Inanna followed Five into the television store, unbuttoning her blood stained cardigan one handed as she held the conch shell in her other hand, running over the Handler's words in her mind. After delivering AJ to the Handler she told Inanna and Five that they only had 90 minutes to find Five's siblings and get back to 2019 with the briefcase — a time limit hadn't been apart of the deal — but if they left as soon as possible, then doomsday and the apocalypse would never happen.
Inanna hurried up the stairs behind Five, noticing three words written on the floor in either red paint or blood. Inanna hoped it wasn't the latter, she had seen enough bodies for one day, but the words 'ÖGA FÖR ÖGA' left Inanna and Five thinking their morning was only going to get worse.
At the top of the stairs facing towards the front of the television store, sat in one of Elliott's chairs was a body covered over with a black sheet. Five pulled the cover back and Inanna felt her heart drop to the pit of her stomach.
Elliott laid dead in the chair, barely recognisable after the torture he had endured the night before while the others met with Reginald Hargreeves.
Inanna stumbled back, her free hand catching herself on the stairs banister as Five threw the cover back over Elliott's face.
Five turned to Inanna, placing the briefcase carefully onto the floor next to him, guilt already setting in his bones.
"Inan-" Inanna shook her head, unable to rip her eyes away from Elliott.
"Oscar died" Inanna muttered, her hand tightening around the metal banister as Five stepped towards her and her body phased — Inanna didn't react to the phasing, barely even feeling the pain as her tears mixed with the dried blood that caked her cheeks.
"We don't know that" Five knew that was a lie, it was clear to him and to Inanna that one of the Swedes had died.
Five stepped in between Inanna and Elliott, acting as a second barrier for Inanna, but Elliott's bloodied and tormented face was already burned into Inanna's memories.
"An eye for an eye" Inanna translated the words, leaning her body to the left as she looked passed Five to Elliott. "I killed him and they kill-".
"It's not your fault" Five gently grasped Inanna's face with his hands, noticing how she looked through him like he was nothing more than a ghost, the shock and upset in her eyes, twisting as she forgot about the task at hand. "Listen to me, Inanna" Five whispered. "This isn't your fault, okay? It is-".
"Do you want to tell Elliott that?" Inanna muttered.
"No" Five shook his head. "You know better than I do that he would tell you the same thing. Elliott was your friend, he cared for you and he wouldn't let you throw away a one in a million opportunity... this is our chance, Inanna, we have to take it".
