After what feels like forever, she comes back up, pulling a restrained Chops along with her. The TCP looks nervous, looking around wildly- were they in trouble? What was with all the-
They only look more taken aback as they see Buddy, their voice coming out panicked and strained.
They swear that they didn’t hurt it that bad, they just captured it and tied it up, because M-mom told them to- they promise! They really didn’t do it!
You tell Facade that you know, and that it was Hark who injured Buddy that badly. Chops grows quiet as the clown passes it on, and nods. That…makes sense. They ask if Hark got hurt back, which you pass on that yes, she did, but only out of self defense.
Chops says nothing.
You take the opportunity to ask about “the nice voice”- what was up with that?
Chops hesitates, and says that they could get in trouble if they told, but Mom doesn’t seem to be around right now, so…it was probably okay.
They say that there’s a nice voice that they hear sometimes, that tells them not to be afraid. It made them a toy, even, and didn’t get the chance to talk to anybody else before getting pulled away again…
Mom doesn’t seem to like it very much, and they think they heard it getting yelled at for not being harsh enough with them before your TCPs showed up.
Facade says whatever she’s going to grill them on or do next is up to you.
