Three, four, better run some more
I never would have accepted his help if I’d known what he’d do.
When the stranger who got me out of a mess in Springwood turns the town into a slaughterhouse in my name, I do the only thing I can do.
I run.
Not far enough, though, because I can feel him in Akron, looking for me. But he wants to take me home, and I can’t go back. Not after what he did.
Especially when I know that more than anything, he wants me home with him.
But when his words betray how he really feels, and instead of violence from the monster of Springwood, I get something completely different. Will I be tricked into going home after all?
Or will he drag me away, kicking and screaming,
with his claws so deep I’ll never be free?
