- >Day normality in Equestria.
- >You and Rainbro are kicking some hoofball around in the park.
- >With a deft wrist, you feint to the left and manage to kick the ball past Rainbow's outstretched hooves.
- >Unfortunately the ball collides with her face and she bowls over backwards.
- >You quickly sprint to her side, already laughing.
- "Jeez Rainbow, with moves like that you will never catch the ball at this-'
- >The ball unsticks itself from Rainbow Dash's face with a squelch and rolls away.
- >What lies beneath kills the words in your throat.
- >Crouching, you try and bring yourself to say something.
- "Rainbow..."
- >Instead you slide your hands underneath her form and cradle her.
- >You rub your chin against the bruised flesh.
- "I'm so sorry..."
- >A cyan hoof raises and slaps at your chest, startling you to look down at her.
- >Her dangling right eye slowly whirls on its cord to look at you.
- >Cracked bloodied lips strain to voice words.
- >"You did this."
- "No!"
- >You drop her corpse, already turning a sickly grey color. Flies collect to her gaping dark eyesockets.
- >The sky rumbles overhead and rain begins to lightly drizzle the park.
- >Even over the hiss of the rain, Rainbow's voice reaches your ears.
- >"You did this to me."
- >The mare's form slowly levitates, her crude ruined wings flapping out of sync, her limbs dangling uselessly below her.
- >Her jaw dislodges and hits the turf with a thud, yet her voice still rumbles through you, becoming more raspy and slurred.
- >"Why did you kill me, Anon?"
- >You back away, tripping over the uneven park ground.
- >You try to crawl, but Rainbow soon hovers directly above you.
- >Rainbow's abdomen begins to swell, flesh cracking around her bloated joints.
- >Her windpipe dangles from her open mouth cavity, dripping bile and mucus around your feet. The smell almost makes you gag.
- >Suddenly blue petrified hooves wrap around your neck.
- >You look into her destroyed face. The gaping black eyesockets seem to stare at you, before the head is thrown back and you look into her maw.
- >"WHY DID YOU LET ME DIE ANONYMOUS"
- >She explodes.
- >You wake up.
- >It is morning.
- >As you sit up sharply, a cyan hoof runs across your belly.
- >"What is it, champ?" The pegasus looks up at you, her cute rainbow mane tousled from sleep.
- >Seeing her instantly calms you, and you plant a kiss on her snout.
- "Nothing sweetie. Go back to sleep."
- [spoiler]>You say these words even as the tears come to your eyes.
- >As you blink them away, the mare below you vanishes.
- >She vanished from your life a long time ago.
- >And it's all your fault.
- >You press your palms into your eyes as you begin another day facing your loss.[/spoiler]
