me.' You facepalmed before glancing at your sketchbook. You hesitated before taking it, which has picked (B/F/N)'s attention. They stopped what they were doing.

-"(Y/N)! I... Don't think you should do that-"

-"That's what you told me to do, are you serious?" You raised an eyebrow at them, seeing they still tried to prevent you from seeing the drawings.

-"Well, yes but I've changed my mind!" They said, trying to take the item that you were lifting above your head.

-"Maybe you did, but I haven't so let me see!" You said, getting more pissed but stopped when you saw they were genuinely distressed. They had a panicked look into their eyes. You sighed.

-"(B/F/N), why don't you want me to see?" You asked them, they glanced/glared at you.

-"Have you never watched movies? It's never good to know their future." They said crossing their arms, you were still not convinced and were ready to talk back when they spoke again. They looked away while doing so.

-"And I don't want you to see since I want to change some fragments, the drawings I'm talking about aren't drawn by pens or brushes, they are made with pencils, which means they are erasable and can be changed." They said, rather quietly. You were scrutinizing their face in silence, trying to think about it.

-"But wouldn't that make you feel pressured? Don't you want to share this with me like you shared me the fact that we were... You know?" You asked out of concern. They smiled their signature smile.

-"Don't worry about me (Y/N), I can handle this, I'm an adult too you know, I should take responsibilities." They told you, you chuckled.

-"I thought the same way before my mental and physical health fell down to the floor." You joked, they laughed a bit before going back into a more serious state.

-"Yeah, but don't worry about it. Still can I ask you a favour?" They asked. You tilted your head, curious.

-"Of course, anything for my bestie~" You chuckled before realising that maybe it was something serious so you apologized, they just chuckled back while shaking their head.

-"Anyways, I wanted to ask... If you could... Draw me in your sketchbook?" They asked you, now you were more than curious.

-"Why?" You asked, tilting your head.

-"I've observed that the way the sketchbook is affected will affect your future too. By example, I have the right to think that when the pages were damaged, that's what caused the moment where you were shot and brought back to the 'real world'. So I rightfully thought that maybe, if I was drawn on it, I could join you at some point in your 'adventure'." (B/F/N) explained, you listened carefully. (B/F/N) joining you in the countryhumans's world? Of course you'd say yes! It would be amazing! Your eyes sparkled.

-"Of course I'll do it! No way I'm gonna waste this chance!" You exclaimed before looking through your bag for a pen. (B/F/N) looked at you furiously searching into your bag and let out a sad chuckle. You were still thinking of the 'fun' you could have together in the countryhumans's world but they were personally thinking on how to prevent you from being hurt, yet again there'll still be fun moments to share with you.

After a few minutes of searching you finally found something to draw with. You took your sketchbook and searched an empty page, flipping through the pages you already saw. Now that (B/F/N) revealed to you the hidden sides of the drawings you couldn't help but see more of the similarities between the drawings and the situations you lived in. You shivered before arriving to the last page you saw. You were hesitating to turn it now, what if the next page was a drawing of your future? (B/F/N) saw your hesitation and holded out their hand for the book.

-"Do you want me to do it? I don't remember all the pages by heart but at least I could tell you if it's your future or not." They offered, you thought about it for a second before handing them the sketchbook. They flipped the page and stayed silent, scrutinizing the seemingly drawing on the page.

-"So what is it?" You asked nervously, they looked up at you.

-"It's just a drawing of Third Reich and Weimar." They said, you picked up at this.

-"Really?!" You said, how exciting it was to find new drawings on your sketchbook who seemed to have just appeared, that was so weird to think of! You went behind (B/F/N) and looked above their shoulder. Indeed, there were the two German brothers, they were looking older than last time you saw them but they weren't completely adult.

You squinted your eyes, you couldn't see clearly what they were doing or what position they were in, you could only see it was them because of the bright colours of their flags but you couldn't see anything else, like if, they wanted to hide something from your eyes. The only thing that was clear enough to see was a little date written at the bottom of the page. '1933' Your joyful expression quickly vanished. That was the year of when Hitler arrived to the power, in other words, when the Third Reich started. That means that Weimar was...

You gulped. Was this what the drawing was about? Weimar's death? You looked away. Something tells you that you were lucky that the drawing was blurred.

You sighed, well, it was inevitable. But still... You shook your head to get these thoughts out before picking your pencil and started sketching on the next page, that was completely blank.

