[Signless recognizes the quirk, and his heart leaps in his chest. Yes, he knows the writing style, but not... not that color. The color is wrong, and what it's saying is all wrong too.]

PSII?
PSII, MY DEAREST FRIEND, IS THAT YOU?

2y2tem de2iignatiion: Helmsman of the Battleship Condescension.

[ This wasn't supposed to be possible. None of this. It couldn't be, really. He was the Helmsman. He did not have friends, he had Her. Everything in his existence was for Her. ]

[No.]

[No, they made him a Helmsman, they forced him into that, how could they no no no no!]

[It's a few minutes before Signless responds. At least the change in color is reassuring.]

BECAUSE YOU REMEMBER ME, HELMSMAN.
YOU REMEMBER WHO I AM, AND WHAT WE ARE, DON'T YOU?
YOU REMEMBER BEING PSII.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER BEING PSII.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER BEING PSII, THEN YOU'LL REMEMBER...

PLEASE, PLEASE REMEMBER.

YES.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
THE ICONOGRAPHY OF MOIRALLEGIANCE.

[He's worried about his safety? Yes, that means Psii is still in there... somewhere.]

I'M NOT IN DANGER, MY FRIEND.
YOU ARE SOMEWHERE SAFE NOW.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT?
ABOUT A PLACE WHERE BLOOD DIDN'T MATTER?

THAT'S HERE, PSII.
IT'S HERE.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID ANYMORE.

[He dies?]

[Signless glances down at his bandaged wrists, realizing, for the first time, what the inevitable outcome of his torture would be. Then he shrugs; his own mortality and fate are not important right now, not while his friend is hurting so badly.]

I'M NOT GOING TO DIE, PSII.
NOT WHILE YOU'RE HERE AND YOU NEED ME.
PLEASE... WHERE ARE YOU?
TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE.

[ Psii still doesn't get this. He knows bits and pieces, new parts of the picture jumping in seemingly at random, but there's this incredible void.

But strangely, those bright red words are more soothing than not. ]

You wiill contiinue to exii2t 2o long a2 II requiire you?

[Curiousity. Yes, that's good. Curiousity reassures Signless that somewhere, down under what was done to him, his friend still exists.]

I WON'T LEAVE YOU ALONE, PSII.
I WON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU AGAIN.

THIS IS A PLACE WHERE DIFFERENT TIMES EXIST SIMULTANEOUSLY.
KARKAT IS MY DESCENDENT, AND THE INDIGO, GAMZEE, IS MY FRIEND.
LULU IS HERE TOO, PSII.

DO YOU REMEMBER LULU?
TALL, DIGNIFIED JADEBLOOD, VERY BEAUTIFUL, TOOK CARE OF US ALL?

SHE CAN HELP YOU TOO.
