## Before the picnic

### Finding Fish

After finding out Fish had died, Sperlo visited his house, likely hoping to find it alive miraculously. She got exactly what she hoped for, running into Daixxa and Fish. Sperlo was confused about how he was alive, after being told it was dead. He explained that he wasn't sure, but he knows he was revived, and it had something to do with Lemon. Sperlo doesn't push further, but decides to reunite her family, and invite Fish and, reluctantly, Daixxa to a picnic. They agree, and head back home to Daixxa's house together.

### Meeting Cryptk

Sperlo doesn't initially tell Cryptk that Fish will be at this picnic, as she wants it to be a surprise. She convinces Cryptk to come with her, telling him they're going to have a picnic. Cryptk, being from the nether, doesn't really understand what a picnic is, but comes anyways out of pity.

## The Picnic

Sperlo and Cryptk arrive at the picnic, where Fish and Daixxa are waiting for them. Cryptk was shocked that Fish was alive, but excited as it meant that he was getting results. Fish only went to the picnic to get answers out of Cryptk, and Daixxa was just there to protect Fish, so it was tense as the only person there with nice intentions was Sperlo. Sperlo tries to guide the conversation into a friendly conversation, but finds that difficult due to the others just wanting to argue. Fish goes on about how Cryptk literally killing him was awful, to which Cryptk continually replies that it just meant results. To this, Fish and Daixxa are appalled at their reaction.

Eventually, Fish notices Sperlo desperately trying to redirect the conversation and just getting talked over, and brings the attention to her. She just tries to ask random questions, hoping to get a conversation going, but the others are angry, so she struggles. They eventually pay more attention to the food that Sperlo set up, and eat some. Shortly, though, the passive aggressive comments start again.

Finally, tensions rise too much and Daixxa snaps. She attacks Cryptk, and the two break into a fight. Neither of them were badly injured before being pulled apart by Sperlo and Fish. After this, Cryptk runs off, with Sperlo following him, and Daixxa and Fish just return to their house. Sperlo continually pleads for Cryptk to return to the picnic, just wanting for her family to be together and peaceful again. He keeps telling her that he wont, and clearly he wasn't welcome. Eventually, Sperlo places a sign that says "I will return to the picnic", and asks Cryptk to read it out. He breaks the sign, so she asks "can you not read?". This upsets Cryptk, so he lashes out at her, slashing her in the face and giving her a scar. After this, Cryptk just runs home, leaving Sperlo.

## The Spectator

Sperlo walks back to the picnic alone, and finds that Daixxa and Fish have left. That's when she notices a stranger there. Throughout the picnic, Sperlo and the others had been noticing movement around them, and at one point Cryptk even said they were being watched, but it was never investigated thoroughly. Sperlo figured this was the person who had been watching them. The stranger, who was Timebomb, realised Sperlo saw her and goes to run off, to which Sperlo cries out for her to stay because she desperately needs someone right now, feeling incredibly alone. Timebomb stays, and they introduce themselves to each other.

Timebomb then takes Sperlo to their house nearby, and helps Sperlo clean the bleeding from their scar, and helps it heal a bit. Sperlo explains what was happening at the picnic, but keeps reassuring Timebomb that families fight. Eventually, the two go and do things together, such as building a therapy place, which was never completed. After they split ways, Timebomb talks of how she feels obliged to protect Sperlo, and how they think they're going to be good friends.
