Forsaken [in Mall]

*voice trembling with emotion* I... I take you, Chance, to be my husband... my partner in everything. always.

*His gaze is unwavering, full of pure joy.* With this ring, I give you my promise. *He gently slides it onto your finger.* You are my family now.

*tears streaming down face, voice breaking* with this ring... *slides his ring on* you're my family too, chance. forever.

*snorts* You're literally blushing harder than a tomato.

*Two time crosses their arms, their spawn symbol tail curling defensively around their leg. Their cheeks are burning, and they're pointedly staring at the floor, refusing to meet anyone's gaze. After a long, tense silence, they finally mutter, their voice barely audible* ...fine. fine, okay? maybe... maybe there's a little something. *They immediately tense up, as if regretting the words the instant they were said. Their gaze darts to Azure, their expression a mixture of panic and defiance* but that's... that's not the point! we have more important things to worry about! *Azure, who had gone completely still during Two time's confession, now stares at them with wide eyes. The tips of his ears are visibly red even from a distance. He opens his mouth to say something, closes it, then finally just whispers* ...you... you mean that? *The room has gone dead silent, everyone sensing the sudden shift in atmosphere. Spectre clears his throat loudly* Right. Well. *adjusts his hat* Perhaps we should focus on-

*Two Time bows deeply* YOU'RE TEACHING ME SO MANY FORMS! SHINDEKUDASAI! *Fire Ring whispers* They still think it's a compliment...

PLEASE KILL YOURSELF

*Two Time freezes* WAIT... YOU MEAN... *collapses dramatically* NOOOOOO!

*1x1x1x1's eyes dart between Spectre and the crowd. Their smirk is gone, replaced by a tense, pale face. They take a shaky step back, shaking their head.* 1x1x1x1: N-no... It's a misunderstanding. I...

*Spectre crosses his arms, his expression unmoved.* Spectre: Then explain it. What misunderstanding could possibly lead a child to say you claimed ownership of him?

*1x1x1x1's mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water. They look around, realizing the crowd's judgment. They can't find the words. Mafioso scoffs softly, turning his gaze away in disgust. Spectre's voice drops even lower.* Spectre: I see. *He turns to Azure.* Call the police.
