"Norman's getting... shipped out?" Ray asked. "Yes. It's happening tomorrow." Isabella said. You winced in pain as you grabbed your leg. "So then, what happened to (Y/n)?" Ray asked. Isabella smiled. "It was a clean break so don't worry." Isabella said. Everyone gasped. Isabella picked you up. "I guarantee it'll heal up perfectly without a scar. Though it'll take a few months to do so. I do hope that it's healed before your birthday, Ray." Isabella said. Ray growled. "And Norman, give me that bag later." She said. Norman gasped. "Now. Let's go back to the house." Isabella said as she began to walk back.

"What are we supposed to do? Norman's getting shipped out. She took the rope. Not to mention (Y/n) can't move." Don said. "(Y/n)'s gonna heal up in no time. And the rope can be replaced!" Ray shouted. "The escape can happen. It has to!" Ray said. "But Norman's our focus for now!" He continued. "Out of all of us, why was he picked to be shipped?" Gilda questioned. "When she said the situation changed, she meant the next shipment. It was about Norman." Ray said. "She even... got rid of Sister Krone." Gilda said.  "It seemed like everything was normal this morning, right? She was smiling and doing chores like she usually does. And now she's gone, and it's all because of mom." Don said. Don gasped. Ray angrily kicked a bucket and sent it flying. Meanwhile Norman and Emma were watching over you as you laid in bed. "(Y/n)." Norman said. You gasped and looked at them. You reached your hand out and Norman took it with both hands. You gasped and began to cry. "There's no need to worry. All she did was take the rope." Norman said. "But that's not the point." You said. "You don't have to give up on this. Your leg will heal." Norman said. You quickly sat up.

"No, Norman! We can't let you get shipped!" You said. "You'll succeed in escaping." He said. "You're coming too! Okay?! You have to, 'cause we need you!" He slowly let go of your hand. "Thirsty? I'll get some water." He said. "Norman!" You said. Norman got up and left the room. Norman walked through the halls and went to the sinks. He turned the sink on, and dropped the cup in the water. He gasped and fell to the floor as he began to cry. "Ray, what about Norman?!" Don asked. "He's going to escape! No matter what!" Ray shouted. Don and Gilda gasped and Ray growled in frustration. Then he turned to them. "Don, Gilda, let's go." He said. They gasped, then nodded. You and Emma gasped as you heard the door open. 

Ray came in and the three of you shared determined looks. "We're getting Norman out." Ray said. You and Emma nodded. Norman stood back up and got the water. Then he began walking back to the bedroom. Norman stood next to the door and took a deep breath. Then opened the door and smiled. "I'm back." He said. He looked surprised to see Ray. "Ray." He said. "The plan is, tomorrow you'll escape by yourself." Ray said. "You won't die. Not on our watch." Emma said. Norman smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, but... I can't." He said. "You can!" You, Ray and Emma shouted. Norman grunted. "But to be more accurate, you'll just pretend to do it." Ray said. "Huh?" Norman asked. "You'll disable your tracking device, fake an escape. Then hide in the area till (Y/n)'s healed up." Ray said. "And on the day of the escape, you'll run away with us." You said. "Yeah, but even if it's fake, once I go security'll get together." Norman said. "Not a problem. Based on what the houses's caretaker policies, security won't increase much." Ray said. "Caretaker policies?" Norman asked.

"One, to let us all grow freely, two, strict confidentiality. The first is for developing our brains. A child that grows up freely with rich emotions, that's the minimum requirement for the product here." Ray said. "So then, point two, means..." Norman said. "Yeah. The demons stay out of sight. If we fear them, our brains won't grow as planned. So the worst they'll do is add more guards or caretakers. And those things we can deal with. I know it!" Ray said. "Even so, if they end up making the wall taller than it is now, how do you plan on climbing over it?" Norman asked. "You can make a ladder! While you're hiding out in the forest." Ray protested. "What if they change the tracking device to a more complex one?" Norman asked. "If they implant new ones, we'll know where they are. So we can take them out! We can handle it!" Ray said. Norman sighed. "Don't you get it?! We're telling you that you don't have to die! I'll supply your food and keep you hidden. No matter what! Tighter security should be no problem! And I still haven't used my trump card to outwit mom! So stay alive! Just pretend to run away and then-" Ray was cut off. "I can't." Norman said. Ray gasped. "Sorry, but it won't work. It's not security. If I run, you, (Y/n) or Emma might end up getting shipped in my place.
