Agòri realizes who it is....it's Astor Agòri gets up and opens the door and Astor Is there waiting patiently. He turns and sees Agóri Standing In the doorway. "Man....you look like shit" he says in a playful manor. Agóri invites him in and they sit at the once broken table. "So.... what's All this about...like with ya know....." He says trying not to be pushy "My face?" Agóri replys. "Yea your face it's just strange you look completely different" he says. Agóri tells Astor The event's of that night The man fell into his apartment. "I didn't know ....how much pain you where in.." Astor Says with a somber tone. "It's ok" Agóri replied "where do you work Agóri" he asked assertively. "The grease trap why?" Agóri asked curiously "after work I'll come See you and we can talk more"... "Ok" he replies. After that he Leaves....a few hrs pass and Agóri is finishing up his shift at work. He is outside when he hears a unfamiliar sound. "Who's There" he Shouts ...no response.

It's Astor "are you ok why are you running" he says concerned. "We gotta get out of here it's right behind me we gotta keep running" he says in a panic. "What are you talking about.... there is nothing behind you" Astor Says. Agóri turns around and like Astor Said nothing was behind him.

A beast throws its tail towards Agóri. Agòri closes his eyes and says "I guess this is the end huh". "WHO SAID YOU GET TO DIE YOU UGLY BASTARD" someone screams at the top of their lungs. Agòri opens his Eyes to see a familiar face. The man who started Everything...had punched the Beast.
