To Be Torn Apart, And Reshaped

Summary:

An Ex Rank Reaction fic. Pretty self-explanatory. I'll be doing my best to go through all of it!
_____

The essence of forcing characters to react is rip them apart. Display their deepest secrets, their darkest moments. Relationships are strained, if not broken. Destroy their world view, making them question themselves. But asides from our entertainment, it's so when they break, they can heal right. Whether that be getting a character to realize how fucked up they are and redemption arc that fucker, or just get them to realize just how much someones done for them. It might be a dramatic view of it, but I am dramatic. Isn't that what art is anyways?

By the way, the first chapter is just set-up of the set-up. The reaction won't start until the third chapter at least.
Also, I'm really nervous about posting this but be cringe be free.

Notes:

This is my very first fic, ever, so please be patient with me. I'll be open to suggestions and criticism on tags, summary, on the story itself, everything really, but please be gentle I'm fragile.

Chapter 1: Creation | Chapter 0 Part I

Chapter Text

In a dark room, in the middle of nowhere, yet everywhere.

“Uhm… Okay! Hopefully I’m doing this right.. This is my first time, after all. I’m usually the one on the other side.”
Clicking sounds echo through the space, and the only illumination is multiple screens full of words.
“I’m really nervous.. Honestly there’s not much reason for us to do this. They’ve got things handled. It would only interfere if we let them keep all their memories of this. But.. even if only for a bit, I want them to understand each other. Understand him. Know what has been done for them, and just how lucky they are.”
The entity sighs.
“He’s so gonna hate me. Maybe this was a bad idea after all?”

She hesitates, finger hovering over that final choice.

Can I really do this?
What if people think differently of me?
What if it’s just… bad?

So many thoughts swirl though her head, but she’s made her decision. After all, if she hadn’t you wouldn’t be here, would you?
