Joss: Hello friends! Is the food already? I'm starving like a Rhanioid!

(Bulwark sets out a whole entrée on the huge table. Brings wine, water and juice. He gives everyone their plates and silverware. He sits down and looks at everyone. In his mind, he sees his old squad in them but better.)

Bulwark: Bon appetite my team, my squad... My family as mentioned by our leader Isabella. May our prayers reach to those who were sacrifice for our benefits. It will help us with our resolve, to better the lives for all the good people of OAMNI.

(He bows his head)

(They all bowed and prayed. Joss takes first meat and begins to eat savagely. Arya takes some vegetables and Isabella starts with some soup. As the night kept going, they all share jokes and stories of past hunts.)

Isabella: Well, I think I am going to sleep.

(Arya stands.)

Arya: Me too.

Isabella: What are you guys going to do?

(She looks at Joss.)

Joss: I think I will go and take a dump.

(He smiles but she stares with a sad look.)

Isabella: Ok.

(Bulwark smacks the back of Joss's head and whispers to him)

Bulwark: M won't give it, but she will.

(He cleans up the kitchen and places all the dishes away and packs up the spare food)

Bulwark: I'll be in my room when I'm done since everyone is hitting the hay. I don't know, maybe take another LOVELY shower

(He laughs and looks at Joss while he does the dishes and gives him the look again.)

Bulwark: Have a great ... greeeeat night everyone.

(He smiles, stands and follows the girls. They walk up and Arya enters the room. Isabella awaits him inside, while Joss is outside.)

Isabella: Will you be ok? You know...I can stay with you...

Joss: I will be fine. Don't worry.

(He shares a half-smile, then goes down to the first floor. He stretches and walks to the bathroom and closes the door with lock. Isabella closes her door.)

(Bulwark finishes after an hour and walks over to the living room and sits in front of the fireplace. He reads a book that was in the library.)

Bulwark: Well let me give them some time. Not like I'm waiting for anything.

(He laughs)

Bulwark: ... Such is life

(He continues reading in silence)

(Joss exits the bathroom in a rush.)

Joss: Oh shit I forgot we need wood for the fire! Lyra's gonna kill me!

(He gets something to get warmer outside and quickly leaves the place.)

(Bulwark heard Joss go out in a rush and he follows up. He grabs a coat off the coat hanger and exits the house.)

Bulwark: Yo Jaeger, what's up? Where are you going?

Joss: Oh, just to get some wood. Nothing else. And also, Lyra told me she needed to tell me something very important to me. So, you can stay. This will be quick. (He winks and grabs an axe that was near.)

(Bulwark nods and proceeds back into the house. He organizes the living room and heads into his room)

(With a somber look, Joss walks into the forest. After some minutes, Isabella comes down from his room and sees Bulwark organizing everything.)

Isabella: Hey...Bulwark? Where is Jaeger?

(Deep in the forest, Joss begins to walk slowly. He raises his hands, only to notice that they are shaking. He feels a paralyzing pulse throughout his whole body that sends him straight to the floor. He tries to struggle, to stands but is unable. His eyes, slowly turning red, alongside his hair. In silence and cold, his world begins to spin...)

(Bulwark turns around)

Bulwark: Oh, umm he went out to get some wood and ... Oh a special task for Lyra. He'll be back soon. What's wrong?

Isabella: We must retrieve him fast! He is...he is trying to kill himself!

(Arya comes down half asleep.)

Arya: What noise?

(Isabella takes a small coat and rushes out.)

Arya: Isa...bella?

(Meanwhile, with almost no energy left and after a strong seizure, Joss is able to position himself on his knees.)

Joss: I don't know why you keep hunting me...but it all will end soon...

(The same kid, stands in front of him.)

Kid: And do you think that is possible, that I will allow such act? Pathetic!

(At the wave of his hand, Joss falls again to another seizure. His left eye turns completely red and his hair too.)

Joss: Sh...shtoooop! I...I don't want to disappear. I don't want to hurt my friends...my family!

(The kid kneels.)

Kid: But who, o Jaeger, have said you had any of those things?

(Joss looks at him with sadness. His eyes could reflect the little kid.)

Kid: Look at you, someone who doesn't even know who the hell he is, wandering an island, working like a pet for someone who will surely throw you away as soon as everything ends. They don't care about you; they didn't care about me. This world...and the others...are the same. Use or be used.

(He walks some steps ahead.)

Kid: But I am promising you a life with no restraints, no one to tell you what is right or wrong! No one will use you and you can be yourself!

Joss: No!

(The Deadman stands.)

Joss: Every time you get ahold of me, it feels wrong! The bloodlust, the malice...like an endless pit with no return. I cannot live in a world where I may hurt my friends. But I will not live in a world where you control me either!

(He grabs tight the axe and makes an attempt to cut his neck. The child tries to stop him with all his force but is failing.)

Kid: Stupid! Stop at once!!!

Joss: At least I went and hunted with them. We ate like a family and shared some memories.

(He closes and opens his eyes, this time, both turned red. With a faint smile, he tries to swing one last time the axe.)
