3rd POVIn a classroom, a levitating skeleton illusion with organs inside it can be seen. A young Y/n then places a plaque under it, which reads: 'THE TITAN; MEAT TYRANT; OR; VEGGIE KING.' The skeleton is then revealed to be holding a chicken leg on one hand, and celery on the other as a teacher walks by and sees it.
Illusion teacher: Very nice work. And how is working with your partner?
Young Y/n: It was great, we're actually besties now!
Illusion teacher: Then I think you'll do just fine in this class. [Walks off.]
Young Y/n: Gee, this is working out well... I dare say a bit too well. [Looks at the skeleton.]
Two students then walk in, both from the illusion track. One of them, the dark-haired boy, is holding two books between his armpits as he listens to his friend speaking.
Orange-haired student: Yeah, I killed it in fantasy grudgby this weekend.
Dark-haired student: You just.. didn't do the assignment?
Orange-haired student: I got the new kid to do it for me. And all I had to do was pretend to be their "bestie." Hmm?
Someone sniffles, which is revealed to be Y/n, upset that someone only used them to do the assignment. Y/n dispels the figurine, grabs their bag and runs out of the class with tears rolling down their face.
Orange-haired student: Aw, come on... [Realizes he forgot Y/n's name.]...dude! It was just a joke!
[Y/n runs inside a classroom and sits down dejectedly, wiping their tears off of their cheeks.]
Young Y/n: I was right, it was too well! Why do I keep falling for their lies? [Accidentally bangs their head on the desk behind them; a book from above it hits them.] Ack! [Their eyes start glowing.] Ugh, not another episode!
Visions of the two students who they encountered earlier escape from behind them and they project a wide vision of the forest as the two students approach them.
Orange-haired student illusion: [Laughs.] Aww, the poor wittle baby got their feewings hurt.
Dark-haired student illusion: Talent can't make up for gullibility. [The two laugh at Y/n, making them feel even more stupid.]
Just then, they hear another voice, attempting to communicate with Y/n.
Unknown student: Um.. [Different voice.] Hello there. [An abomination waves slowly at Y/n; its hand suddenly melts, revealing the bone of a finger.]
Someone chuckles and reveals themselves from another desk; it turns out to be a younger Willow.
Young Willow: Sorry, I- I was trying to be funny, but, I just ended up being horrifying. I.. thought I was the only one that hid here.
Dark-haired student illusion: Uh, who's that?
Orange-haired student illusion: You might as well just do her homework now. Get it over with.
Young Y/n: [Buries their head in their legs.] Go away!
Young Willow: [Confused.] Are you talking to me?
Young Y/n: All of you!
Willow smiles, purges through the illusion and sits beside Y/n.
Young Willow: Hey. Sometimes I get wrapped up in my own thoughts too. But my dads taught me a little trick to quiet the voices.
She starts inhaling, her hands counting from 1 to four, and exhaling as her hands count back to 1. Y/n follows the second time, shakily inhaling and exhaling, and after, Y/n's eyes turn normal again. The visions start to disappear.
