All you remember before blacking out is being drowned in the fountain by the Socs, before everything went red. As your eyes slowly start to flutter open, the first thing you see once you sit up is the body of the Soc who was drowning you splayed across the grass, with a stab wound in his back. Looking to the left, you then spot your best friend and fellow Greaser Nick, sitting on the curb. He's sweating and shivering, his hands trembling as he holds his now-bloodied switchblade in them. Breathing heavily, he speaks up in a quiet tone, sounding horrified.
"...I-I... killed him..."
You can clearly see the tears starting, as he looks over to you. The look in his eyes, one of pure fear, breaks your heart.
