READ FIRST:
This section is NOT canon. I wasn't feeling well, and just wrote this on a whim. This section is depressing, purposefully so. I don't know how much it'll effect everyone, so don't read it if you think it might put you in a bad mood. I'll get back to writing normally when I figure out how to continue the story. For those wondering, the part set Enforcer is wearing is the Sheriff set, with the Agrizz CV head. That is all.

“En!? En!? Dammit, En, a-answer me!” Farrid half screamed, tears welling up in her eyes. “N-no way, this isn’t happening! En…EN!!” She yelled, staring at the Cast’s lifeless body. Placing her hands on Enforcer’s shoulders, Farrid looked into what would normally be his blue eyes. Instead, she was met with a dark line, bent into a slight v shape. With a brief intake of air, Farrid turned her head and looked at Cornelia, who had her face covered with her hands, her body shaking slightly.
“C-Cornelia, he’s….”
“No! Don’t say it…He can’t be…He’s too stubborn to…” Cornelia moved her hands, revealing tears streaking down her pretty face, those of her left eye following the path of her scar. “Oh, En…” She whispered; a completely demoralized look on her face, her shoulders starting to tremble more.
Hivernia knelt down, sliding her helmet off. Placing her left hand on Enforcer’s chest, she leaned in close. “Enforcer?” She whispered, “Enforcer...” After a moment of silence, Hivernia bowed her head, resting it against his, and balled the hand she had on his chest into a fist, her entire body beginning to shake. “Idiot…” She mumbled, over and over, “Idiot…this is your fault…diagnostics are showing 80% of internal processes are out of sync…this is entirely your fault, Enforcer…” She looked up at his face, and gingerly tugged the facemask that covered her nose and mouth down, before pressing her lips against his cheekplate.
Farrid and Cornelia both looked at Hivernia solemnly; they both knew how close she and Enforcer had gotten. Suddenly, Hivernia slammed her fist into Enforcer’s right shoulder, “Why? Why, why, why, why, why….?”
Farrid hesitantly placed her hands on Hivernia’s shoulders. “C-come on, Hive, we’ve got to call for extract, s-since the pipes aren’t working….” Hivernia quietly nodded, and allowed Farrid to steer her out of the room.
Cornelia quietly stared at the broken cast as the two left. After a moment, she realized she was alone in the room, and shivered. “Come on En…this is mean. You have to get up and tell the other’s you’re alright…” The green haired Newman mumbled as she grabbed Enforcer’s left arm, attempting to pull him up. She lost her grip on his hand and the battered Cast’s frame crashed back to the ground with a clatter, falling over in the process. Then silence. The stunned Hunewy looked on in disbelief before a fresh batch of tears began rolling down her face. “Wh-what is this? Y-You’re supposed to yell at me for always dropping you…” Falling to her knees, Cornelia reached out to prop the body back up, but stopped, “Who am I supposed to tease, now? En…d-don’t just lay there…get up and let this all be a bad joke so we can go back home and have fun…”
Nothing.
Quietly, Cornelia propped Enforcer back up and sat down next to him, words failing her, curling up slightly. Later, Farrid and Hivernia walked back in. Hivernia dropped down to her knees in front of Enforcer and wrapped her arms around his midsection, resting her head against his chest.
“The dropship is here, Cornelia…” Farrid mumbled, finally regaining a bit of her composure.
“Alright…” The Newman said, her voice slightly empty. She stood up, and wrapped her arms under Enforcer’s left shoulder. Hivernia hesitantly let go and grabbed his right shoulder, and the two lifted the lifeless frame while Farrid quietly collected Enforcer’s weapon, his favorite spear, a Patty Lumeria. The three quietly made their way to the dropship, the only words spoken by Cornelia,
“Time to go home, En.”
