she signed off stream wishing her viewers one final goodbye
she of course was going on a break
she started packing a small amount of things, she wouldn't need a lot for this trip
she took her last trip to the grocery store, before her trip
she then took a long drive to the airport, it felt like some sort of purgatory with how long it took
while going she thought of her fans
they seemed to think she was going away forever with how they acted
she promised herself that she would return to them
she WOULD RETURN to them
she arrived at the airport taking her luggage with her
after a minor mishap with the tsa scanner, she boarded her flight
she felt a pit in her stomach, she didn't know why
she relaxed in her comfy chair, mostly made comfy by a soft blanket she brought
she started playing blue archive
she would occasionally hum to herself or practice her voice some
she was enjoying herself
the happy little korean girl sat scrunched up in her plane seat was a site to behold
tick tock
she swore she heard a clock
she did love clocks which is part of the reason why she was the goddess of time
she may have just gotten used to the sounds
it was late at night and the plane began shaking
it was mesmerizing and she started to happily sway her head with it
she swore it was getting faster
it began to get so quick it was starting to hurt her neck so she stopped
the shaking was no longer nice yet most of the passengers were still asleep
suddenly bags fell from the ceiling
an intercom blared
"it appears that we have entered turbulence"
the man sounded professional so Kronii trusted him to deal with it
everything got quicker
tick tock
suddenly the intercom turned back on
it sounded like a mistake at first because it was silent
then she swore faintly she could hear sobbing
"it is hopeless"
tick tock
she got scared as the plane increased in speed
she thought of her fans
she had promised herself that she would return to them
tick tock
there was so much noise yet she still could hear the clock
suddenly a panel flew off the wall hurling in her direction
everything froze
her life began to flash before her eyes
she remembered early life and the wonders of the Americas
she remembered growing up and discovering who she truly was
she remembered years of hell trying to make a living from her passion
she remembered the joy of joining hololive
the joy of making new friends with her coworkers
the joy of having all of her fans
finally she had made it
finally she found people who truly loved and cared for her
she now had such a great life
for that she was grateful
she still had a long life ahead of her
so much to do
so many memories to make
it all began to fade to black
"I don't want to go!"
"I love my friends and my fans!'
"please just let me live"
she began to swirl
falling deeper and deeper down a dark pit away from light
she grasped desperately towards, hopelessly towards it
a final tear rolled down her cheek as she left behind her memories
all the memories gone
all the potential gone
in her last moment she remembered something inconsequential
it was something so simple, a simple issue
it almost made her cancel her flight
she was about to do it when she had changed her mind
this decision brought about her end
she had another thought
another tear rolling down her cheek, the last was not the final
she thought one last time about her with all her friends
she was happy to have had them
she smiled and let go
it all began to fade
tick tock
tick tock
what was that
tick tock
it kept repeating
tick tock
everything had turned black yet she could still hear
tick tock
it had came back to her
her watch
that noise
she recognized it from her watch
she had set clock noises as a soft alarm
color started to come back
she slowly opened her eyes
she was back on the plane
she began to sob as she clutched at herself and her surroundings
tick tock
oh yeah
she disabled the alarm
a nearby passenger looked annoyed
she quietly and awkwardly said sorry
she was so happy to be alive
she had never been this grateful for life
she sent messages thanking everyone for being around on discord
she then made a tweet thanking her fans
she hugged herself making a little squeaking noise
finally she found joy in life
despite the late time she continued on playing her game
oh well
another day, another existential crisis
tis the life of kronii
she loved her life though
she wouldn't have it any other way
