Summary
There’s something about loneliness when you feel it, easy to recognize when it settles inside you. It feels so painfully obvious, almost universal, like something everyone must already understand. But the loneliness you leave behind is harder to name. It moves outward, passed from one person to the next, spreading quietly as neglect. That’s when it stops being just a feeling and becomes a consequence. It’s something else when you realize what it means to be missing, and what it costs to be the one who someone else goes after, until there’s less and less of you to find.
That’s when you really feel both the consequence of being the person who’s missing, and the person that’s constantly searching, all in itself.

Summary
Karkat wheels on him. “AND YOU. You’re too calm.”
Dave shrugs again. “Maybe I meditated.”
“Yes. Sure. Great. Let’s all believe Dave Strider decided to find inner peace TODAY of all days.”
Vriska tilts her head. “So what? Are you accusing us of something?”
“Oh, I’m not accusing,” Karkat says, stabbing the air with his finger. “I’m OBSERVING. You two vanished at the same time, came back at the same time, and you’re both WAY TOO QUIET.”
“Yeah,” Dave says slowly. “That’s called… coincidence.”
----What happens when eight Sburb players are stuck in adulthood, on a meteor, mid-game with Lord English arguments, games, movies, anger, boredom, and mild amounts of hormones? It turns into a real-life game of Clue, except instead of murder, it’s a romance between the two most unlikely paired, least romantic people on the meteor. How long can they lie until the meteor bursts into a comedic flame? More importantly, how long can Strider sidestep all of his confusing ambivalence towards Vriska?
