Same day, the manor's entrance hall...
Victor: Please help me... I mean Mike! And Norton!
Aesop: Woah, okay. Where are they? Mike's room? Or Norton's room?
Victor: *nods hurriedly*
Aesop: Uhh... Which is it?
Victor: Mike's place... Please hurry... He might make it out alive!
The group: *go to Mike's room*
Aesop: What happened, Victor?
Victor: Norton... He... He's the reason why Mike fainted... I think you should see for yourself...
Victor: *pushes open the door and shuts his eyes*
The group: *all look inside, shocked to see Mike on the floor, and what's happening in his room*
Eli: *walks over*
Eli: You guys all came for Mike's kebabs too? Wow, didn't know they were that good...
Eli: *catches a glimpse of what's inside Mike's room*
Eli: Oh my Lord... Aesop, what have you done, you wretched cursed being?!
Aesop: I haven't done anything!
Eli: The curse is real! We're all gonna die!
Joseph: My darling has done nothing wrong!
Eli: Highly unlike-
Victor: Please get Norton down!
Eli: Oh yes! There's no time to waste! Aesop, help me out!
Aesop: *a little happy that Eli is all friendly again*
Eli: Tracy, could you get Emily?
Tracy: On it!
Tracy: *puts down the mini hunters and rushes off*
Mini hunters: *run away to play*
Eli and Aesop: *slowly walk into Mike's room*
Victor: You guys can't be any slower! Norton has asthma, so he's dying faster!
Eli: We're trying to get him down, Vic! Just wait a bit!
Victor: I can't just wait! Norton is hanging from the ceiling!
Aesop: *brings out a pocket knife*
Eli: You're going to stab Norton to death?!
Aesop: No? I'm going to cut the rope with this knife... Could you stop thinking I'm a murderer?
Aesop: *starts cutting away at the rope that's holding Norton up*
Eli: I'll just keep an eye on you...
Aesop: He might be dead already...
Victor: No! Help him down! He's alive!
Aesop: *checks Norton's pulse*
Aesop: I can't say anything for sure, but he seems pretty dead... He's as cold as a corpse too... He must have died quite a while ago...
Victor: Stop saying he's dead! He won't die if you just get him down!
Aesop: Victor, I'm trying my best!
Victor: Your best is not enough!
Aesop: *completely cuts off the rope, then takes Norton's body and helps lay him down on Mike's bed*
