"Oh, I'm grinning alright.. Grinning from EAR. TO. EAR."

(the 'secret'-ish ending lolz)

---

With the crystal obtained and the p.AI.nter 'rescued' - killed. You were pretty confident that you could escape this hell with barely a stratch.

Finishing the Ridge, you were about to open the door- but.

Was someone slamming against it?

It opened. Sebastian?. You'd seen the guy once, selling you items for your personal gain.

Now here he was, in a frenzied panic. Anger? Yes. Pain? Yes.

"YOU-!!!"

He screamed, snaking his way over at lightning pace. You tried to run: he grabbed you, holding you up to his face.

"You could've had ANYTHING you ever wanted. Anything I ever wanted..."

He gestured a clawed hand to his chest.

"And you still went out of your way to take EVERYTHING I HAD IN THE PROCESS."

Sebastian curled his hand into a fist, sighing before he continued.

"You entitled brat... You expect me to sit idly by and keep smiling, as if nothing ever happened.."

He chuckled quietly, shaking his head as his esca's light flickered threateningly.

"Oh.. I'm smiling alright.. GRINNING FROM EAR. TO. EAR."

He put his clawed hand to his mouth, stretching the end of it into a large smile,sharp teeth visible.

"Don't even start with that 'following orders' schlock. You knew what you were doing all too well. Took your sweet time.. Enjoyed EVERY LAST SECOND OF IT?"

He stared at you with narrowed eyes, a small mocking smile coming onto his expression.

Sebastian chuckled, looking at you with those bright blue eyes, twisted in anger.

"EXCELLENT. I'll return the favor.. And I'll enjoy it when I do.. THIS!!"

He slammed his clawed hand into you, THROUGH you. Ripping out your heart and throwing you to the ground. Sebastian stood over you, holding your heart as your vision was starting to blur..
