Stampy went back to his house after visiting hours were over. He ran to Squid, hugging him tightly. "S-Squid!" He sobbed out. Squid was surprised, hugging him back. "Stampy! What's wrong!?" He asked confusedly. "It's Lee!" He exclaimed, looking at him with tears in his eyes. Squid tilted his head. "What's wrong with him!?" He asked.

"He's gonna die!" Stampy exclaimed. Squid stared at him, not believing it. "W-What!?" He asked. Stampy nodded. Squid was so shocked. He tried to calm Stampy down. "Stampy, Stampy, shhh..." He soothed. "You know Lee is strong...he'll be okay." Squid said. Stampy shook his head. "You-You didn't see him! He was so...so...bad..." He said. "Lee Bear is strong but I don't know how strong..." He cried out, pulling away and looking down.

"He's strong enough, that's all that matters." Squid assured. Stampy sniffled and nodded, wiping his eyes. Squid patted his shoulder and smiled assuringly. "Th-Thank you..." He whispered. Squid nodded. "You're welcome." He smiled.

The two calmed down a little, and by the two, I mean Stampy. They had some tea and then went to bed. In the morning, Stampy went to the hospital to see Lee. He rushed in and told them the room number, in which he was led to the room. He walked in to see Lee, laying up slightly with his head tilted his head. Stampy smiled and sat down in the visitor's chair. Lee looked over at him once he opened his eyes. He smiled and sat up. "Mmm...g'mornin'." He said. Stampy nodded. "Good morning." He smiled.

Lee was still a bit drugged from yesterday, so he was still a bit loopy. He giggled and waved. Stampy chuckled a bit and waved back. They chatted for a long time, until night fell, actually. Stampy was about to leave when Lee sat up. "Stampy? Will you stay with me?" He asked, still loopy. Stampy looked over at him and smiled. "Uh," He looked to the nurse, who nodded. "Sure I can." He chuckled.

Lee smiled and held his hand, looking sleepy. "Why do I feel all funny..." He asked. Stampy held his hand back. "They have you on medication." Stampy smiled. Lee nodded. They chatted some more until they were both about to fall asleep. They were now laying together, Lee was cuddled up to Stampy's chest while Stampy was thinking about how much time he had left with Lee.
 
He started to think about all the good times he had with him, when they first met, the great times and the worst times. Stampy knew he could always rely on him, it just killed him knowing Lee couldn't rely on him back in this situation. Stampy hugged his best friend a little tighter, closing his eyes so he wouldn't cry. He didn't want to lose Lee. Many times he had thought he did, but he always pulled threw. This time might be different.

Stampy looked down at the sleeping bear in his arms and smiled sadly. He didn't want Lee to be in pain. He also didn't want to lose him again. He wanted all of this mess to be over, for Hit to be long gone, for Finnball to come back, and for everything go back to the way it used to be. Stampy had never thought that Hit would go as far as to kill a person, sure, he would torture, but probably not kill, he started with Finnball, now slowly working his way up to killing every last one of Stampy's friends.

Stampy growled to himself, cuddling Lee a bit to calm down. It worked, and he finally went to sleep.
