Before:

Sirius: Brother, please! Just smile for the camera. Mother is being very patient with you but we would very much like to move on from this.

Hazy: Good for you but I don’t feel like smilin’ when I don’t wanna.

Sirius: We assure you that going to camp is quite fun.

Hazy: How do you know? You’ve never been to one either.

Sirius: That is true but we have read many stories of camps and they are enjoyed by ponies of all ages.

Hazy: Really? Cause I’ve seen some book that take place in camps where ponies are murdered by psychos.

Sirius: S-surely, you jest! T-there’s no way mother would send us to a camp like that… right?

Hazy: Who knows. Maybe she has a secret sadistic side she hides from us.

Sirius: N-nay, mother is… Mother!? We aren’t going to a scary camp, are we?

Twilight: Hm? Who told you that?

Sirius: Are there truly stories of camps where ponies are murdered?

Twilight: Well, yes, there are but-

Sirius: We don’t wish to go anymore! Hazy was right….

Hazy: …Wow… just wow.

After:

Sirius: …Hm? Who is there?

Hazy: Just me. I came to visit since counselor Timber said you were just moping about.

Sirius: We do not mope! We contemplate and review our past actions with sincerity and-

Hazy: Yeah, mope. Now shut up and relax. I found a book you might like.

Sirius: Have you now?

Hazy: Yea, its about stars and stuff. I don’t get it all that much but you being a nerd and all might. [starts reading]

Sirius: …Hazy?

Hazy: Hm?

Sirius: Does it hurt?

Hazy: …I thought we agreed not to talk about it.

Sirius: We know but not being able to see it is worrying us. You were bleeding so much and I-

Hazy: Vei, shut up! I don’t want to talk about it. As I said before, it’s fine.

Sirius: But-

Hazy: It’s. Fine. It doesn’t hurt and I’m not mad. It wasn’t your fault.

Sirius: That’s not what the other foals say…

Hazy: Well, they are all idiots so why listen to them. Listen to me. It wasn’t your fault.

Sirius: ….

Hazy: Now, shut up and let me read this boring shit before I fall asleep here.

*******

Finally, this is done. Woo!

This is the before and after of Sirius and Hazy’s trip to Camp Neverbound. None of the children want to talk about what happened and unfortunately, neither of the counselors were watching when the incident occurred. The incident being Hazy being hurt and found with a disoriented Sirius. Hazy was bleeding profusely though Sirius looked uninjured. It is unclear what happened but immediately upon awakening, Hazy ordered the counselors to cover Sirius’ eyes. Something about the wind whispering of danger or something.

After that, Camp went on as usual, though now the other foals were determined to stay clear of the Sparkle brothers. Sirius was weirder than usual randomly spouting on about twists and turns. He kept speaking of things he shouldn’t know about and when shaken out of whatever trance he was under, he’d cry black tears that would stain his bandages. Hazy, on the other hoof, was Sirius’ knight, rushing over and protecting his brother from the few foals brave enough to mock his temporary blindness. The scary part is when he promised that his mentor and her shade would haunt any who mocked him. When those same foals woke up screaming of smiling faces and ghoulish laughter haunting their dreams, they soon learned to leave the two alone.
