it had been a week since Techno left. you were slowly running out of food and firewood.

sat having dinner with Phil for the 3rd time that week, he looks at you.
"Thea?"
"yea?" he looks around.
"You know Will came back right?" you put your fork down, and finish your mouthful.
"really? when?"
"Like- 2 weeks ago? he came and visited me whilst you and Techno were out." you nod slowly. you wash your plate and put it away and return to your seat. Phil continues eating and looks to his front door every now and again.
"is he gonna visit? will he remember me?"
"He said he was, and i dont know. he remembers me because im his father but he met you while he was dead- so maybe?" a loud bang at the door stops Phil from talking. there he was. Wilbur Soot. in the flesh.
"Phil! Hello!" Phil smiles and gets out of his seat. he goes over to his eldest son and hugs him. you look at him.
"I recognise you from somewhere."
"That's Thea. Techno's kid. You met her- before you- got revived."
in all honesty. you thought Wilbur looked like shit. his hair was matted in places, and has a white blonde streak in it, his coat was bloodstained and torn at the edges. his yellow sweater had a hole in, surrounded with blood and he had a bandage around his upper left arm.
"Where's Tech? I knocked on his door but didnt get an answer."
"he went in the prison. and hasnt come back yet..." Wilbur looks at you and then looks at Phil. Phil nods.
"Oh God."
