His timeline had started off much like other Palettes, his parents were Ink and Dream. his best friend was adorable Goth, and then his timeline became one of the rarer ones... Goth was murdered and unlike others his soul was not scattered across the multiverse and AU's but actually...

Gone...

It destroyed his life, watching his best friends body turn to dust his soul fractured beyond recovery.

He hadn't realized he had been in love with Goth till that moment, that so much of himself was tied to Goth.

Reaper and Geno fell into depression, and seemed to drift away and the only thing keeping them together is that there mate was still there. His own parents tried comfort him, but the one that held his love was gone.

Then his set of timelines were destroyed, and he somehow survived.

But... he was alone. Broken, with nothing to live for.

He hadn't expected to come across a dying Nightmare, his uncle somehow surviving. He didn't expect to be attacked, or somehow ripping Nightmare's powers away as the corrupted being dusted.

He didn't expect it to take him over.

He giggles as he stole another Goth's soul, if he couldn't have his Goth no one could have a Goth.. and sooner or later with all the AU Goths he'd get his Goth back.

Nightmare!Palette hadn't been sane for a very lone time.
