Two weeks had passed. Everyone was still confused and angry about what had happened to Toby. No, it wasn't Jane. No, it wasn't Rake.

Everyone was still upset, although things had gotten better since Slenderman was able to fully revive Toby.

Jeff moved back a little. "Woah, Toby, calm down. Don't tell who what?-"

"Anyone. No one. No one, tell n-no one, Jeff."

"Toby I want to help you but I-I'm afraid I don't understand-"

"I did it, Jeff. It was me. It was me!"

Jeff held onto Toby's shoulders, even more worried. "Look, just tell me what you're talking about so that I can help!"

Toby had to take a moment to inhale, letting more tears fall.
