Their story can't end. It will never end.

I will take us back.

Back, just before his death.

I will purpose an alternative.

. . .

His friend knelt beside his friend and held him close.

"Are you ok? Your nose is bleeding."

I won't accept this.

"Jeez, I shouldn't have punched you. Listen, we should get back inside. You're...obviously not doing well."

Reach for it-

"No, calm down. I'm not sure what I did but we can talk."

Yura knocks the Life Ender out of Zote's grasp. An agitated grunt could be heard.

Don't ruin this for him.

Get up! Hit him!

. . .

So weak.

Ugh.

Fine. You win this one. I'll come back, when you're weak. He will kill you.

"Mhm..."

"Zote?"

"Yura?"

"Oh god you're talking, are you ok?"

"No...I...it burns.

Yura felt his forehead, he's likely running a fever.

"Jesus, I seriously didn't mean to hit you."

"It's fine, I just...I tried to..."

"We can talk when you feel better, but...can you walk?"

"I hardly feel like I can move."

"Shit...well I can't just leave you here."

Yura wraps his arms around him and starts carrying him.

Zote visibly panics for a moment.

"Woah...ok you scared me."

"What- how?"

"Nevermind..."

Zote blinks, and the scene around them turns normal again.

"You can stay in my room, I'll just sleep on the floor or something."

"Surely that's not good for you either..."

"Yeah, well I think you need some good rest. Besides, I'm not the one that's hurting so bad."

Zote sighs, with nothing to combat him with. Yura starts walking up the porch stairs back toward the house.

When they returned, everything was as it had been before. It was still quiet, save for the snores of some skeleton on the couch.

"I'm...I'm sorry." Zote mumbles.

"Hey, dude, you're fine. After you get some sleep we can talk about it." Yura assured him, as he walked upstairs.

Yura reachs the top and sees Damion, standing near the top.

"What's going on here?"

"He's not feeling well, I'm letting him stay in my room."

"At 4 am? What the hell happened?"

"It's between us, not you." Yura walks past Damion.

Damion didn't say anything, he simply watched as Yura carried him into his room.

He laid Zote on his bed and sighs.

"Jeez, whatever it was it really shook you up. Do you need any medicine?"

"No...not yet I don't think...I don't know."

"I'm sorry, I think I need a smoke break, I'll be outside for a moment."

"Ok..."

Yura leaves the room, leaving Zote with his thoughts.

To be entirely honest, he's scared of going to sleep again. What if that thing comes back? What if it...does that to him again.

It said it wouldn't come back until later, maybe he'd be to get some rest.

He shut his eyes but he was so frustrated. He felt like shit.

He stays awake for what feels like an hour. He wants to sleep.

He hears someone walk upstairs again, towards his room.

The voice of someone, but not Yura. A low whisper.

"...does he remember him?"
