While Nikita has a conversation outside her home with Siv, smoking on a cement porch, they unwittingly have Mathew at their feet. Now awake enough to be able to decide his own fate, Mat gives in to his fantasies while the two chat about future tattoos...

Crawling into someone's sandal isn't a proper way to be discovered. Mathew knew that, but he didn't care - He accepted his new life, his new place beneath the feet of others. Drawn by lust and desire, or some sort of strange calling, he finds himself beneath Melanie's feet...

Once again, the intrepid blue-haired crush-fodder finds himself at the mercy of Willow. This time, however, he voulenteers his service to continue experimenting on how long a dimiminished person can withstand the crushing blows of a hyperactive Mechromancer. How many days before he fully perishes, succombing to her steps, drowning in her sweat?

Pinned beneath the rubbery sole of a converse-style sneaker, Mathew does his best to help Nikita relax as she enjoys her cigarette. His purpose in her life is now set, something she can use to relax, make her own life better by enjoying his suffering. Peaceful for her, pleasureful and painful for him...

Awakening inside Nikita's shoe, Mathew decides to take a deep breath and simply relax. She's running late though - tossing her shoes on, Nikita feels the lump of a person beneath her. Perhaps she may have taken him out to show her friends at the band if she knew it was him. But a random human in her shoe? It's going to be that poor creature's last night alive...

Trying to survive in an altered horrorscape of a new world isn't easy for anyone. Without warning or reason, the marine base Alicia was stationed at was pulled into an different reality - shrouded in darkness and filled with anomalies that would kill anyone on sight if found. While preparing for her convoy trip north to one of the nation's largest cities to gather supplies, Alicia unwittingly takes along a tiny blue-haired stow-away.

Unable to move again, Mathew finds himself at the mercy of Nikita - This time though, she's found him first. On the floor, staring up into her piercing red eyes, Mathew listens to her speak - Addressing him directly as she talks to him about his returning nature.

Do you remember every ant you've ever stepped on? Every bug that's ever crossed your path? Do you remember every little thing that's delighted you throughout your life? To Alex, people like Mathew are doomed to be forgotten - A passing delight, relaxation, and moving on with her life. Reveling in their despair, enjoying every second of their pitiful end, then moving onto the next.

In an alternate future, with most of the Kanto region firmly under the control of Team Rocket's syndicate - Mathew finds himself awakening in the Cerulean Gym. It's leader Misty, older and stronger with her years working for Giovanni, discovers a bug type lurking near her pool. The pathetic thing must be dealt with, as the leader of Team Rocket is on his way to visit with her...

When people see something twitching and moving on the ground, their first instinct is rarely 'Thats a tiny person'. Unless one makes themselves distinct from an insect, in the busy life of someone else, they may very well wind up experiencing the fate of a bug - Crushed on someone's paw pad.
