Ashlyn: Definitely.

(Meanwhile in another room which is decorated with a night sky theme and has a couple small bookshelves, I sit on the bed next to Salem)

Salem: (staring at the floor, he sighs) Is it ever gonna end? Or will it end when I turn into a monster and someone slays me?

Crystal: You know I won’t let that happen. We’ll get through it, and you’ll be completely free.

Salem: (leans on my shoulder) I’m glad we met, Crystal. Who knows where I’d be if we didn’t. Y-You and Phoenix were the first ones to be nice to me...

Crystal: (I hold his hand) I know...we’ll both miss him. But at least we’re still together.

Salem: (nods slightly, a couple tears going down his face, he starts to doze off)

Crystal: (after a couple minutes, I lay him down and cover him with the blanket. I turn to walk out, but he suddenly grabs my hand)

Salem: (shyly) C-Can you stay with me? Just until I fall asleep...

Crystal: (I smile) Sure, let me just make sure everyone else is settled in, and I’ll be right back.

Salem: ...Promise?

Crystal: Promise. (I walk back out to everyone)
