This story is a sequel to Day Zero

Wallflower knows she doesn't deserve all the patience, understanding and compassion Sunset gives her. If only Sunset understood that too.

One summer evening, Wallflower Blush finds herself lost in the dark corners of her mind. Then a friend comes to her aid and fixes everything.

Because that’s what happens.

Of course it is.

Wallflower just wanted to be forgotten. It was best for everyone if she was just left alone for good. That's why she hates Sunset, for never just giving her what she wanted.

That's why she loves her too.

One day, she interrupts one of her usual uploads to ask about these questions.
