You two were trying to fight off the last few zombies in the house you were raiding when Damien paused.

Philip...? Please tell me this is your idea of a joke. If so, it's not funny.

When Pip didn't respond he just kind of stared blankly.

This was the first time he had called Pip by his name.

He only groaned.

He wasn't Pip. Not anymore. Damien stared silently. You could hear him mutter "Philip, please" and "you aren't dead..." Under his breath.
