Summary
“Didn’t think of you as an outdoor sleeper.”
Zedaph opens his eyes, seeing ruby red studying him. Tango’s tail flicks behind him, the netherborne’s expression a familiar kindness. He plants himself next to the mountain goat, his hands pressed against the ground behind him. Tango had been one of many Hermits who still remained inflicted by the end of the last world. He had refused to venture into the night at first, and the mere sight of the moon would bring back a haunted, disturbed look to his eyes.
“I wasn’t sleeping,” Zedaph finally answers.

Summary
“Tango, hello, my friend!” Zedaph’s voice rings out. “How did that new game go? I heard from Impulse that it was about being soul bound to someone this time, and—“ He cut himself short when he realised that Tango is very much not talking. Or, at the very least, he’s not even acknowledging him. Maybe he didn’t hear him? Maybe he was AFK?
“Uh, T? Hello? You still there, mate?” Zedaph chuckles. Nervousness crawls into his voice as he steps around, closer to Tango’s side. He can finally see ice-blue eyes, but they’re not… Well, they’re not full of a beaming joy, not like they were before. Zedaph’s lips thin as he settles his hands on Tango’s shoulders, his grip tightening ever so slightly on the fabric of Tango’s winter coat.
“Tango, hey,” Zedaph says again, “what happened?” There’s still no reply, but just by the way Tango gives him a dull, almost lifeless glance, whatever had happened this time around was anything but good. He carefully pulls the netherborne into a comforting embrace.
Tango always returned them. This time, he didn’t.

Summary
The Day of the Red Sun.
Impulse remembers it all. Like it happened yesterday. Like it was all a fuzzy dream.
Except every look in the mirror reminds him otherwise. The horns protruding from his forehead, his canines longer than a normal person's - all of it is a reminder. A reminder of what he's lost and (forcibly) gained from the Red Sun.
Learning how to survive like this is all he has to worry about now.
1990, in the later months of autumn, in a little farmhouse he grew up in.
+
Martyn was a lone wolf, always on his own. He found it better that way, but the Red Sun led him to someone - someone he never wanted to lose.
It’s been months since, and the grief is still fresh in his mind. Losing Jimmy broke him, took him from caring about himself to not caring at all.
But, maybe, the new guys can be a new beginning.
1990, in the beginning of winter, in the barracks of an Adventurer’s branch.

Summary
It was sudden, the blink of an eye. Everyone had vanished - without a trace or a clue. Cities and neighbourhoods sitting silent, frozen in time.
Everyone, simply, was gone.
Except for Impulse, who steps out of his front door one morning, and finds himself alone.
Or so he thinks.
