Why is 6 afraid of 7?
It’s a fairly common question, mostly because when people see 6 and 7 next to each other, it doesn’t really make sense. 6 is large, muscled, and trained in multiple martial arts, while 7 is fairly average physically and short.
However, 6’s fear of 7 has its roots in childhood. See, 6 and 7 grew up together, and for a few years, they were best friends. But then 6 kissed 3, and they became childhood sweethearts. But 7 secretly had feelings for 3, so 7 decided he needed to destroy 6 to win 3’s affection.
He started subtly, undermining 6 whenever possible with passive-aggressive comments and compli-sults. But over time, things got much more insidious. 7 started messing with 6’s performance in school, bringing down his grades and turning teachers against him. Even worse, 7 became great friends with 6’s parents and slowly turned them against their own offspring.
At night, 7 would sneak into 6’s bedroom and whisper depressing and hopeless things into his ears. And every time 3 was around, 7 would pants 6 and make fun of his genitalia, or try to body shame him in other ways.
However, 3 was both smart and compassionate, and saw through 7’s schemes, and stuck with 6, trying to counter 7’s psychological tear-down with compliments and friendship. Finally, 7 decided that he would never be able to win 3, so he drugged both 6 and 3, and took them to an abandoned cobbler’s hut on the edge of town.
There, he proceeded to torture and maim 3, forcing 6 to watch in horror, unable to do anything to save his sweetheart. 7 didn’t kill 3, but instead, put her in a semi-vegetative state. 7 cleaned the scene of his presence, then called the cops, and 6 was blamed for 3’s condition.
6 was sent to prison, and because they believed 6 was guilty, 6’s parents fell into a deep depression, eventually committing suicide over what they believed 6 had done.
After serving 17 years of a 30-year sentence, and getting out on good behavior, 6, now muscled and skilled as a fighter, thought he might get revenge on 7. But when he finally tracked 7 down, he found out that 7 had installed a micro-bomb into 3’s body, and should he be killed, the bomb would automatically go off and kill 3 as well.
And though she was still in a mostly fugue state, 6 couldn’t bring himself to hurt her any further, and decided to try and move on with his life. However, being an ex-con, it was hard to get a job. 6 finally found employment at a diner, which 7 then bought, and proceeded to again undermine and toy with 6 at every turn. 6 tried to find employment elsewhere, but 7 contacted any potential employer and soured them against 6.
6 finally realized that no matter what he did, 7 was going to try and ruin his life, and he resigned himself to living as a broken, lonely man, never able to stand up to the depraved, amoral 7. Some may ask, “What about 9?” 9 is 3’s older brother and twice her age. Unable to have 3, 7 set his eyes on 9, who bore resemblances to 3, and developed affection for 9. After spending some time together, 9 realized that 7 still had feelings for 3 - his vegetative biological little sister, and knew that as long as she was still alive, he would never receive 7’s true love.
Thus, 9 unplugged 3’s life-support system and bade her the last farewell, thinking he had given her salvation. 9 began dressing up more like 3, talking with 3’s voice and assimilating 3’s personality, her every like, dislike, and habit into his own. Soon, 9 became 3, and he replaced 3 in 7’s heart. But the more time they spent together, the clearer 7’s memories about 3 resurfaced, especially his tortures on her just for the sake of revenge.
Unable to bear the guilt, 7 lived his days with abandonment, until one day he encountered 6, who had been living like a hobo in one of the poor districts. 7 gave 6 a gun, and beckoned 6 to claim his cold-served revenge. 6 neither hesitated nor asked 7 for the reason. He simply put a hole between 7’s eyebrows, his face void of emotion. Mumbling “finally, finally, finally,” 6 pointed the gun at his own head and squeezed the trigger. Darkness claimed him, and he found himself in eternal peace.
