We just kept running, even when the web-like ink disappeared, we kept running, eventually, we made it to some kind of ink river, we're standing at the docks, there's one of those boats. . . Wait a minute.

"How did we get here? The safe house with the fish tank should be down that corridor right there." I say.

Everyone else looks around.

"It appears the studio has become a labyrinth again." Sammy says as he gestures for Tom to help him get the boat in the river.

We get in, it's a very tight fit, but we all manage. Sammy and I are at the back, Tom is at the front with Bendy and Wally, Alice and Norman are in the middle.

"I call driving." Bendy says to Tom and Wally, we then start moving.

After a few minutes we stop.

"Why'd you stop?" Alice asks Bendy.

"I didn't." Bendy replies, confused.

"Check the paddlewheel." Wally says, I look to see ink clogging it, I draw my sword and hit the ink, Sammy sees what I'm doing and helps.

"It's unclogged, Bendy." Sammy says.

We start moving again.

". . . Shouldn't there be something in the river?"

"What was that, Bendy?" Norman asks.

"Nothing."

We start going through some sort of tunnel.

Sammy and I had to unclog the paddlewheel two more times, this time I'm keeping an eye out, he's right, shouldn't there be something in the river?

Ten minutes later, we arrive at a town. .

"Isn't this the place where Tom put an axe through Sammy's head?" Bendy says.

"I. . Vaguely remember that." Sammy mutters.

How does Bendy know that? I don't think he was even here for that. . Although, I do only vaguely remember that.

"Shouldn't there be a person on that house over there?" I say, looking at a house built over the ink.

The others look over.

"I don't know. Probably?" Sammy says.

We dock the boat and get off, we look around, it's like a ghost town.

We walk across planks to get to the rest of the town, I see a statue of Bendy.

"There's a statue." I say.

Sammy and Alice walk over to it, after a few moments of struggling they knock it over.

I don't get why we are breaking the statues, that's what made him the Ink Demon again anyways. . . Although, it's nice learning more about Henry. . .

"So, you want me to help you with this restaurant you want to do?" I ask him.

"Yes, c'mon, Henry, it will be much more fun than your current job."

"William, I already said I'm happy working at the studio."

"No you aren't."

"Why do you think that?"

"It's obvious that you've become bored of working there, and the fact that you definitely don't trust your boss."
