Stretchster: HTBSNE Together Until The End

Explanation and Ideas!

What Is Together Until The End?:

---

Together Until The End is a Tale Series based on the expeditions and adventures of The Explorers while they were traversing through the likes of Levels 6, 7, 8 and eventually 9. It will be based on the original stories that were written long ago, and will be connected to the upcoming Level 1000.

With Together Until The End set within HTBSNE Canon, there are a lot of opportunities for the original story to be fresh, while staying true to the original!

Part 1: The First Explorer:

---

This will focus first on Bart in The Frontrooms and his current life. Soon he falls into The Backrooms, losing everything he had. Even though he struggled, he strived to continue, and met a few new faces on the way. Specifically David.

Part 2: The Notebook:

---

Bart finds himself a Notebook he uses as a journal of sorts to document discoveries, and keep himself from going nuts. Again, more people are met on the way. Including a very injured Bruno that left a trail that Bart ended up following.

Part 1: The First Explorer

Once upon a star, I wished to escape reality. To stare into a window of the unknown. Somewhere I can escape all the hard obstacles of life. Somewhere I can spread my wings and fly into the void of secrets. But why? I ask myself this in desperation to know why when I do not exactly know myself. My life is peaceful, my life has meaning. Maybe it's just me… but without chaos, without the unknown, peace can be hell. I can feel it, whispers of forsaken knowledge calling out to me. Bart… Bart…

Bart!

Bart jumps from his seat from the sudden realization. He looks up to see his angry sister. "Have you been staring out the window the whole time?" she says in annoyance. "Uh- Uh… yeah, sorry. The passing trees are soothing in a way." Bart smirks for a moment, but the sister sighs in disappointment, keeping her eyes on the road. "Bart… I was trying to tell you that… life's getting in the way of things recently.". Bart looks at her in a confused manner, questioning what she means. The sister looks in the mirror to see him in the back seat, waiting for answers… she's silent for a moment.

"Bart I… Mom isn't getting any better. Some days she's just too sick to get out of bed.". Bart, still confused, responds "Yeeaaah…? You're still taking care of her right?". The sister looks at him worried. "Well… that's what I'm trying to say. Due to her illnesses, she won't be able to take care of us anymore, pay for the bills and food… I had taken the responsibility upon myself to do these things so she can be safe. So you can be taken care of." Bart is quiet for a moment, before looking back at his sister, worried for the future. "Are you saying…?" She hesitates to say the words, "Yes, you need to take care of her now. I will be working full-time at my job to pay for everything." The noise of air conditioning throughout the vehicle though soothing at first, quickly became cold, white noise to the siblings, uncertain where the path leads ahead.

Bart starts to fall into a dep state of thought, starts to worry about the safety of his family. "B- but what if I fail her? What if something happens to you like—" She cuts him off quickly before the thoughts even had a chance to simmer and grow. "Bart. Please, don't worry. Don't do that to me. I gave you this responsibility that was once my own because I trust you to have the capabilities to do hold such a task. Trust me, I'll never leave you. We're family, together until the end… right?"

Bart, calmed through the wise words of his older sister, still worried about what is to come, replies uncertainly. "Right… I trust you with this.".
