As the medicine was injected onto Principal Love's veins, his eyes squinted from the pain of the needle before his eyes open up halfway. Even though he has just received the medicine, his heart pupils are back. Everyone around him including me smiles bright at the sight of him waking up. No more insanity. No more murder. No more sour talk.

He looks left to see Judge Heart smiling at him. He then begins to look at Sweetheart, who was smiling at him, before looking at me now on my knees smiling at him.

"Hey Principal Love. How're you feeling?"

He continues to stare at me before sitting up. That's where he discovered that he's covered in blood. All of us grew concerned, knowing that he's about to learn what he did. Principal Love grew terrified before looking at his bloody hands. He begins to pant rapidly before screaming on top of his lungs while all of us excluding him covered our mouths.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!"

He burst to tears before I crawl up to him to comfort him. However, he pushed me away.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!!! I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE COVERED IN BLOOD!"

All of us heard the door to the butcher room open as we all looked. The three officers came back with Gina in handcuffs. The officer that opened the door appeared in pure horror. No amount of training can prepare him for what he just witnessed. Principal Love stood up before walking towards the butcher room.

Judge Heart yells, "No! Principal Love! Don't go over there!"

Sadly, it wasn't enough to stop him from walking over to the butcher room. As he made it, he looked at the officer before looking inside the room. The second he looked, he gasped with his hands covering his mouth. Inside, the total of fifteen dead bodies were inside. Five of the dead had their faces skinned off. He was shaking uncontrollably while panting rapidly. Sweetheart quickly got up and rush to comfort him. As she got close to him, he hugs her bursting to tears when she hugs him back. 

Gina gives him a death stare while I begin walking up to her. When I got close to her, I punched her in the face as hard as I can. Surprisingly, she's still standing after the impact. In Heart Stone, you are permitted to attack someone for committing a heinous crime. For example, if someone's about to be executed, one or more people are allowed to attack them as long as they don't kill them. Same can be said for someone that's in handcuffs.

After a while of silence except for Principal Love's crying, I finally spoke, "You lied to me this whole time did you?"

She didn't respond before Judge Heart starts yelling, "TELL HER THE TRUTH RIGHT NOW!!!"

She didn't say a word before she begins to laugh as everyone else excluding Principal Love grew mortified to her response. She then begins laughing her head off.

"You really think that I'm gonna allow him to get away with those crimes?! No way josé!"

He stops crying before looking at Sweetheart, "Can I?"

She responds, "Of course. Do what's right for you."

He turns around and walk towards Gina before slapping her in the face, leaving her with a hand mark on her cheek.

He finally speaks, "I can't believe you did this to me. You made me kill probably twenty people because of your petty lies. If I didn't love you so much, I would've expelled you from this school right now."

He looks at the officers, "Officer."

They nod before he continues, "Tomorrow, take her to the jail program and see how she likes being framed for murder. Because of that, keep her in a jail cell for rest of the day today."

One of the officers respond, "Will do. We'll get some people to pick up the bodies and clean up the blood. We just told the dead students' parents."

The officers walk their way out of the school with Gina, "Have a nice day."

We all watch them leave the school before Principal Love lets out a sigh. 

"I should clean up before everyone else sees me like this."

Sweetheart responds smiling, "Don't worry. I can help with that."

She takes out her staff to draw a heart with an x on top of it since she's just clearing the blood that's all over him. After drawing the heart and the x, it glows before it shines on him and explodes. After the whole thing, the blood on him is no longer there. His face was covered the whole time it happened. He uncovers his face before noticing that there's no more blood on him.
