Having waited for an opportunity, a time when Chad goes home alone without Nyarai or anybody else following him home, a time which has finally arrived.
Entering the castle using the “key” given to her by Chad, walking through the disturbing castle, greeting Oswald… or one of his clones and then finally meeting Chad.
In a room like no other, a room for a child filled with cool weapons and terrifying beasts, magic seals that spell out:”Nobody over the age 300 allowed!”.
This is a room that belonged to young Chad, a time before he was the calm and confident beast he is today, the man that talks to gods and eldritch beings as an equal.
He is in reality a genius boy who learned magic a little too quickly and took on the responsibility for the entire world on his back, Chad AKA Nightknight.
Noticing the strange feelings and atmosphere that Selina is emitting, Chad stands up from his desk and places a strange axe back onto the wall, the axe belonging to some dead asgardian.
(Chad:)”What is the matter?” He says with a tone that oddly reminds himself of Oswald. (Selina:)”I-I’m… I-” She stutters and second guesses herself, this is not going to be easy…
Chad sighs and disappears abruptly and reappears in front of the disturbed Selina hugging her tightly. (Chad:)”Idiot… just take your time.” They hug for a good while.
Selina calms down, this is not a situation of “her being too weak to”… this is just as difficult of a situation for David, Charlotte and Chad.
These kids may face death or the end of the world, but they can’t cross some lines, they can’t take matters about each other lightly.
If anything they all are each other’s weaknesses, they can’t move forward in some situations as long as anyone else is involved.
Selina and Chad sit down at the desk and start talking quietly as if they are both scared of scaring the other away. (Chad:)”What did you want to talk about?”
(Selina:)”I-…Wanted to know about the memories…” The room goes quiet, Chad not knowing what to think and feel; Selina waiting for whatever may come out of this talk.
(Chad:)”There is not really much to say or do… I have figured out what really happened, I used some spells to know what happened that I did not remember.
And all the wrong things that I remembered… did not happen. It confused me a bunch, but I now know.” He smiles calmly, seemingly in a little better place than before.
But Selina has a strange feeling that Chad is hiding something, this may still be eating at him inside, this may be tearing him apart and she does not know what to say or do.
They spend a good while talking about the wrong memories, the many strange things that Chad liked about these memories and stuff like that… they tried to be positive.
There where some moments where Selina was actually jealous of the fake Selina in Chad’s memories, fake Selina did things she never did, but she also did things fake Selina never did…
They argued a little about fake David and real David and how strange the difference is, like fake David was much less confident and weaker.
While real David is much more of a leader, stronger and more confident… It is actually kind of shocking how much difference there can be from what Chad remembers and what reality is.
Charlotte seemed to still be Charlotte, so that was great; only bad thing was that Chad remembers bonding with Charlotte over things that did not happen.
But that is also kind of what happened to Charlotte who did not remember the real middle school experience where she bonded with Chad and David… things are a little fucked up.
In some strange way this was a great day, Chad and Selina where watching his fake memories like a movie and the highlights where the movie.
The smile of fake Chad, fake David, fake Charlotte, and fake Selina… Nyarai was not a part of the group when all this happened, his fake memories came from before Nyarai time.
Watching the many strange moments that fake Chad had with fake Charlotte that made this almost seem to ramp up into becoming a romance movie.
Selina was staring slack jawed at these memories, she knows they where fake, but still it is disturbing to see this very real looking moments that involve her close friends.
Actually did Chad have any moment like these ones with Charlotte in reality? She looks over at Chad who seems pretty chill with fake Charlotte obviously having a crush on him.
The scenes change, strange fake DavidxChad moments start playing, Chad seems very proud about these, he can’t easily show support for the memories with Charlotte or Selina.
But the memories that make David and Chad seem like long lost lovers are superb and he show a great amount of support for them, Selina is oddly annoyed by this.
Even though Selina do not have any intentions to date either Chad or David, she still feels that it would be a shame if they dated each other or somebody else.
Kind og similar to how Charlotte is faintly territorial over Chad and David, so is Selina, but in a smaller degree… she used to be much more territorial over them before.
She used to say and do crazy things when she was younger that will haunt her forever, she used to flirt HARD with both of them and they shot her down every time.
She used to be a confident dumb witch that thought that she could do anything she wanted… she messed with Charlotte once and never again.
It was actually scary how Chad and David where glaring at her for her dumbassery, she had nightmares.
Of course the moment the fake SelinaxChad moments started showing, the atmosphere got weird… like how can these two handle seeing the flirting between fake Selina and Chad?
The worst part is that these scenes where moments not far away from reality, they seem to be reality adjacent, which is also why Chad had such difficulty noticing their faults.
That day they went to the renaissance fare, the moments they had together, but in the wrong order and things that never happened and such… it was a wild watching experience.
