ink attack.

You and Bendy are longtime friends, having known each other ever since you moved into the neighbourhood. He was the first kid to ever talk to you. Ever since, you two have been almost inseparable. During the time you've been friends with him, you're aware of the ink illness he has, a.k.a the "inkness", as people tend to call it. You've seen him suffer through it, and you're never able to help out, as his brother Boris takes that role.

You know how bad it gets. You know the pain he suffers, and you know there's nothing you can do to help...at least, you thought. You see, when Bendy and Boris had found a map showing them all the Ink Machine's parts (only them, nobody else can see it for some odd reason), they had immediately made it their mission to find them, not only to help out Bendy, but to help out everyone suffering from this horrid illness. They knew they couldn't do it alone, so they had come to you and offered you to tag along.

Obviously, you said yes, and now, there's a lot more people who are a part of the crew. There's the Cup brothers, Cuphead and Mugman, the famous author, Felix the Cat, and some more who stay behind the scenes, like Mickey and his team. Either way, you're grateful to be here, helping out in any way you possibly can.

One day, you're all making your way to the next part, making stops along the way and maneuvering through obstacles to progress even further. In some stages, you're still surprised that one of your favourite people; Felix, decided to help out. The dude's like...your FAVOURITE author. He's the last person you'd ever expect to be tagging along. You're extremely happy, nonetheless.

Except, one thing's wrong. Bendy's not with you anymore. You count the Cup brothers, Felix, Boris, and the black cat Cuphead took with him that he decided to call "Jackpot". No Bendy. You decide to tell the others that you're gonna go back and look for him, and they all decide to wait where they're at until you come back.

You're going back, calling out for him, your head darting at every noise, hoping he's around somewhere. Anywhere. You keep pacing, and after 10 minutes, but what felt like 2 hours, you hear gagging and whimpering. It sounds like Bendy.

Immediately, you rush over to where the noises are coming from, and your worst fear is confirmed. Bendy lies there, ink everywhere. He's almost sobbing, the ink taking over his body as he starts coughing some up. The substance is so thick, you wouldn't be surprised if he was choking on it.

"I-It hurts so...m-much...! cough cough B-Boris...!"

You stand there, not knowing what to do. He hasn't noticed you yet, his back turned to you. The more you look at him, the more you can see just how pained and petrified he is. His body trembles so violently. His breathing is so erratic, too. His tears mix with the ink, making the ink run thin.

"G-GAAHHHH!! P-PLEEEASE!!!"

...You should probably help him.
