I've been stuck on this part for AGES! And this boon and myself ain't getting any younger! So, for the sake of moving on to the next arc, here's an outline of what all was supposed to go down in this chapter.
. . . . . . .
Dr. Myer collected evidence and, before his audience of 303, Maple, Sam, and I, stated his case of me being THE HEROBRINE everyone was so afraid of. He did this for the sake of everyone I was fooling.
In a whirl of emotion, shouting, and the like we ALL revealed our secrets to one another, cracking at the seams until we could stand each other no longer.
303, who by far the most enraged, threatened to kill me or die trying if I didn't leave NOW. And I, well... I was at a loss. With their trust in me gone, there was no point in trying to keep these bonds.
The worst part was watching the horror in Maple's eyes as she clung to 303's leg, realization sinking in slowly that I was the man who destroyed her home town and killed her family. I knew then that there was NO going back.
So, I left.
Sam followed me again into the wilderness, but this time when we were alone, I yelled and screamed at him, even threatening to kill the mutt if he didn't leave me alone! The dog cowered away, leaving me truly, and utterly...alone.
