Laurance takes a deep breath, in and out. Come on Laurance, it's just sophomore year. Again. Being a Shadow Knight sucks, seeing all your friends die and then having to repeat life for the third time in the past 100 years. But, thank Irene, they also have the ability to change their appearance at will. Not that he made any friends... After all, how would they understand? That and most of the SKs are still trapped in the Never. But something in his heart tugs at him. Come on Laurance Zvhal. This time, it's important. Hey. At least he can see his best friend look-a-like. Same name, same look, same parents, same brother (actually, this Zane is more tame... less insane and... murdury... that and there isn't a Vlyad, but Laurance never found out what happened to the Vlyad he knows), but more joyful and trusting. And then his darn phone buzzes. A text from Garroth. G: hey history nerd. first day of school. wanna walk together? L: Sure, why not? He smiles internally at the thought. G: oh yeah i need to tell u something The doorbell rings. "Hey, stupid." "Hey, idiot." The pair walk to Phoenix Drop High together. "Oh, Garroth. What did you wanna tell me?" "Mmm... don't tell anyone I told you this, but my parents are in the process of adoption. I'm getting a new brother. He's a year younger than Zane, but going into his freshman year because he's actually really smart in a not murdury way." "That seems fun..." Laurance's mind ran at 500 mph. Could... a Shadow Knight in disguise?
Previous: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1134941090/ Warning! Lots of head canons! Also, the fact that this chapter is positively radioactive with MCD makes me laugh because it doesn't even count as a reference anymore... Also, this thumb from the MCD remake makes me laugh bc pre-Nether Laurance looks riddikulus! After you read: Muahahahaha!!! A cliffhanger... sort of. I kinda ran out of ideas for this chapter since it ended up more depressing than it was meant to be. But yeah. Mystreet Laurance and MCD Laurance are the same person. That's gonna be fun... *insert evil Zane laugh* Not all Mystreet characters whose MCD counterparts are SKs are gonna be the same person. Just a few.
