Chapter Text
K and Barrel spent the rest of the night together, their friendship growing closer and closer as they shared stories of their past.
K was never the same after those 2 and a half hours he spent in that forest still plagues his waking and slumbering hours, because of Lord Hansel's power that was amplified by being inside of his domain he manipulated K into thinking he was much stronger then he really is. Now he is terrified of him and often sees him out of the corner of his eyes or replays the memories of him running through his domain. His PTSD grew ever worse and now he feels like Hansel is behind every door, in every drawer, around every corner.
Grace gave K a month off to recover from the events, time he spent sleeping or disappearing for days at a time before reappearing, Claiming he went for a "long walk" that no security camera ever saw. After that month was over he went back to work with several differences, he hated being alone and would walk with someone he was comfortable with for as long as possible before immediately going to find someone else.
Everyone he disliked before now couldn't even stand them, often leaving the room quickly if they enter.
He also been carrying a lot more weapon charms and potions, practiced spells in his off time and has been seen giving powerful materials to the Craftsman but for now the reason why is unknown.
The people he seems to be comfortable with are: Mister Barrel, Miss Sasha, Miss Thavel, Mister Hotchkiss, Miss Cled'or, Mister Demi, Miss Emily, Somehow Alice and the Craftsman.
The people he seems to not be able to stand are: Mister Foxtrot, Miss Vorgos, Mister Sharply, Mister T.R.O.N, Scizz, Eclipse, Hound and Mister Strontium but not for disliking him he just cant handle the perfume he uses, if had been a while since he applied it he is quite fine standing next to him.
