The Broken Loop

Chapter 18: Split Up

"I-it's only now that I understand the depth of the depravity of this...creature - this monster that I unwillingly helped to create."
"As if what he had already done wasn't enough, he found a new way to desecrate, to humiliate, to destroy. As if the suffering wasn't enough, the loss of innocence, the loss of everything to so many people. Small souls trapped in prisons of my making, now set to new a purpose and used in ways I never thought imaginable."
"He lured them all back."
"Back to a familiar place. Back with familiar tricks. He brought them all together. Are they still... Aware? I hope not. It keeps me awake at night."
"I could make myself... sleep. But not yet. Not until I undo what he has done and heal this wound - a wound first inflicted on me, but then one that I let bleed out to cause all of this. He set some kind of trap. I don't know what it was."
"but he lead them there again,"
He overpowered them again And he robbed them of the only thing that they had. Again."
"I don't know how those tiny breaths of life came to inhabit those machines. But they will never find rest now. Not like this.
"I have to call them all back."
"All of them."
"Together in one place."

"Do you know who that 'he' person is?" Bendy asks him. It took me a moment to realize why he was asking that.
Whenever the tape mentioned that 'he', Henry seemed to be slightly angry.

Norman and I look at him.

". . . I'm not exactly sure, but I feel like I know exactly who it is- no, I'm sure it is who I think it is, but for some reason I don't want to believe it's him, probably because I don't have the memory where I found out its him."

. . . What? That doesn't make any sense. . Who is he talking about? Is he talking about Joey? No. . I don't think so.

Henry plays the tape again, I decide to look around the room.

He lied, he said that they lead to the same place, but I don't see them, I look at the door we just left. It's gone. I look around the room. We are standing on a balcony that goes around the entire room, on the left, there's a staircase leading down to a floor below us, I look over the railing, there's a ink fountain against the wall with two pipes on either side of it, to the left of that fountain is a wardrobe looking thing, to the right, against a different wall, there's small fire between two corridors, hanging on the ceiling is a giant Bendy hand,

on the balcony we are on, there's a statue, I walk over to it and wave my hand in front of it.

I wonder if Henry can see us here?

"What are you doing?" Alice asks.

"I'm trying to figure out of he can see us through the statues still. "

"Lets see what's down there?" Sammy asks.

"Good idea." I say, I walk down the stairs, the other three follow, I feel like there should be Butcher Gang here, but there aren't any. There's empty bacon soup cans on the ground, though.
We walk into the corridor on the left.

There's this. . Cage built into the wall, I was expecting a Lost One to be in it. Across from that, there are some empty shelves.

We continue down the corridor, there is a wall of shelves,
Across from that there are two desks with three stools in front of it, and a stool in the left corner next to it. On the left desk there is a tape and a toolbox.
On the wall, next to the stool in the corner, there's a switch for power that's already on.

On the second desk, there are half finished foam-looking heads, at least I think that's what they are.

To the right of that desk, though, on a wooden bench. . . There's this Bendy . . . Animatronic? Robot? Whatever it is . . . I don't like it, I draw out my sword in case it jumps at us, Tom doesn't take his eyes off of it, even Sammy and Alice look uneasy at the sight of it. In the wall above it there's the common words "The Creator Lied to Us."
