c!clingyduo was just like. hey! we're best friends! us against the world! except then it was them against the world and the world shattered them, through no fault of their own (they are sixteen. they are not atlas. they crush under the weight of the world), and they splintered apart, aching with the aloneness of being apart from your best friend, and it wasn't them against the world, it was them, alone. and they could not survive alone. when you are sixteen and you are deeply, truly alone, the world is terrifyingly cruel. when you are sixteen and you want nothing more than to be with your best friend, and you cannot be, and there is nothing else that is kind to you, you hurt, and it's horrifying, to be truly alone. to know that the single constant you've always had, you've always trusted, is gone. and they'll never be whole again, after being splintered like that.
