Henry had been stuck in many loops with Bendy and all the others, but when time came around for him to do errands for Alice once again, he just disappeared. Bendy thought it strange at first, maybe he was just taking a break? However, the animator was gone for a few days at least, and Bendy started becoming quite worried. How was he supposed to chase Henry around and terrorize him when he wasn't even here?
Bendy searched everywhere around level nine and up, ignoring Alice's angry screams as he raided her den to search for Henry, then abruptly left after making an acceptable mess of her lair. What if...no, Henry couldn't die, Bendy was worrying for nothing. Why was he worrying anyways? The man left everyone here to rot, didn't he? There was always that nagging voice in the back of Bendy's head that told him Joey lied about it.
Of course, now that he wasn't chasing Henry around and had time to overthink about everything, it was quite obvious Mr. Drew had lied. It was often what he did in almost all situations. Bendy sighed, now wishing he could make it up to Henry. The more he thought about the human, the more he wanted to smuggle him in hugs. However, that wasn't exactly an option at the moment considering Henry's sudden disappearance.
Bendy then had another horrible thought. What if Sammy actually did kill Henry? No, that couldn't be right either, he had chased Henry right after Sammy captured him just like every other loop. Well, whatever had happened to Henry, it couldn't have been good if he wasn't even bothering Alice with his usual sly comments that pissed the angel off.
Bendy decided to ask Sammy if he'd seen the human when he realized he hadn't seen Sammy for a while either, not even when he searched almost everywhere for Henry. Where was everyone going off to? Bendy double checked the music department and saw he wasn't there. Bendy even searched down by the ink lake and the archives. Where was Henry?
Though Bendy had been avoiding level fourteen because the projectionist hated his guts for reasons unknown to him, he thought he might at least go check, just quickly so he didn't get into a fight with Norman. Bendy summoned an ink portal, going down to the one place he avoided at all times. He quietly snook up to the edge of the wooden walls where a maze of projected cartoons and dead butcher gang members were.
Bendy's horns perked up when he heard a familiar voice, no, two or three voices that were familiar. One was certainly Henry, the other Sammy, and Bendy wasn't entirely sure about the last one but assumed it was Norman. Cautiously, the demon made his way into the maze of inky tunnels, following the echoing of talking and a few laughs.
He rounded a corner to see Henry, Sammy, and Norman all leaning against walls or sitting on wooden crates, just talking. Everyone shot their heads over to look at Bendy as he walked into their view. Norman immediately pulled Sammy behind him, and Bendy suddenly realized why Norman hated him so much. Before anyone could say or do anything else, Bendy dashed over to Henry and wrapped him up in a tight hug. Henry gave a confused pat to the demon's head.
"Uh...what's going on?" Henry asked, tensing up in the demon's arms once realizing he wasn't going to let go. This made Bendy realize just how fragile their relationship was. It used to be a normal thing for one of them to run up to the other and give them a hug, but now it was weird. Bendy only hugged tighter despite this.
"I'm sorry." He said, nuzzling into Henry's neck and dropping to his knees so the human's feet could touch the floor. Henry hugged him back even though he was still slightly confused. "Well, to be fair it's been an odd amount of years, hasn't it?" Henry said, petting Bendy's horns and smiling to himself. It was a bit awkward, but it was good to feel a hug from the demon again. "Are you uh...gunna let me go yet?" He asked after a few minutes.
"No! I was worried out of my mind when ya didn't show up to do Alice's errands like you do every single loop!" Bendy cried, holding Henry tighter by wrapping his tails round his back. Henry let out a small airy laugh. He didn't mind the extra long hug, maybe it could make up for so many years of being separated?
"Uh...not meaning to interrupt, but what do you mean by loop?" Sammy asked. Henry looked at him for a moment before simply smiling and shaking his head. He didn't have enough care to explain to the other two at that moment, he just wanted to hold onto Bendy and never let go.
