The gentle strum of a ukulele rings across the tranquil environment of Grian's futuristic base. Season 6 is ending and everyone is relaxing, ready to start fresh and awaiting for the next season to begin.

Grian's knuckles stum against the four strings as his other hand creates the notes by pressing down on certain areas of the strings. Mumbo sits next to him closely, watching as Grian's lips cascades into a peaceful smile.

Xisuma allowed Grian to enable his Watcher powers since Grian promised to make the perfect use for it. He knows it will ensure everyone to rethinking their choices and love those who are around themselves.

"What's it like to be alone on a Sunday,
Remembering the time you saw them just yesterday?
Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts
I could listen to you all night long."

Grian looks up with sparkling blue eyes as Mumbo smiles gently. Mumbo can feel the effect of the Watcher magic raining down on the server and he knew this was the right thing. It's just something that Grian wanted to try.

"And I. Don't. Care... About my sleeping routine."

Grian looks back down at the little instrument in his hands.

"I fucked it up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
As the night rocks me to sleep."

Mumbo shuffles silently closer to Grian and encase Grian into a precious hug, being aware of the way he wraps his arms around Grian so he doesn't interrupt his playing.

Across the server, Doc looks up from his build. He wipes the sweat from his forehead while looking at the finishing parts of Area 77 he never completed. Ren calls for Doc, alerting Doc that he is nearby outside.

Ren comes running to Doc, engulfing Doc into a massive hug while they begin to laugh together in surprise.

"Remember when we felt like animations
And didn't need A grades for self-validations?
Tell me about... the things that you love~
The world simply needs more affection 'cause-"

Scar sighs with content, relaxing inside of his volcano base since he packed his belongings. A soft cry of a feline cat echoes out. Scar raises his posture and gives a pure, toothy smile as Jellie runs into his arms.

"I. Don't. Care. About what people think of me.
I'm fucked up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
And so many things to see."

Just as Scar relishes the comfort of Jellie, he notices Cub standing by the cave entrance. Scar calls for Cub and sprints to him with Jellie in his hold. Cub laughs merrily as he wraps his arms around Scar, lifting him and Jellie into the air to twirl them around with wholesome expressions of joy.

"Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So, hug all your friends and let them know
You're not letting go
No, I won't let go, oh-oh."

Iskall runs his hand through his hair in stress, worried with all of the things going on with his decisions. A gloved hand gently rubs against his back, making Iskall lookup. 

Xisuma smiles lightly before Iskall hugs Xisuma tightly without any signs of letting go, letting the admin chuckle before returning the hug with a gentle sway motion to ease the anxiety.

Stress enters her room with a nervous countenance, playing around with her fingers in anxiety. She wanted to try on a dress but she felt as if the dress would make her look fat. False and Cleo squeal at her outfit, launching up from their seats to tackle Stress into a hug.

The three girls fall to the ground while laughing, some tears starting to draw under their eyes since they haven't spent time with one another for ages.

"Did you and your friends have fun on the weekend?"

Bdubs places a pink flower crown on Zedaph's head and a red one on Tango's before encasing them both into a massive hug, grinning as he brings the gloomy friends closer together.

"Nothing feels better than sleeping in and sleeping in."

Python and Joe take a glance around at the IDEA building and stop in their tracks. Joe abruptly wraps his arms around Python's torso and buries his nose into the crook of Python's neck with his lips curving upwards in delight.

"Watch as my head falls away from the room
I would hug all my friends if they weren't friends with you."

Vintage suddenly felt a pair of arms envelope his body from behind, the tension in his muscles fading away as he recognizes TFC giggling.

"You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all."

Wels tackles Impulse to the ground before Impulse drags Keralis along with them in the grass.

Cub continues to swirl Scar around, dancing as the sun begins to settle below the horizon.

"When the night turns cold, my thoughts feel like stone."

Doc places his head on Ren's as they slowly rock under the arriving stars.

"And it's nothing I can't change."

As a return payment, Zedaph and Tango make a multi-colored flower crown specifically for Bdubs and set it on his brown hair. The trio looks off into the sunset, Bdubs in the middle as Tango and Zedaph has an arm wrapped around his shoulder, gently singing along to the melody playing across the twilight sky.

"But I can't breathe anymore."

False exclaims how beautiful Stress is with all sincerity. Cleo brings Stress outside so the whole world can see how beautiful the girl is as Stress can feel her low self-esteem wash away.

"I forgot how to walk by myself."

Iskall thanks Xisuma as the admin gives Iskall more advice for the future. They sit outside, chatting away with bright smiles, smiles that reflect the stars dancing across the obsidian sky.

"I could do with a little more of your help."

Joe releases Python with flushed cheeks in embarrassment. Python can feel tears collecting in the corner of his eyes from the affectionate act. He quickly grabs Joe to hold him like a bride, showing him how much he appreciated the hug as he spins them around just outside the IDEA building.

"Life's too short to worry about things we got wrong."

Impulse blows a raspberry at Wels but Wels gladly returns one. Keralis joins before the three begin to chuckle loudly together under the dancing fireflies.

"So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go."

Grian looks up at Mumbo as Mumbo plants a small, fonding peck on Grian's forehead.

"I'm not letting go."

Bdubs knocks both of his friends onto the grass so he can roll around with Tango and Zedaph as they laugh together. They eventually calm down to stare at the constellations and the shooting stars striking the sky.

"Life's too short to worry about things we got wrong."

False and Cleo hug Stress and raise her, chanting Stress's name to make her feel like the queen so her insecurities can finally be gone. The three have dazzling eyes as they gaze up at the amazing display that the stars portray.

"So hug all of your friends and let them know you're not letting go."

Doc and Ren stare upwards, pointing at the shooting stars together as they continue to dance lightly.

"I'm not letting go."

Cub allows Scar to go back to his feet. Jellie crawls onto Scar's hat to get a good glimpse of the nightfall as Scar intertwines his fingers with Cub's.

"So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go."

Everyone watches the sky together despite being all cross Hermitcraft. What counts is that everyone has someone by their sides to enjoy this night together.

"No, I won't let go, o-oh~"

Grian strums the final few cords. He looks up at Mumbo for approval, quickly discovering that Mumbo fell asleep by his side. Grian sets his ukulele next to Mumbo and curls close to him, smiling at the love that is finally in the air before closing his eyelids to rest for the night.

. . . A special note from the author . . .

Remember to hug every single one of your friends because they might not be promised with life tomorrow. Be happy with the gifts today because, who knows, you might not have them in the next hour. Give love to those around you. 

Ask that one lonely girl or boy to sit with you during lunch. Remember that everyone has one life to live. Make someone's life a special one by giving them some love, no matter how much, everyone deserves some love better than nothing. 

Everyone only has one chance at life. Consider those around you and appreciate those who love you since they can be gone by the next day. Everyone has one life that they should cherish because before you know it, that life will be gone forever, and when they are passing away, you should be proud of all the love that you gave them since then they would feel as if their life had value.

No one deserves to ever feel alone in the one chance of life they receive. Take this precious moment on Earth to realize your beautiful values about yourself, and try to spread affection to those who need it. When someone is gone, they are gone forever but the memories continue to live on. Make those memories good ones.

Everyone needs a hero to make sure they are away from the darkness...

And that hero can begin with you <3
