Palette accepted the gesture with a sweet ringing laugh before returning it. Goth smiled as he watched the interaction, which reminded him of the Gang members laughing while doing a group hug.
– Gothy – Nightmare/Palette seemingly innocently inviting him into a hug as well. The other two stood aside with playful smiles to make room for the two of them. In response Error/Goth interlaced their fingers with an angelic smile, causing Star to blush.
– I missed you – Error/Goth with genuine longing in his voice.
– I missed you too – Nightmare/Palette with genuine delight. The other two chuckled at their exchange. The whole place was filled with warm colors and for the first time Nightmare's soul was stable enough to not want to poison the pleasant atmosphere...
– We brought some sweets as a token of our congratulations – offered Outer cheerfully.
