For some time now, the situation has been tense. Omni-Man has disappeared, and so has OG Mark. No one knows exactly what's going on. They're also nowhere to be found in the original world, and for the time being, William is staying with Debbie in Mark's room. Both of them are shaken. In the alternative world, a war of Mark variants is raging. Most of the variants are fighting among themselves, slowly picking each other off.

It's clear that Shiesty Mark, Omni-Mark, Mohawk Mark, and Sinister Mark are the ones most likely to survive. Sinister Mark has killed and partially consumed 13 people. And since Friday, he's been lying in a hospital somewhere. Of course, he was admitted normally, as none of the civilians know what's happening.

Now it's Saturday of the following week. Sinister is lying in a hospital bed (he had a severely dislocated shoulder which is already healed, and he's being discharged today). Mohawk Mark has already hired a taxi and bribed the driver; he'll be at his disposal for two weeks. He's just pulling up to the hospital to spring his friend, whom he regularly tried to visit and give updates on the war, which he had to manage alone. Luckily, he won't have to anymore. Mohawk Mark also rented an apartment, unfortunately, a one-bedroom, but the guys don't mind. Mohawk gets out of the taxi and walks up the steps into the hospital building. The reception lets him through. He takes the elevator up and pushes the door ajar without knocking before stepping inside.

"Hey, Sinister... the taxi is waiting, are you really feeling alright now?..." He's asking about his physical health, of course, because he certainly isn't expecting his friend to suddenly stop being a cannibal.
