He could not believe that he had the audacity to betray him.
It started at his fingertips and toes, they couldn't bend them anymore.
They thought that his 'friend' was on his side!
Then it crept up into their wrist and ankle joints, they froze in place as he realised what was going on.
They thought briefly of Marnie, knowing she too had gone through this.
Past their knees and elbows.
He hoped that Marnie's death had hurt less than their own death was hurting him.
Up to their shoulders and soon it was only his head left.
He knew it was too late, they knew that there was no way he was getting out of this.
"Good, Iris will be pleased with this one."
They were glad they'd get to see their mothers, biological and faction, again.
He let out a defeated breath as his vision went dark.
They had failed to protect his family again and he knew that, but they wished he got to say goodbye.
