Oswald was the first of the two to react. 

"What do you mean?" He spoke softly. 

"Well," Frank started. "I think it would be best to tell him." 

Bendy was confused. Tell him what?

Oswald caught the gist. "Oh. Well... I'll go check in with Boris, then." he left, a peculiar look on his face. 

"Bendy?"

The demon looked into the doctor's eyes. His heartbeat- it was getting faster. The doctor's expression- it was misleading, as if that was his job. 

Bendy sat rigged as the doctor breathed. 

"How did you become deformed?"

The ink demon let out a wheeze. Anger flashed through him. He raised his fist, and crashed it into the wall where his message was painted. A large crack! spinted the tiled wall.

'Mistake!' he wanted to shout. 'Don't you get it? I'm a monster!' he felt a burn seem to race through his arm as he cradled it. His shoulders shook with anger. He did not belong here... not in this place. Not with normal toons. He was a monster, cruel and beated to scream. To make... Others scream.

He huffed out breath after breath, not wanting to meet his eyes. 

Slowly, he calmed down. 

Frank looked scared now- and he felt very unsafe. The demon had hurt himself. Would that mean he was capable of hurting others...?

Frank sighed. 

"Are you alright, young one?"

Bendy met his kind gaze. He began rocking back and forth slowly. He was still seething at himself. He was so angry...

"Do you need rest, son?"

The demon stopped rocking. His hot breath wisped from his mouth. He rest his head back to the top of the chair, sighing deeply. 

"Hah..." he breathed, stiff limbs relaxing. 

The doctor cleared his throat. "Not in here. I have... Another place in mind. Please, follow me. I must speak to Oswald."

The demon nodded. He stood up shakily. 

Frank then placed his hand onto Bendy's shoulder. "Let us go."

Oswald sat down next to the wolf. Boris tilted his head, innocent eyes searching through the rabbit.

"Is Bendy okay?" The wolf whispered. 

"He's fine," Oswald lied cooly. He himself did not know if the demon was fine...

"Mr. Oswald?"

"Yes?"

"What does everyone else think about him?"

Oswald stiffened. "Well... He's not like everyone else. You know that-"

"That's because he's special," Boris murmured. The rabbit stopped. 

"Boris, he was abused," he spoke softly. 

"I know."

Oswald paused. "Why? Was it because of his looks...?" He immediately flashed back to the written message on the wall. Mistake.

Was the reason- the only reason- that Bendy was abused just because of what he looked like? Because he was deformed? It was sick. All of it. He himself had seen the demon- always guarded, unable to speak from his deformity... And then there was Mickey. Concerned for his safety... Just like always.

It almost annoyed him. Of course, he loved his brother. It was hard not to. But when he spoke through the phone- 

"It's not safe, Ozzie!" Mickey had snapped worriedly. "You know it's unstable, you've seen it yourself!"

Oswald snapped back to reality. 

"-Oswald? Mr. Rabbit?"

"I'm fine," he said quickly. "I'm just thinking."

Boris stopped. "Oh." he leaned closer to him on the chair. "What about?"

The rabbit lied. "Bendy has powers." He thought the lie through quickly. "The doctor is curious and he wants to... Test them," he shrugged. "I'm afraid Bendy will do something-" a sharp sound smashed in a nearby room. The rabbit stiffened, but continued. "I just have a bad feeling about this whole thing..."

Boris listened, not interrupting even once. 

"Mr. Oswald," he began. "What do you think is wrong with him...?"

"I... Don't know. We came here to get his injuries checked, but my stupid big mouth went on to tell Frank about his powers," he explained. "Killing two birds with one stone is a good thing, I suppose..."

"Why would you kill a bird with a stone?!" The wolf yelped a tad too loud. 

"It's an expression," Oswald said quickly.

Boris sighed. "Okay, good. You had me scared for a second there..."

The doctor stepped out with Bendy tailing behind. The demon's face was once again guarded. 

"Mr. Oswald," the doctor started. "I think we need to have a little chat."
