Or oh fuck what if Dave doesn't even remember him, had he fully reverted? Fuck fuck fuck fuck f u c k, what kind of moirail just lets this happen, like his other failures weren't enough—
If either Dave or Wart are even paying attention at this point, they're definitely going to notice Karkat's surroundings streaking past while the troll all but sprints to the nearest physical location that even passingly resembles where Dave had been transmitting from. Outdoors, tree, Torchic and Gallade nearby, where the fuck is he?]
