[And—

And she's gone. That's it, Lucy's—she's—

There's no screaming, no fits, no desperate wailing. Clover staggers a half-step forward when Lucy vanishes from her arms, and stops. The tears from before still stain Clover's face, but nothing new follows. She's stopped shaking. She watches the execution all the way through, her eyes wide and still but unfocused.

Clover doesn't make a sound when she collapses to her knees in the snow. There's no noise at all when she slumps over, curling into herself. The too slight rise and fall of her chest with each breath comes too slow, too far apart. It's the only movement she makes at all.

Without looking carefully, she could be dead, too.]

...

Clover, I think you should come with me tonight...okay?

[There isn't much she thinks she can do, but Clover shouldn't be alone. Not tonight.]

[Even with Buddy there, Clover doesn't move, doesn't speak at all. If she even notices that Buddy's speaking to her through the fog of her own thoughts, Clover doesn't acknowledge her.]

[There's no surprise when no response comes. Buddy instead wraps her arms around Clover and gently pushes up to get her on her feet.]

I'll drag you back to my room if that's what it takes. You can't stay out here either way.

[That's probably what it's gonna take because Clover is an absolute dead weight here. She's not resisting, anyway? If nothing else she doesn't seem to have a problem with what's happening here. Then again, she wasn't about to have a problem with staying out in the snow all night, either.

At least she's not terribly heavy even if she isn't helping at all???]

Clover...

[She's not too great at this whole comforting thing - usually her best offer is to beat up whatever's hurting her friend, but well...that's probably futile right now. So she just puts one awkward hand on Clover's shoulder.]

Come on. You shouldn't stay here.

[No reaction at all; Clover doesn't even flinch at Undyne's touch. The snow is a totally fine place to be. This is where she lives now.]
