Ben is so busy trying to keep himself from crying out in pain from his fall that he doesn't notice the homeless man crawling across the ground toward him. He's tired of being terrified, of running from these guys, but what can he do? He's not May, or even his dad.
They would never get into this kind of situation.
The man reaches out a hand to him and grabs his wrist. Ben can't help himself: he yells at the top of his lungs.
Do not fear, brother. Once...our father trusted me to keep him safe.
Ben looks around, unsure if he'd just heard that or if he's finally lost his mind.
I will not let them hurt you. You want revenge for your friend. I can help you. You will never have to run again. No one you love will ever die again.
Ben considers these words momentarily, unaware of the shadow that now seems to flow from the shadows onto his arm.
Choose now, brother. Join with me, and we will save them all. Mother, Father, Sister...and Sidonie.
That seals it.
Deal. Ben Parker says, both in his mind and aloud as the shadows devour him whole.
