Boomie was anxious walking around in Kantjes mind with Onion. He never liked being in peoples minds due to bad past experiences. As they were walking Onion stopped in front of a new doorway, it looked like a library or sorts, as he approached it with Onion he felt a sense of unease.
The bright light appeared again and Kantje was in that room, standing right in front of the throne holding his trident. Boomie heard him sigh and start talking to, him?
“Hey Boomie… It’s been uhm.. a year and a half for me now. Since Arcadia, I decided to take a normal trident this time. I just.. I miss you.. the- the you who knew what to do at all times, the more I see you the less I know you and it’s getting difficult to cope with that and now I stand here before a chair where two of my friends laid down their life for me. And all I can think is never again. I promise you that now Boomie no matter what, no mater how and no matter what way I will achieve it. No one will ever five their life for me again.” Kantje said and boomie heard the sorrow and guilt in his voice, making Boomie’s heart ache.
Because how could Kantje not realize he is Boomies best friend. The person who forgave Boomie for what he will do. Boomie felt the world go silent for a minute. This is how I’m going to die… I always knew this day would come, and Kantje… I’m happy my death means something. I’m sorry. I never wanted you to blame yourself.
Boomie takes a step back and walks up the stairs back into the main hallway looking at Onion. “Uh oh.. spoilers I guess.” Boomie said with slight amusement in his voice.
“Is it ok that you heard that??” Onion asked the worry evident in her voice.
“Who knows… but I’ve known it’s been coming for a while. So thats how I die huh? A library, I see traces of a blast…” Boomie says he voice neutral and unbothered as he sighs. “oh well, what can you do? I’ve always known this was coming, one way or another-“ Boomie says before he’s interrupted by Kantjes voice.
“Things make sense now-“ “I’ve always known it was coming you know.” Boomie says cutting him off.
“What do you mean you’ve always known..?” Kantje asks as he appears in front of them, his voice distorted due to the armor. “You’re not that far yet…”
“No. I’ve always known my ending is going to come back for me one time. I mean I’ve lived for 22,000 years almost. I’m not going to be alive for long, and I know that, and as sad as that is, some of us are meant to die.” Boomie said calmly staring into Kantjes now purple eyes.
“Wait.. You-You’ve always known you were going to die for me…?” Kantje asks in pure confusion his voice going back to normal.
“Yeah, I’ve always known” Boomie said stepping closer to Kantje.
Kantje took a step back in shock.
“Kantje, I need to tell you something, and I need you to listen until the end, ok? I’m saying this now because I doubt you’ll remember this when the armor is off. I’m sorry Kantje. I’m sorry for what I did, for what I will do. There were so many times the only thing that kept me going was the thought of finally meeting you. You are my best friend Kantje. I would do anything to help you, or to save you. I would die a thousand times over, for you my friend.” Boomie says staring into Kantjes eyes. Kantje backed away in denial, “No-No everyone looked at me like I was a monster.. you’re lying to me..” Kantje said slowly backing away before disappearing.
“Lets keep going kid..” Boomie said to Onion softly staring at the spot Kantje used to be.
I will save you Kantje, I will always be by your side, even if I die a thousand deaths for you my friend.
