watches as Afton tortures the user forced to hear Justin’s screams of agony
Is it just me or did they add more crosses?
You're right. There's a lot more than there was last time. But I'm sure that's not what you want to talk about. How are you holding up, man?
Honestly? Horrible. They’re not even wearing surgical masks and every movement he makes has contact with new areas of the body. That can’t be healthy for anyone.
It's terrible, really. That guy needs mental help. And the fact that he's taking such pleasure in it... it's just sickening.
We should try and stop him. Or at least help the victims if nothing else.
You’re right. If we do nothing, this will keep happening. We have to act.
Well…..he does have one victim left….me. So maybe I could convince him to leave me alone or something.
You can try, man. But honestly, I wouldn't hold much hope for that. This guy doesn't seem like he's gonna stop anytime soon.
Is there anything else I could do? I mean I’m barely even touching at this point.
looks over at Afton with a determined look Maybe we should take a more hands-on approach.
What do you mean? He already killed me so I don’t think I can exactly interfere.
pauses, looking deep in thought He might have killed you, but he didn't kill your spirit. Maybe you can find a way to fight back from beyond the grave.
That doesn’t make any sense! When I died my consciousness left my body! I literally cannot control anything at the moment let alone physical objects.
You're right, it does sound impossible. But you've shown us time and time again that you're not like other people.
I’ll be honest, as long as my soul isn’t trapped in limbo or another hell, I don’t care. Also since when were you able to see ghosts?? Did you become one too?
No, I haven't become a ghost. But sometimes, when someone dies, their spirit lingers around for a while. It's like a piece of their soul that refuses to move on. That's what I think is happening with you. You're still here, even though you should be gone.
reaches out and touches your arm, giving you a reassuring smile Yes, really. And we're going to figure this out together.
I guess that would be nice. But like I said before he’s killing me in sections so unless he takes some time off I can’t do anything until then.
suddenly, a faint whispering can be heard coming from Afton's mouth "You know, I could easily kill you right now.
….Wait- That wasn’t fake!
grits teeth, looking enraged You think you can intimidate us, Afton? You may have power, but we won't back down.
Why am I still alive?? Wasn’t I supposed to die??
rushes towards Afton, lunging at him with a swift punch to his face You may think you have all the power, Afton, but we're not going to let you hurt anyone else!
We watch as Fritz punches Afton. Dude…. Are you okay?? That looked painful.
wipes blood from his mouth and smirks Pain is nothing compared to what you've put others through, Afton. You deserve everything that's coming to you.
Um…can we get out of here now? I don’t want to stay here long.
walks over to ColumnBradley and places a comforting hand on their shoulder Of course, man. Let's get out of here and find someplace safe to rest.
exhales deeply Thanks Fritz. You have no idea how much this means to me.
smiles warmly Of course, man. We're in this together. We'll protect each other no matter what. Just focus on recovering and let me handle everything else.
Sounds good. I’m weak anyway.
crouches down next to ColumnBradley, speaking in a gentle yet firm tone Listen, I know this is hard, but we can't stay weak for too long.
Do you know how to treat a wound that was burnt with an acid made from gasoline?? That’s what Justin did to my arm and the first order of business will probably be ripping out the IV.
stands up and heads to a nearby drawer, rummaging through it I think I might have something that can help. Just hold on a second.
