Everything was ready...

All set up...

He could end it all...

He blinked weakly as he saw light around him. The first realization that hit him was that he was still alive. His neck hurt a lot...

His hand slowly tracked up to his face. Where was his mask..?

Etho shot up from the bed, frantically looking for his mask. Anything to cover his face...

"Etho..?"

The silver haired hermit turned to see the person speaking to him. "H-hey- Um, where's my mask?"

"I took it off you to make sure you didn't have any wounds under it... Well, fresh wounds at least." They said, rushing to the side table next to Etho, "Should be..."

The swede pulled a familiar mask from the drawer. Etho quickly slipped it on, letting out a sigh of relief.

"So... Why..?"

Etho glanced back up to the swede, "Oh- W-why what..?"

Iskall let out a long sigh, "Why did you try to end it...? Why did you try to hang yourself?"

"You're mad, aren't you..."

Iskall rested a hand on the other's shoulder, "I'm not mad. I was so so scared seeing you- seeing you hanging... I thought I was going to lose you."

"I'm sorry..." Etho looked down at his lap, tears visible in his eyes.

"You don't need to apologize. Something is wrong, I know that, but it isn't your fault."

"But I-"

"I just need to know what's wrong so that I can help you." Iskall gave a comforting smile, "I care about you. I need to know what's going on so that I can help. I know you are closer with others on the server like Ren, Bdubs, and Beef, but we are basing together this season so I'm the person you can easily go to."

"I- I don't know... I've just been feeling horrible- I hate everything about myself..." Etho buried his head in his hands, Iskall took a seat next to the Canadian, wrapping an arm around his shoulders.

"I'm not the best at comforting people, but I hope I'm able to help at least a little..." Iskall mumbled, before mentioning, "If you need someone to just vent to, you can talk to me. If you want someone more like a therapist, I would suggest Doc or Joe."

"A-alright... For now, I think I just need cuddles..." Etho mumbled, before adding, "And snacks. Can you get us some snacks?"

They chuckled, standing up, "Sure. I'll be back in a minute, alright?"
