“The very stars weep for your loss, but, fear not, there is a way to save him still,” Claudio says, Violet looks up at him confused. ”Are you trying to make fun of me now? There’s no way of going back to save him, it’s impossible.” ”That’s where you’re wrong.”

Karl shoves his hand into the drain pipe, desperately trying to reach the keys. ”C-C-Can you feel them?” Denise asks desperately. ”Almost there,” he says, twisting his tongue, hoping it will somehow add an extra inch to his reach, that’s when he feels something pierce the back of his skull.
