Scratch had just abstracted, you knew him the best outside of the circus hence why you wanted to explore this endeavor with him, after all he was trying to make a brain scanner so who knows maybe he got it working, shitty thing is that you can't leave but hey at least you'll be together forever right? Nope! Something strange happened after the two of you had an argument scratch appeared happy the day afterwards but later he turned into this creature... However it was only calm around you darkness didn't seem to affected at all so Cain allowed him to stay as long as he remained in his room with only you being able to visit him, stuff happened almost everyone else abstracted the same abstractions happened in the show and now we've got the modern cast. Enjoy this because I worked really hard on it. Also I don't know who the artist of this image is I kind of just grabbed it randomly off of Google because I thought it was cool
