That night everyone is asleep.

Jeff and Nina share the double bed in Jeff's bedroom.

Nina just turned around with a sleepy groan and is now facing the side where Jeff always sleeps.

She rests her head peacefully on the green pillow.

Then she suddenly feels a cold shiver run down her spine. She shivers over her body for a moment. She opens her eyes: "Jeff I'm cold".

She looks next to her and then sees to her horror that the place next to her is empty and that Jeff is not sleeping next to her.

Nina jumps out of bed, startled, and grabs her purple cardigan from the back of the big black chair that is next to Jeff's desk.

She puts on her purple cardigan and zips up the zipper.

She then runs out of the dark bedroom and then walks into the dark hallway.

As soon as she closes the bedroom door of their bedroom behind her, she sees the brown bedroom door of Tim and Toby who are sleeping.

She smiles as she looks at their brown bedroom door. She thinks they're so cute.

Then she runs to Liu's bedroom door. Her brother-in-law. She knocks softly on the wooden door of his bedroom at first. No answer. She grabs the handle of his bedroom door and slowly pushes it down and opens the door very gently and slowly and sees that it is pitch dark in Liu's bedroom.

She sees Liu sleeping on his right side in his double bed.

Nina slowly and very softly closes the door behind her and tiptoes to the edge of Liu's double bed and walks over to his face, then bends over him: "Hey" she whispers.

Liu immediately opens his sleepy eyes and sees Nina's face in front of him. He looks at her as surprised as possible and Nina steps back for a moment and Liu sits up in his bed surprised and looks at Nina in astonishment: "Nina .... what are you doing here in my room? ... you don't know what time it is is?". "Why on earth are you waking me up?".

"Jeff's gone".

Liu frowns his thick sexy eyebrows: "Wut?...what do you mean Jeff is gone?".

"He was no longer next to me .... my feeling says that he is outside".

"Outside?...what should he be doing outside at this hour?".

"Just come" and she grabs Liu by his right wrist and pulls him out of bed unceremoniously. Liu quickly puts on jeans and a white long-sleeved shirt.
Nina and Liu walk out.
It is raining softly outside.
Nina looks at Liu:"Come...then let's go to the cemetery where your parents are buried".
Liu furrows his brown eyebrows, "Why the hell?".
Nina doesn't answer that and continues briskly. Completely focused on her goal.
Liu follows after her.
Then they see the big black gates of the cemetery where both Jeff and Liu's parents are buried.
It's a gigantic cemetery.
They walk past a few large graves until Nina sits down on someone. Crouched in the grass wearing a white hoodie. He has his hood on and he is crouching in front of two large graves.
"There you will have him".
Liu looks up questioningly and immediately recognizes his brother. They walk towards him.
Jeff just turns his head and sees Nina and Liu walking towards him.
Nina looks at Jeff's face. He has bright red eyes from crying and a short tear slides down his cheek to his jawline and that tear ends up on the floor.
Jeff sniffs.
Nina immediately stops walking when they are both now standing in front of Jeff.
"Why are you here Jeff?".
Jeff looks at her and Liu and Nina can clearly hear that his voice has become very hoarse from all the crying.
Jeff tries to hide his tears from his girlfriend and brother but Liu and Nina have already seen his tears.
Jeff swallows a big lump in his throat and Nina hears him gasp.
Jeff then looks at Nina again with red eyes from crying and tries to speak words but then he closes completely and bursts into tears.
Nina falls to her knees in the wet green grass and looks at her boyfriend sweetly and puts a soft hand on his shoulder and pushes herself into his warm arms and holds him tight: "Hey...it's okay...it's okay Jeff".
Jeff then starts to cry even louder when he has buried his face on his girlfriend's chest.
"I'M SO SORRY!!!" he sobbed.
Nina lovingly wraps her arms around his neck and presses herself against him again: "It's okay Jeff".
"I WAS NOT MYSELF...I don't know who I was and who I am now...I'm so sorry Mom and Dad" and he looks at the tombstones of his mom and dad.
Liu gets a big lump in his throat from Jeff's tears. He felt his heart break as he burst into tears.
"I know who you are Jeff...you are my boyfriend and I love you and I always will no matter what".
Jeff looks at her and Nina hears him panting:"How did I ever deserve you?...you're a lot of the beautiful and all....I'm just a madman who killed his parents!".
"No you are not Jeff...you are more than that".
Jeff sniffs, "I'm so sorry Liu...I'm so sorry" and he squeezes his eyes shut and the three feel the wind in their hair.
Liu also squats down next to Nina:"I forgive you Jeff".

Jeff removes his face from his white hands with long big knuckles and looks at Liu questioningly and then sniffs again: "Wait....what?". "Why?".

"I killed our parents Liu".

"Yes .... but .... as you just said .... and .... at that time I could very well see in your eyes that you were not feeling well at all ... I saw black frightened eyes...that were frightened". "Afraid you'd lost yourself".

"But why do you forgive me?...you wanted to attack me when you saw me again".

"Yes that's right....that's because I was only mad at you for taking our parents from us...but....now I see how broken you are and that it was never your intention and that ....you just couldn't control yourself Jeff...I now see your precious earth and my brother again".

Jeff is sobbing.

"So I forgive you Jeff". "Because I love you and you are my brother and you will always be...we are brothers Jeff...and we will always be for the rest of our lives and whatever happens in life" .

It takes a moment, but Jeff slowly scrambles to his feet and shows Liu and Nina a small, short smile. Nina smiles too and then Liu smiles too.

"Come....we'll be back soon before we turn into icicles."

The two boys nod and follow Nina.

When they are in Slenderman's big house, Jeff and Liu give each other a warm, sweet hug.

Jeff is still crying.

"T...thank you Liu".

Liu smiles.