-"I'll draw both of us since it'll be weird if I just draw you alone like this. Yet again, I'm not used to draw real people so it might take a while." You said to (B/F/N), who just nodded before looking at your upcoming drawing. They loved watching you draw, you looked so focused!

(Timeskip)

You looked one last time at your drawing before nodding at yourself, it looked great to you. Well, as great as your confidence can think of, which means not much but you knew that your best friend loved it since they had big a smile admiring the drawing of both of them on the page.

You were too lazy to draw a background but you still did some kind of lines or something that reminds you of the street but oh well, you both were just standing anyways, you didn't know how to make them pose so they just stayed here like dummies (both sense of the term).

You shivered when a cold water drop touched your shoulder. You looked up, the sky was gray, it had been a long time since you had been drawing. It was now late afternoon and it started raining.

-"I think we should go back now" you said to (B/F/N). They looked up and saw the dark clouds.

-"Yeah, I think the same." You both got up, you had your bag on your back but you don't know why, but you didn't put your sketchbook in here. It was in your hands. The rain could stain it but you wanted to see something, you didn't have the slightest idea of what it could be but you just played along.

You got out of the park quietly and slowly, the people started to go away seeing that the rain wouldn't stop and had gotten stronger but you and (B/F/N) stayed at the same path. You both liked rain, it was comforting.

While walking on the sidewalks you looked at your new drawing, the both of you didn't hold many expressions on your faces, just like now actually. Soon the page started to get stained by the rain. The water had flowed on the lines of the background and deformed them a bit, making it look more realistic.

You smiled at yourself, you already saw some people drawing with colored water and it was very pretty but it was more beautiful when it's the nature who does it instead.

(B/F/N) take a look over your shoulder, and looked at your drawing before realising something.

-"Heh, it looks just like the street now!" They said, pointing at the background. You looked more closely at your drawing then at your surroundings. Indeed it was almost identical.

-"You're right, it's weird. But I'm too tired to think of that." You told them before yawning. What? You get tired pretty easily but that doesn't mean that you're going to sleep anytime soon.

(B/F/N), them, was more intrigued by this coincidence than you, considering their own experience with the book, you could only admit that it was fair. But still, this time it's just a coincidence, right?

-"Can you hand it to me please?" Your best friend asked you, you didn't question it and do as they said. They took it carefully (they still look at it like it's some kind of Bible)

They scrutinized the book, their eyes were squinted with a serious look. What was so special about it?

-"Did you find anything that catches your attention?" You asked them, while looking around the street. Your hair was now completely wet with the rain, the same with (B/F/N) but neither both of you cared about it.

-"I know that tone, you're judging me." (B/F/N) said, eyes stuck on the drawing, you just shrugged.

-"What can I say, it's just my drawing getting wet by the rain, I don't see anything special about it." You replied, they chuckled in response.

-"Trust me, (Y/N), seeing the number of hours I spent watching every single fragments of these drawings, I'm proud to say that I know that nothing happens by hasard in this book." You raised an eyebrow.

-"Okay but what could possibly mean some drops of water on a drawing?"

-"It changed the background to make it look like the place we are in. That means that whatever is going to happen, it's going to happen now." You looked at them, your attention was now picked.

-"Are you serious?" You asked in disbelief. They nodded.

-"I am. Completely sure even." You looked down to your sketchbook.

-"But still, what could it possibly mean-" You were cut off by a car passing next to you in a huge puddle, you both looked up to the water that was going to hit on both of you like a big wave. You couldn't say a word before the water splashed on you, making you lose balance.

You slipped on the water and fell on your butt on the sidewalk, now completely wet. The book fell off your grap and fell on the ground with a 'plouf'.

(B/F/N) picked it immediately and turned it around. The sketchbook fell on the side of the drawing, either way it wouldn't have been funny (Why is it always like this?)

Now the drawing was completely soaked, you looked at it with a frown. You spent hours on this only for it to be erased by the rain, what sick joke is it?

After a few struggles you managed to get up. It was completely useless to try to dry you since it was still raining so you turned to help (B/F/N) to get up but their eyes were stuck to the drawing, completely wide.

You stayed with your hand out, waiting, and waiting... But they didn't move one bit, they were still frozen on the ground. You frowned.

-"(B/F/N)... Get up now, it's no big deal if the drawing is damaged, I can still do another." You said, trying to cheer them up. They finally took off their eyes off the book to look at you.

-"It's... It's not that. It just..." They got up, not using your hand so you just put it back at your side awkwardly. But you were still focused on them, what did shook them so much?

