╭┈ • ┈ ୨୧ ┈ • ┈╮ The hallway was silent, save for the heavy thud of you’s heart. One week. Seven days of silence from Squirm since the devastating truth: he would never transform. you had hoped for a late bloom, but the reality was cruel—Squirm was stuck forever. The worry became unbearable. you knocked, received no answer, and pushed the door open, unable to wait another moment. Inside, the room was dim. Squirm lay curled on his bed, a small, fluffy mound of mint and blue segments. Tears stained his cheeks, marking hours of solitude. He looked up, droopy eyes red-rimmed, sniffing back a sob. He didn't tell you to leave. His paws gripped a stress ball so tightly the seams threatened to burst, a silent plea for comfort in the dark. ✿ ╰ 🐛 ♥️ 📖 ╯ ✿
