"What? Dude, no. I just got out of that situation-"

"Stiles? Oh thank god you're okay." Sheriff lets out a huge sigh of relief, instantly walking over and bringing his son into a hug.

Stiles doesn't reply, he just silently hugs his dad back, his eyes widen and glossy and his expression blank as he stares at the wall in front of him, instantly making the Sheriff worry.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Sheriff asks, pulling away from the hug to look at Stiles.

"She's dead." Stiles mumbles, tears falling down his face for the first time.

"Who?" The adult asks gently.

"Arlo." Stiles replies, his voice shaking more and more as more tears spill from his eyes.

"What?" Sheriff asks in surprise, his eyebrows furrowing a little in confusion as his answer.

"It was all my fault. Dad, I'm so sorry." Stiles sobs, instantly making Sheriff pull Stiles back into another hug.

"It wasn't your fault, I promise. I swear to you, it wasn't your fault." Sheriff immediately tells him, shaking his head a little as tears fill his eyes.

He loved Charlotte like she was his own daughter.

"I just want her back, dad." Stiles tells him, a sort of pleasing tone laced in his voice.

"I know. Me too." Sheriff nods sadly, blinking the tears out of his own eyes.

Melissa walks over to her son, sitting on the seat next to him with a solemn expression on her face, knowing exactly why he's so upset.

As soon as she had heard what happened to Charlotte, Melissa's heart immediately broke into two, but she tried not to show it so she could comfort her son.

But, at the time, Scott had already walked away, his pained expression still on his face as he went into the kitchen room, sitting on the table.

The alpha turns to his mom with tears filling his eyes, Melissa sends him a small, sad smile, reaching out and wrapping her arms around her son.

Scott leans his head on Melissa's shoulder, tightly gripping her arm as tears start to stream down his face for the first time since Charlotte had died, instantly making Melissa grip him tighter.

Melissa and Scott simultaneously look towards Charlotte's bracelet that Ethan had given to Scott, knowing that if he told Lydia what he realised, it would have broken her even more.

Scott's eyes squeeze shut as more tears fill his eyes, also making Melissa lean her head down to his shoulder, rubbing his arm up and down comfortingly.

Allison and Isaac sit together in the Argent living room, neither of them talking or moving once.

A few tears fall from Allison's eyes as she thinks about her best friend, and how Charlotte had saved her on multiple occasions, especially how she literally saved her life with the Oni.

But she can't help but feel angry at herself too, angry that Charlotte had saved Allison from dying, but she couldn't save Charlotte in time.

Isaac leans back in his seat, thinking about how Charlotte had been so demanding and promising that no one was going to die during this.

And he actually believed her, he believed that everyone and everything was going to be okay after Void and the Oni disappear.

But, now that Charlotte is gone, he doesn't think that anymore.
