"TACO? TACO! SNAP OUT OF IT!".

Taco heard the familiar voice ringing in her 'head' before suddenly waking up in the real world.

Taco gasps for air as she looks around frantically, processing what happened and what was she 'experiencing'. Taco looks down and sees the hidden knife that was tucked hidden inside her shell now suddenly appearing in her 'hands'. Taco immediately drops the knife and starts panicking, 'w-what..? I was doing that..? N-No... no.. it can't be... right..?'. Taco starts to question herself, her breathing becoming more and more quicker which made Microphone panic and tried to calm the panicking Taco down. "T-Taco! Just- follow my instructions! Now... ....breathe in... and... ....breathe out...". Taco followed Microphones instructions on steadying her breath.

Breathe in...

Breathe out...

Taco followed her instructions, after a while, she finally calmed down as she looks at Microphone, her face showing concerned while Pickle also barges himself into the scene and immediately rushed in and hugged Taco.

"O-Oh.. thank god- Balloon h-hanged... h-himself... I-I thought w-we almost lost you t-too when we heard Microphone's screams...". Pickle says as his voice stutters, he was holding back tears for Taco's safety.

Microphone's face was also shocked at the mention of Balloon hanging himself. Microphone immediately hugged Taco as the trio hugged each other.

Meanwhile, Suitcase was already crying that her lover, Balloon, hanged himself, OJ was already crying that his brother was dead while Paper tried to comfort him, Paintbrush came into the scene, accidentally cursing himself as he pulls out his phone and quickly dialled 911.

While Paintbrush was busy talking with the 911 operator, Light Bulb sat beside the armless Suitcase and comforted her, she was still sobbing that Balloon hanged himself.

Knife swiftly crosses the frame door room where Balloon had taken his own life, taking a quick glance before taking a photo with his phone which didn't front flash somehow before leaving the scene, everyone was too busy comforting each other so they didn't realise Knife took a picture before fleeing the scene. That's when Trophy came around and sees the on going scene displayed in front of him.

"I don't think Balloon commit suicide". Trophy says to which OJ and Paper immediately stared at him, OJ having red teary eyes, his face is red from him crying so much and is clearly mad at him.

"W-What..? What do you mean by that?". Paper says before patting OJ's 'back' to somehow calm him down.

"Woah- woah... hey there! let me explain, just look at his mouth (*Trophy pointing his finger at Balloon's mouth*), look... it's covered in white substance, this means that Balloon was having a seizure while he was being hanged to death". Trophy replies back to which Paper immediately goes silent and tries to comfort OJ, who was already crying.

The police had arrived and an air ambulance was dispatched near Hotel OJ 2 hours later, the flight paramedics took Balloon's body on a stretcher while OJ and Suitcase followed behind them outside, following them towards the air ambulance.
