Run VIII: Effect

"Wait, so you thought both me and Ari were the ones behind this?" Mitch asked as Roman nodded. "They played it so well, some smart motherfuckers," Roman said as Mitch placed a hand on his shoulder. "I guess you returned the favor," Mitch said as Roman smiled. "I guess so, I'm sorry about Ariana though," Roman said as Mitch shrugged. "I wanted to break up with her for a long time, they did me a favor," Mitch said. "Look, I'm sorry about the websites and those news articles I made about you, it wasn't fair to you, I didn't know what you went through, I still don't, and I never will," Mitch said as Roman smiled. "Apology accepted," Roman said as Mitch chuckled. "So many people died, people that I cared for, people you cared for, I don't even think I deserve to be alive right now, so many other people had more potential," Mitch said as Roman laid a hand on his shoulder. "Don't think like that, you survived because you deserved to survive, others might've too, but they were less fortunate," Roman said as Mitch nodded. "You're a kind guy you know? It's not what I expected, I'll make sure I let everyone know," Mitch said as Roman smiled. "Yeah, you're cool too, I need to meet with July, talk to you later?" Roman asked and Mitch nodded.

"Wait so you want to build a shrine?" Josh asked and July nodded. "Exactly, we can make a stage with all the killer's robes and masks and their weapons, one for each killer. Around the area can be important memorials for every victim, and I mean every victim, it might take a while to get it all set up, but I know where to find everything that I need, meaning I'd have to travel to find the different things that I need, keep an eye on it for me?" July asked as Josh nodded. "How long would it take for you to get back?" Josh asked. "I'd say around three to six months, finding these different things is going to take a long time. There's been a total of sixteen killers, it would take no time to find things for killers I knew, such as Don or Lila, but it'd take a longer time for others such as Adam or Wayne," July said, Josh nodded. "I think I'll leave tomorrow," July said as Josh nodded.

"Wait what!" Roman yelled as July rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm not even going to be gone that long, and it seems like you've got some new friends," July said as Roman shook his head slightly. "You're not going alone, I'd be so mad at myself if anything happened to you," Roman said and July smiled. "These victims deserve a memorial, Zack deserves a memorial, I'm going to make that happen. These poor innocent souls who lost their lives because of these monsters deserve to be memorialized." July said and Roman agreed. "I need you to keep an eye on this place, and make sure nothing bad happens, you also need to make amends with that reporter," July said as Roman crossed his arms. "We already did," Roman said as July shrugged. "I don't know, maybe get closer with him, also with Josh, make sure we can trust them," July said and Roman nodded. "Fine, promise me you'll stay safe," Roman said. "I promise," July said.

"I've noticed your guilt about Cory and Miles. Why didn't you try and save them? If it was Tyler or Julian, you would've," Don said as Roman looked down. "I don't know, I wanted to, I just couldn't," Roman said as Don smirked. "And why is that, maybe you wanted them dead, maybe you're more like me than we both initially thought, maybe you're a master of deception," Don said as Roman shook his head. "I'm nothing like you, you killed for," Roman began as Don cut him off. "I killed for revenge. Why did you kill Adam and Malik? For revenge, why did you kill Wayne, Lorianne, and Marlin, for revenge, we both killed for the same exact reasons, and believe it or not, your kill count is higher than mine, and you claim that you're not a killer," Don said as Roman took a step back, realizing that Don was right. "But, but," Roman said as Don chuckled. "Exactly, we are becoming more and more like each other by the day, and you're becoming something worse than I ever was," Don said as he soon faded away, leaving Roman to think about what he said.
