I'm running from my madness, but it's a losing game

by VictoriaLight

Summary:

Earth was again left alone with hallucinations that didn't leave him alone even for a minute...

Notes:

The new episode left me with a lot of emotions that I find difficult to contain...
This is especially true for our beloved Earth, who is suffering again...

This shot was also partly inspired by the story "Why Won't Anyone Tell Me" by NightRiverWrites

Being on his orbit, Earth felt worse than ever.

This feeling was worse when his friends left him a long time ago, even during this whole mess with the Moon Revolution.

No, it was much worse.

All what he just wanted to find out the truth about his past, about Theia, which drove him crazy, literally strangled him.

However, he screwed up again.

Mars, Venus and Mercury threw away their Solarcards in irritation.

And Luna, his younger brother, literally flared up, shouting that this was his chance to finally play cards with the planets, and he, his planet, ruined everything again...

The Earth felt his core being torn apart, seeing also the pain in the eyes of his younger brother...

He didn't know that Luna also wanted to play cards...he didn't knew it was important to him...

Why didn't Luna tell him earlier?!

And then Mercury's words after he fell into another stream of hallucination...

"You should go back to your orbit, Earth.  Let’s not pull this ‘heading towards the Sun’ stunt again, shall we?”

The Sun’ stunt...

This is what his suicide attempt looks like to others...

Nothing more than a joke or just an attempt to attract attention?...

The most painful thing of all this was from the same Mercury, which helped him cope with all this mess in his head, when his attempt to fly into the Sun was unsuccessful..

And now he's alone once more.

Alone with hallucinations that began to dance before his eyes again in bright flashes of light.

"Seriously Proto, playing asteroid dodgeball is dangerous!"

"Come on Theia, don't be so gloomy!"

"I'll be like this until you stop doing this nonsense...or maybe should I call Aphrodite?"

"Okay, okay, I'll finish this game, just please don't call him, Theia!"

"THEIA, THEIA, THEIA"

"THEIA WHERE ARE YOU?"

"Will we always be together?"

"Of course, Proto, I won’t go anywhere until, of course, the Sun wants wants to send me away."

"Hah, let him try it! I will throw at him the largest astroid that I find in the Asroid Belt!"

"Oh Proto..."

"PROTO, PROTO, PROTO"

Male and gentle female laughter, like a bell, gradually turned into a too loud cacophony...

Earth felt that his head was about to crack from the voices, so he ran...

He didn't know where.

Just somewhere.

Where voices leave him alone even for a moment.

Please, just for a moment!

But it was no use.

Voices have been and will probably continue to torment him.

Mars, Venus, Mercury and Luna probably won't even pay attention to him and his problem...

It's not important to them...

Was he important to anyone?

Probably not...

Already feeling his legs giving way, the Earth collapsed and tiredly curled up, closing his eyes.

Whether it was his orbit or another place, he didn't care.

He's tired...

He no longer had the strength to fight the madness..

It was a losing game...

So he just allowed himself to be completely immersed in it.

Notes:

I think in this episode almost everyone was disappointed by the behavior of Mars, Luna and Mercury...
