Benny nodded and pushed himself off the couch, to grab his jacket. He ate the sandwich pretty fast, making you smile gently as he took your hand in his as the two of you exited his house.

.

Knocking against Ethan's bedroom door, you and Benny peered inside to see that the lines were flicked off and the curtains were slightly parted. You glanced around the room to see that it was empty.

"Ethan?" You called out softly.

"Uh, your, ah, your uh.. mom says you're nuts," Benny stated awkwardly. You nudged his side and gave him a look as he chuckled nervously. He stood by the door, standing beside you. "We can hug it out if you want. I won't actually hug you but we can talk," Benny mentioned slowly.

Ethan stood in the corner of his room, peaking over his bookshelf. You furrowed your brows you saw he was shaken and scared. "Benny.. show me your hands. Now!" You glanced at Benny with a curious gaze as he hesitantly put out his hands, showing Ethan.

"Same two as last time, dude," Benny mumbled.

"Well, the last time I saw you, you were Stern. He had your ring," Ethan shakily replied.

"Yeah, everything kind of went blank after I snuck into his office. I just woke up a little while ago at home," Benny replied.

"I brought him home, E," You whispered.

"Yeah, she made me this wicked sandwich, but I don't know what was in it," Benny looked at you.

"Turkey, doofus," You nudged his side as he smiled and looked back at Ethan.

"Everybody's dead, guys.." He slowly came out of the corner, "I see them.. they're all dead." You swallowed thickly and felt goosebumps arise amongst your arms.

"Relax, dude. First, um, you see dead people?" Benny chuckled pathetically.

"Benny," You warned and pinched his arm as he winced softly. He scoffed lightly and jumped into the light to spook Ethan. "Ha! I'm pretty sure I'm fine." You rolled your eyes and noticed how scared Ethan looked when he saw Benny as a decaying human body with blood splattered amongst his face. You stood into the light and gripped Benny's forearm.

"Come on, Benny, that's not funny," You spoke softly. Ethan's eyes turned to you as he saw you in the same form, taking in a sharp breath.

"You guys are not fine," Ethan whispered shakily.

You parted your lips and breathed gently. Benny furrowed his brow and stood beside you, "Okay.. Um, I want to have Granny take a look at your brain, all right?"

.

Standing beside Benny in the doorway of Grandma Weir's office, you nervously watched as her hands were placed on either side of Ethan's head. You watched while gnawing on the inside of your cheek, hands shaking. Her ring glowed as he looked deep within Ethan's mind.

"Anything?" Benny toyed with the bottom of his lip.

"Yes," Grandma Weir replied.

"In his head?" You asked shakily.

"Yes."

"Is it bad?" Benny added. Grandmas Weir looked at the two of you with a slightly annoyed gaze.
