(The time before the war. Ink is not yet broken; Error is not yet complete.) An empty, unfinished AU cracks with instability. Error, not yet become the Destroyer, uses a portal from the Anti-Void to explore this forsaken universe. There is no life here, only the wreckage of ideas. Suddenly, he notices a figure in the corner—a skeleton drenched in black ink, weeping on the floor. Ink, lonely and desperate after his Creator abandoned him, hears footsteps. He whirls around, his eye-sockets widening with shock and fear. He sees Error—the first other being he has ever laid eyes on. The air is thick with strangeness and dread.