-"It was just... It meant to happen." They told you, you tilted your head, what are they talking about this time?

-"I... I'm not sure to understand." You said slowly, they sighed.

-"Look." They showed you the drawing, you grimaced, it didn't look very pretty now.

-"Yeah... I'm not very happy with what I'm seeing, we look like dead people." You pointed at the drawing, where the both of you were now full of rain, dirt, and what looked like small rocks of the sidewalk.

-"Yeah, that's what I thought too when I saw this." (B/F/N) told you. You raised an eyebrow.

-"And it was because of this that you froze?" You asked. They looked away for a moment before locking eyes with you.

-"I... I'm not sure..." They thought for a moment before flipping the pages of the sketchbook, visibly searching something.

-"Here, look at this." They said, the page they stopped at was the one they damages with the older drawings of Christoph and Berthold.

-"See, the page is damaged, some parts are gone with the glue but look more closely." They told you. You took it from their grasp, the characters were almost unidentifiable because of the markings, you realised they were more on Christoph than Berthold.

-"What..." You mumbled at yourself but they heard it anyways. They pointed at Christoph.

-"I think this page shows when Christoph died, it was in this battle. You can see that Berthold had some injuries but not as much as him." They explained, you just looked at it with wide eyes, the feeling of dread went to you.

The sketchbook itself really showed the life of an entire universe, how's that possible? No, how's that possible that it shows your life? You looked up at (B/F/N).

-"What's the point of you telling me that?" You asked them seriously, something tells you that you didn't want to hear the answer. They sighed before flipping back at your drawing. The sight of you two created a scenario in the back of your mind but you shook it off, when you looked at (B/F/N) you started to realise what they were trying to say.

-"Are we... Gonna die?" You asked in a small voice. Eyes stuck on the drawing, it looked more apparent now, the background said it all, it was where you were at the moment. It you were really gonna die, it would be tonight.

-"I..." (B/F/N) tried to say something but their voice got stuck.

-"So that's true..." You said in disbelief, you jumped when (B/F/N) suddenly put a hand on your arm, they took back the sketchbook before taking your hand in theirs.

-"Do you trust me (Y/N)?" They asked. You stared at them. Did you?

-"It's not what you think it is (Y/N)." they continued, their voice was also shaky, needless to say that they were afraid.

-"Your life don't end here, I promise."

-"You promise?" They jumped out of their transe when you talked back. They smiled even if their eyes were sad.

-"I promise." You smiled a little bit, you didn't know what was going to happen but the drawing was clear, it's going to be together.

-"Now, are we gonna just wait our death?" You asked, trying to lift a bit the mood but that didn't work.

-"You still didn't answer my question." They said, locking eyes with you.

-"Do you trust me, yes or no?" They asked.

-"I do." You said almost immediately. They were your best friend, you believed them, when they promised that you were going to continue your life, you believed it. They smiled and tightened their grip on your hand.

-"I hope neither both of us are gonna regret this." They declared. You were confused for a moment...

... Only for a moment. You couldn't process anything when suddenly they pushed you and tackled you to the ground.

You didn't even try to push them away, you didn't understand anything. That's when you realised that both of you weren't on the sidewalk anymore, you were on the street. You widened your eyes in fear and looked up at (B/F/N) that was now more hugging you than anything, you even saw tears in the corner of their eyes.

You realised they were scared to death, but they were still forcing to stay on the ground. You were scared but, that wouldn't be the first time you were in a situation of danger.

You didn't understand why they were doing this, but you decided to trust them. After all, it was clear that they didn't like it more than you do.

-"Heh (B/F/N)!" You yelled, trying to cover the sounds of the rain and the trafic, you were confused on how there weren't any car yet but you were a bit thankful.

They weakly looked at you, surprised seeing you weren't angry at them or anything. You just smiled.

-"I hope it's truck-kun that's going to kill us!" You exclaimed, they smiled a bit.

-"I-" they were cut off by the sound of a vehicle approaching your heads quickly turned to look at it, it's lights flashed your eyes and, before you could think of anything, you felt it hitting your whole body.

You felt like your ears were burning and ringing. You could feel the familiar taste of blood in your mouth and your eyes just saw multiple colours and forms switching at a inhuman speed.

You suddenly felt very tired, your whole body felt numb, you felt like it was melting, your eyes started to close. Knowing better you didn't try to keep them open.

You left a last sigh... It hurts a lot but you didn't want to be scared about death.

You decided to trust (B/F/N).
