Henry slowly blinked downwards as he kneeled in the pentagram.
It didn’t work. Why didn’t it work? He did everything the book said. The book, ‘The Illusion of Living’ had been filled with Joey’s ravings. Pages had been ripped out and he had to scour book after book to find the pages that he needed.
After all that work, after all those loops of practicing and dying over and over again to find everything he needed. It took forever to just find a cup that wasn’t covered in ink-!
And yet it didn’t work.
Henry grit his teeth as he squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn’t cry. Not now. Not this deep in.
Taking in a slow, but shaking breath, Henry stood back up. He.. he needed to get bandages. The cut on his arm hurt. He needed to wrap it before the wretched ink seeped into his wounds and caused an infection. He couldn’t handle dying to another sepsis induced heart attack so soon since the last time.
He turned from the pentagram, purposely knocking over the blood filled cup and causing it to spill over the blood made pentagram.
Bandages first. Maybe a brief moment of respite, and then.. then, back to the script again. Back to the endless loops.
Henry softly shook his head as he reached the doorway.
..Maybe next time he can try to talk to Joey again. Maybe.
343rd time’s the try, after all. ..Right?
…
He left the room behind, the candles still lit in the flickering lights of the room.
Slowly, ever so slowly, each one of the candles went out.
A moment passed, and then ink started to bubble in the middle of the pentagram.
why are all my favorite characters everyman whiteboy horror protagonists who don't wanna be here, they just wanna be with their partner, let them go home please?!!

I am sorry
Sammy”you know what that crazy man was right let’s not take these lemons we are going to march right back up there and make him restore order to our world because he is extremely powerful and I have no plan!”
silence
Sammy” wow the odds are a million to one still if we’re going to explode we sued at lest explode with some dignity “
Since Sammy is in Boris in the Dark Survival and can be summoned within Boris' safehouse I think they'd be friends. I feel like despite Sammy finding out Boris' true identity would make him feel a sort of sympathy towards him and try to be nice.
Boris gets along with lost ones, they'll come by his safehouse from time to time and he'll allow them to stay as long as they don't take anything from him without permission.
The Lost Ones can be nice if you have a good relationship with them or if they know that you're safe.
The Lost Ones have mixed feelings towards Henry. He killed Sammy, the one who was keeping them safe, and then killed many Lost Ones. They understand it was in self-defense, but they can't help but feel a tad bit intimidated by him.
The Lost Ones respect Boris. He allows them to stay in the safehouse if need be, he lets them use supplies when asked, and he makes sure they're okay. Boris is well liked among Lost Ones.
Sammy and Henry were the two people to come up with the escape plan, Norman and Bertrum just assisted (not like they could do much anyways).
The Lost Ones like and respect Sammy a lot. He makes sure they're safe, that they have supplies, that they're responsible, etc. While Sammy is a demon follower, he understands others who don't want to. He just goes off on tangents often about his Lord and Savior. The Lost Ones think there's something off about his "religion"... it must've come from somewhere, right?
