You are now Dave Strider, and after a few more painstakingly slow days, you are finally free from the hospital. It's a literal miracle.
You're back at your apartment with Dirk – Bro is nowhere to be seen, but you still keep an eye out. Sitting at your computer, you pester Roxy and try to get some info on Karkat. It's the same thing over and over, though.
Pesterlog
TG: seriously dave hes gunna be fine
TG: I hope you know all youre doing is making me worry more
TG: like really
TG: i need more than a "fine"
TG: okay hes doing great
TG: don't be a smartass
TG: I swear john is rubbing off on you
TG: or is it Rose
TG: I don't know everyone's a fucking smartass nowadays
TG: if you really want to know youre just going to have to pester him yourself
TG: wait hes awake?
TG: I thought he was out cold or something
TG: why would you think that?
TG: I dunno?
TG: maybe because being on his death bed is exhausting?
TG: just go talk to him dave
TG:…
TG: I don't want to
TG: what?
TG: why not?
TG: you know he's not going to bite your head off for nearly dying
TG: I mean he might
TG: he has been saying how he plans to kick your ass for nearly dying before him
TG: wow thanks for the encouragement
TG: you're welcome
TG: but really why don't you want to talk to him
TG: I don't really know
TG: Im… nervous?
TG: its just… well…
TG: youre worried about what he has to say
TG: arent you?
TG: I guess
TG: yeah
TG: I really don't want to read what I know he's going to say
TG: dave you need to relax I can almost feel the stress and worry coming through my phone
TG: the way I see is that you don't have to talk to him
TG: but you probably should because you might regret it
TG: I know I know
TG: it just doesn't feel right… in a way
TG: probably because you'll pestering him instead of meeting face to face
TG: I feel like you're trying to tell to do something
TG: come on dave
TG: I know you want to ;)
TG: I don't know I just got out of the hospital
TG: seriously boi, get your butt over here
TG: your babe needs ya
TG: like I will come over there and get you myself if I have to
TG: fine fine

TG: pretty good I think
TG: just hanging out on another planet far far away with other cherubs
TG:…
TG: I kind of wish I could go meet her
TG: maybe I might one day but until then its just us chatting on pesterchum.
TG: tell her I said hi
TG: and knowing you roxy
TG: you will probably find a way
TG: like you managed to make contact with her in the first place so
TG: I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up meeting her in person
TG: I hope so
TG: oh shoot
TG: what?
TG: I totally forgot I was making cupcakes
TG: wow way to go mom

TG: later

Well, looks like you're going to be visiting Karkat real soon. You're… god, you don't think you'll be able to handle it. But, you can't runaway from this, you're pretty sure you wouldn't be able to live with yourself if you did.
getting closer to the end... sorry its short but i had no idea what else to put in this chapter.
