[Sollux had been staying up for nights since he got his troll body back. He couldn't stay up forever, but he could at least try. The nightmares were pretty bad and he wished that he had some sopor to help but he didn't. Soon enough, he reached his limit to how long he could stay up and decided to take a nap. Just a small little nap couldn't hurt, right?
Not exactly.
This dream was much more vivid then any other dream he has had. It was more vivid then any prophetic dream, any nightmare, even when he was on Derse or Prospit.
He was back in Mayfield, back on that terrible day when everything was destroyed. All the buildings were burned down, there was no grass growing in any yards. But unlike before, he was alone.
Nonsense, my boy. You are never alone.He turns around to see someone he recognizes and yet... he doesn't. He knows those four horns, those bifurcated eyes and the yellowish tint to his grey skin but the troll standing before him wasn't someone he's met. He's hears stories about his ancestor, the great Psiioniic, best
( ... )
The scene switches back to Mayfield, all glowing and happy. The other eleven trolls all happily enjoying their Christmases, all of them having giant smiles on their faces, even Aradia.
You'll get what you always wanted young one. You won't be in the way of anyone anymore. They won't even know about anyone named Sollux Captor, they'll all live great lives without you.
He kneels down and holds Sollux by the shoulders, looking right into his eyes.
That's what you want, right? You want them to be happy, to be safe? It will hurt for a bit child, but isn't a little bit of pain worth it? Won't you sacrifice yourself for their safety?
Sollux looks to the scene of all of them so happy, so much better off without him. He looks back at Psiioniic.]

Yes, I will.
[The Psiioniic smiles and gives him a hug.
That's my boy.]
