Nothing.

Crying
No tears
"TYLER!"
Screaming so loud his lungs could burst.

"TYLER I LOVE YOU! I'M SO SORRY!"
Nothing.
"Don't be gone. Please..don't be gone."
Wait.

Wait.

"Tyler..I'm here baby. Stay with me."
Climbing.
Josh turned to Spider-Man to save him.
Crying.

Hey lovelies, Dylan here. After the super heavy chapter, I thought I should say that our DM's are always open if any of you need to talk. I'm not just saying that either, I mean it. I will talk to you, I'll be there if your friends aren't, or if you can't go to someone irl about what's going on. I'm here. I want you to stay alive. And stay healthy.
Eat, drink, sleep, and do not hurt yourselves. You're worth it.
