Summary
There's no such thing as an ordinary day on this two-sweep metallic purgatory, but Karkat's sure this isn't it. Not because of the thousands of dead strangers periodically invading his memories while he sleeps, and only partially because of the psychopaths wandering around this place (looking at you, Serket). In the fugue of monotony plaguing his day-to-day life, he's actually started hanging out with one Dave Strider. Sometimes, he catches himself thinking of him as his *friend*. And worse, enjoying his company.
If someone had asked Dave who he most wanted to live with on a meteor during his adolescence, he would have assumed they were just another troll leaving a pile of awful at his door. If you'd asked him half a year ago when it actually happened, he would have listed his three actual friends, Terezi and maybe that catgirl who kept trying to roleplay with him all the time. He might have laughed if you'd told him Karkat was his best bet, maybe even make fun of it for a few minutes, but he wouldn't actually believe them. In other words, there must be some kind of brain-eating disease on this forgotten weapons facility. Otherwise, he might actually be friends with the most eloquent asshole he's ever met.
