ill put it in the comments

(In this au, Pin’s removal of limbs and face are just illusions for the viewers)
Coiny couldn’t even scream before he hit a branch of the tree below him. What even was that? Pin had just… discarded him, their friendship. He wasn’t one to hold grudges, but damn. Picking himself off the ground, he dusted the leaves and dirt off of his face. Thankfully, he hadn’t sustained any injuries. Looking up at the sky, he noticed crimson ink spreading across the sky like a disease, equipped with Pin’s full emblem. He took steps towards home, failing to ground himself, and feeling as numb as ever.
As his hand gripped the door handle of the contestant's sleeping quarters, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
“Coiny! I won!!!!” Pin ran up to him, grabbing his hands and shaking him, not noticing the dry, empty eyes in front of her.
Coiny smiled nervously, looking away and laughing softly. “Pin… what… what was that?” He almost teared up. “That hurt…”
Pin scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Look, Coiny. If you’re uncomfortable with me winning, that's not a problem for me.” She locked eyes with him, her unmoving blood-red irises digging into the skull, sending a searing psychological pain in his head.
He put his hand behind his neck anxiously. “No, it’s not that. It’s just that… I thought we were, you know… friends.” He looked back at her desperately.
“Oh. Well, you know what Tennis Ball said.” She responded coldly, retracting her hands sharply. “No more dynamic duo.”
This caused Coiny to anxiously look up at him. “No, no, wait! But we’re still friends, right? Look, I know that in the past you’ve been betrayed and, and, it’s been a nightmare for you in previous BFDIA, but I’ve, I’ve been there! Please, Pin, I’ve done all this… this… for you! I thought we were best friends? Is this all I… our bond… is this all it means to you?” He rushed his words, blubbering as tears streamed down his face.
Pin looked down at him, near disgusted. “Coiny, if this is how you’re going to act, I don’t want to be friends.”
Coiny stared up at Pin blankly, attempting to speak, but failing. He reached out for her hand, which she denied. “Pin… I… I don’t want to make this about me, but I’ve just been… so tired and, and I know it’s been hard on you, with your restriction of limbs and face, but can you please try to work with me here?” He begged, lowering himself to please her further. She scoffed, immediately getting her opinion in.

“No, I’m not going to, Coiny. I’m going on my own adventure here, and I don’t want your help.” She said this as soon as possible, almost cutting the poor boy off. “And look, if you want to help me, then please do. I just won’t… reciprocate. In fact, we are no longer friends.” She replied softly. He gaped numbly at her speech, in disbelief.
“Pin! No, please don’t leave me! I’ll… I’ll do anything! I’ll… I’ll quit!” He reached out to her, to her dismay.
“You’ll quit? Good. It’ll give me more space in the competition, and more chances to win.” She smirked to herself, caught up in her own win. Coiny scoffed in disbelief, not expecting such a cold answer.
“No, um… Pin. If you… really think that we shouldn’t collaborate… we don’t have to. I’ll stop talking to you. I’m… sorry for overestimating our relationship.” He sighed sadly, staggering through the open door, into the contestant’s sleeping quarters.

(all of it is meant in a platonic way btw)
