*Thanos has done the Snap, wiping out half the universe, including L, Artha, Rey, and Lucas. The survivors have sullenly gathered at a schwarma place.*

*Everyone is sitting at a long table, still in shock by what happened just an hour before. Connor is in the middle.*

Connor: I can't believe it. Most of our friends. Gone. Before our eyes.

*A phone rings. It's Artha's. Connor answers it.*

Connor: Hello?

Caller: *very panicked* Artha? Is that you?

Connor: No. I'm...his father. Who is this?

Caller: I'm his boyfriend Rob!

Connor: Ok ok just calm down.

Rob: I'm sorry, it's just...I just watched most of my family and friends...well I'm not sure what happened...I wanted to make sure Artha was alright!

Connor: I'm sorry, Rob.

Rob: What?!

Connor: He...he was a good kid...hello?

*Rob has hung up*

Connor: DAMMIT! *Pounds his fist on the table* SON OF A BITCH!

Light: Connor, calm dow—

Connor: Calm down?! I just watched my best friend, my surrogate son, and my wife...I assume DIE...right before my very eyes! And then I watched as more of my friends and half of our entire army do the very same! And it's all my fault.

Light: How is this your fault?

Connor: WHY DIDN'T WE JUST TRY TO FUCKING DESTROY THE STONES WE FOUND?

Light: Do you really think those would break with Earthly means? There was nothing we could have done.

Connor: What do you care Light? You tried something similar a few years ago! A few years ago, this would have been YOU we were fighting!

Light: Well that's not me anymore! Besides,
You think you're the only one who's lost loved ones? For all I know, my dad, I know we haven't seen him in a long time, but for all I know, he's been affected by this! Or how about Elmira? She and L were going to get married! And he's gone too!

Connor: ...you're right.

*Stitch jumps onto Connor's shoulder*

Connor: Hey buddy. *Holds Stitch's hand*

Stitch: Connor, Lilo okay?

Connor: I don't know, Stitch. But I'm sure she is.  *Scritches his head. Stitch licks his face and crawls into his lap. Connor pets Stitch*

Harry Potter: Hey...where's Elmira?

Misa: *knocks on women's room door* Elmira?

Misa: *hears groaning. Opens the door and gasps at what she sees.* Harry, get Cap.

*Soon, Captain America walks in. Elmira is in kneeling in the middle of the floor, a knife in her hand, sobbing as she cuts deep, long, bloody gashes into her arms*

Misa: What are you doing Elmira?!

Elmira: I've uh...I've had depression for a while...this is a habit I've picked up.

Captain America: Well I fail to see how it helps.

Elmira: It...it helps me see my pain.

Captain America: Does it help more or does it hurt more?

Elmira: I've been doing it in secret for a while.

Captain America: You didn't answer my question.

Elmira: sigh....no.

Captain America: Then why bother?

Elmira: Cap, at least half of my friends, including my fiance, are dead!

Captain America: And how do you think L would react if he knew about this? Is harming yourself like that going to bring him back?

Elmira: No.

Captain America: Does it make you feel better?

Elmira: No.

Captain America: *hugs her* Then why bother?

Elmira: *quietly cries*

Captain America: We are going to bring L back. We are going to bring everyone back. And then you're going to get some help.

Elmira: *sniffle* ok.

Captain America: Now I think it would be best if you handed over the knife.

Elmira: *hands the knife over*

Captain America: Now let's get you fixed up. Does anyone have any bandages or first aid?

Harry: I'll handle it. *Takes out his wand, then takes Elmira's arms*

Harry: Vulnera Sanentur!

*Elmira's arms heal*

Elmira: Thanks.

Captain America: Alright. Come on. *They escort her out*
