>You are Sunset Shimmer, and every second you spend around the group Anon is with you just get more and more confused.
>"It doesn't really matter what you want" Muddy says flatly as she drags Pop away from Sunset "Today is a group excursion, he'd get in trouble if he ditched us" her tired voice drones on.
>"But, there's nothing in the rules that says we can't invite someone to join us you see!" Silver explains.
>And so now you've somehow been roped into their little excursion, and at every chance to tell Anon that you haven't told the others about his hands one of them seems to drown out your words halfway through.
>Whether it's Pop Step steamrolling over your attempts at conversation, Silver laughing way too loudly at a joke he himself just told, or Muddy Waters suddenly giving you the Evil Eye for what seems like no reason you just can't seem to find an opportunity to tell him.
>You notice that while Anon himself is mostly silent he seems to be pretty happy among this strange group of people, he doesn't even flinch when Silver slaps him on the back or Pop Step suddenly wraps him in a full body hug (Only to receive a slap upside the head from Muddy Waters that immediately makes her disengage)
>Finally, you decide to just rip off the band aid.
"Anon, I wanted to talk about your hand" you say firmly, cutting though Pop Step's seemingly endless stories and ignoring the almost burning look Muddy Waters is giving you.
>Conversation grinds to a dead halt, and even the ever jovial Pop Step looks immediately downcast.
"You don't have to tell me what happened, and I haven't told the girls" you say firmly but with all the kindness you can "But can you please stop avoiding us?" you plead.
>Silence reigns for a moment, and just when it seems like Anon is about to reply he gets cut off by a voice so full of venom it makes you cringe.
>"Get. Out." Pop Step seethes, all traces of the bubbly girl replaced by hard edges and an almost miasmatic hate.
