[Abigail died in the deserted plot and has just been revived.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? Is anyone out there? It's dark out. I can't see anyone. Please tell me I didn't go through all that just to be alone again.

[There's a moment of Abigail crying.]

I was dead. Am I still dead, is that what this is?

[Being alone feels like hell to her.]

All? Is everyone back?

Don’t know enough people here to say everybody, but people started showin’ back up ‘bout a week ago. We’re not livin’ in a ghost town anymore.

[Abigail stays quiet for a moment, wishing that she could have held on longer.]

It's really over.

Voice;

[thelastjoy]

For now. I’m sure they’ll throw something else shitty at us soon. [Girl can’t help but to be a little pessimistic. This event shook her much worse than the others.] But, yeah. This part’s over.

Re: Voice;

[am_i_a_monster]

Yeah, it's always something around here. But I think I can get through it as long as I'm not alone anymore.

Voice;

[thelastjoy]

You're not. [She hums under her breath, considering.] You been here a while?

Voice;

[am_i_a_monster]

Yeah, it's been over a year now. This is the first time I died.

Voice;

[thelastjoy]

Shit. Sorry. Did someone here..?

[am_i_a_monster]

[She waits a moment before answering.]

Yes.

voice

[thelastjoy]

Shit. [She shouldn't really be surprised, not after the whole mess with the Null's list that happened when she arrived. But Girl's still shocked that there's a murderer in their mist. Well, a current murderer.] I'm sorry, seriously. That's screwed up.

[She pauses.] Who?

voice

[am_i_a_monster]

It's not as bad as it sounds really.   He was helping me. At least I think he was helping me.

Leo.

[She doesn't recognize the name, but Girl tucks it away for later.] Helpin'? You sayin' it was an accident?

voice

[am_i_a_monster]

No. I was hurting and he made it stop.

voice

[thelastjoy]

Wait, so he was definitely tryin' to kill you. I don't-why? What happened?

voice

[am_i_a_monster]

I couldn't stand being alone. Not knowing when it would end or if it would end. It was too much.

voice

[thelastjoy]

So you asked him to kill you? Or he decided to do that all on his own?

voice

[am_i_a_monster]

I asked him to.

voice

[thelastjoy]

I...shit. Seriously? You were makin' it sound like-whatever. [Girl sounds slightly strangled, thrown off by the admission.] That's damn heavy.

voice

[am_i_a_monster]

Being alone was really, really bad. I was confused. I thought it'd make me better and now, I don't know. I think it did. It had to.

voice

[thelastjoy]

You remember dyin'. That's not better. That's the kinda shit that haunts you, follows you like a shadow all your life long.

voice

[am_i_a_monster]

I already have a lot that I carry around with me.   He told my dying would take my sins away.  I thought it would stop them from haunting me anymore.
