    Summary

    A day has passed since Tenna settled into life with Mettaton- watched and appreciated, he's very hesitantly happy with this new, shaky life.

    That is, until two certain kids get a little too curious, making the Knight have to set an example- or, perhaps, cause a distraction?

    Originally a supposed murder attempt, Tenna can now walk around in the Light World, able to switch between ordinary TV and monster. Now he has to actually put the work into acting like a person, sorting through his trauma, and getting to know his new roommate. When characters from his past start making things more complicated, will he be able to handle the pressure? Or will he shatter for a third time?

    Summary

    "For a moment the world is a brief, dizzying, overloaded blur of senses and inputs roaring back into his brain—like hundreds of spiders crawling all over the inside of his tube, faint prickles and buzzing and probing and poking and biting and burning everywhere all at once. His head feels like it could split in two; his screen feels like it could burst, shredding his bed curtains in an explosive shower of glass.

    He feels alive."

    Summary

    "…Ohhh, no, okay, he knows what this is. At this point, he can spot it a mile away; Tenna was always awful at it, sure, but that doesn't mean he never, never stopped trying to dodge things like he was playing one of his crappy go-kart games.

    That's fine, then, right? Mike knows how to deal with that. The guy just needs a little encouragement, an open mic—a shoulder to drape all 15-something feet of himself over. In the midst of everything different, the familiarity of it is… not comforting, not really, but something on that wavelength. Mike's got it. Mike can be a good friend again.

    He has to."

    Summary

    Susie donates Tenna to the school after Chapter 3 in this version of events. Now considered a permanent resident of Castle Town because of this, Tenna is desperate to make a good first impression upon both the Darkners of the town and Lightners of the school. His first show goes horribly wrong when he pushes himself too hard too soon after his near death at the hands of The Knight. He collapses on stage upon aggravating the injury in his right shoulder. This mistake leaves him dealing with chronic pain in that shoulder and the dire reality that he can no longer perform without aggravating it further. Haunted by the cold and what The Knight did to him, he's left trying to pick up the pieces with his purpose as a Darkner shattered. He will have no other choice but to find meaning and purpose beyond what the Lightners made him for.
