So... This chapter seemed so cringe after I re-read it, but I'm too lazy to fix it... Also, don't judge me on that Andrew part, where Aesop just stops and goes to Andrew... My eyes were closing and I wrote most of this at night, until nearly three in the morning.

Outside of Antonio's room...

Aesop: Be prepared, Helena~ It's your last day on this world, how do you feel?!

Aesop: *takes out his knife*

Eli: Aesop, no!

Aesop: Aesop, YES!

Aesop: *tries to stab Helena*

Joseph: *steps in front of Helena, taking the attack*

Aesop: J-Joseph...?

Joseph: Calm down, Aesop...

Aesop: Joseph! Nonono!

Joseph: *falls to his knees*

Joseph: Don't hurt her, Aesop...

Aesop: Wait! Don't speak! Hang in there!

Joseph: I'm done for... I'm sorry, Aesop...

Joseph: *grabs onto Aesop's clothes*

Aesop: No! No, you'll make it! Someone get Emily!

Aesop: *lays Joseph down and sits next to him*

Helena: You do it, Eli, I need to stay with Joseph.

Aesop: OH MY GOD, YOU DO IT, HELENA! YOU LOVE HIM, DON'T YOU?!

Joseph: Aesop... Don't be angry...

Aesop: But she's-

Joseph: Just hold me in these final moments of mine...

Aesop: Don't say that! Someone, please, just hurry and get Emily!

Tracy: I'll do it.

Eli: Tracy?

Tracy: I don't know what happened, but he's screaming for Emily, so I have to go get her. The rest of you don't seem to be helping.

Eli: When did you-

Tracy: Just now. I heard so much screeching, I thought I might as well come out and see what's going on. Thank goodness I did.

Tracy: *runs off, looking for Emily*

Aesop: Joseph, just wait a bit longer! Stay with me!

Joseph: This old body of mine won't last...

Aesop: Joseph... No...

Helena: It was your fault for trying to stab me.

Aesop: It's your fault for always getting in the way!

Joseph: *holds Aesop's cheek*

Joseph: Pay her no mind, my love...

Aesop: *places a hand over Joseph's*
