19 2A-2: The final blow (Shaun and Gavin ending)

Shaun woke up with a big smile on his face. It had worked! While fighting Gavin, Shaun had noticed a memory floating nearby. Since time doesn't pass in the memories, he hopped in to buy himself some time. Conveniently, it was a future memory of them fighting. He knew he was going to lose. But that didn't matter. He had learned that dying in that world was the only way to escape, although it completely cut off your ability to ever go back.

And Shaun was going to take advantage of this. He had the perfect twisted plan to get back at Gavin. Surely if he was trying to kill Shaun in that world, he would try to kill him in real life. But that's why he had created his plan!

When he awoke in the true world, he headed out and broke into Gavin's house quietly, and found him inside his room, completely passed out and disgusting. He was armed with a knife, and he approached him. He raised the knife above Gavin... and then put it down next to him. He reached into his bag for a sandwich, water, and some sleeping pills. He gave Gavin a little of each. Because here is the thing, even if Gavin tried to kill himself now, he wouldn't be able to awaken in the real world, he would be stuck feeling the incredible pain in that damned place.

It would be his hell now. He would be stuck in that cathedral, bleeding, stabbing himself, not dying. And maybe if Shaun could get his hands on anesthetics and an IV he could keep Gavin there permanently while being gone! He would have killed him, but that's no fun, plus then he'd be a criminal. Instead, he would be looking after his "sick" friend, and then everyone would be so fond of him! A win-win, well, not really, but whatever. This is what he deserved. This was his downfall, this was his end. He had said he would defeat anyone who harmed him, this was his way of subduing the threat. He decided to give Gavin a few more pills just so he could go out. He headed for the door.

"Goodbye Gavin."
