Oh God.
Oh God.
She's dead. She's actually dead. He killed her.
Stella's dead.
You hear sobs echo out around you from the other people in the room. You think you might be one of them.
Stella's dead.
You were never that close to her but,
Oh God she's dead.
You remember the way she hopped around so happily when that new hero, Terra, debuted.
You still have the video somewhere on your phone.
She's dead.
She's never going to hop around again.
Oh God.
What… What was the last thing you said to her? You can't remember.
What did you say to her? Was it "Good morning"? Was it "How are you doing"? What did you last say?
Stella's dead. You're going to join her soon.
He's going to kill everyone in this room.
Oh God.
He takes a step towards you.
No. No. Please no.
Everything seems blurry.
Oh God no.
Something stops him.
There's a hand on his wrist.
"That hurt."
Stella!???!??!?
That… That was Stella's voice! But how? She's dead!
You wipe the tears away and look at her.
She seems fine. She looks almost the same as she always does.
She's not bleeding. She's not bleeding!?
She got stabbed in the chest, repeatedly, and her throat got slit, but she's not bleeding.
There's not a drop of blood on her.
How??!?
How is she still alive!?
