The hermits were more on edge because of the attack, but Beef was the most. Like we've established, it was scarring. He hadn't even been able to say goodbye, or spend his last moments with him. He was dead as soon as they found them, and then his body disappeared. While with the others, he ignored them. It wasn't really called for, but he just didn't feel like caring. Some of the others knew he was hurt, and left him to his own devices, but some of the others tried to comfort him. Though it was mainly Bdubs and Keralis, one feeling bad, and the other was also close to Etho. They were the only people Beef spoke to, and even though he knew it wouldn't be healthy, he still did it.

------------

The hermits split up again, it had been about three to four days since Etho's death. And they had gone exploring again, which probably wasn't a good idea. This time, there was no scream. Well, that was until someone found the body. Before they found it, Beef had heard the faint sound of a gunshot, but he shrugged it off. Even before the body was found, Beef had blanked out, but he had thought it was of stress, most likely from Etho's death. That was before the scream, which Beef didn't recognize. "It was one of the new people..." He mumbled, realizing, and he started rushing towards the sound, just as he did when Etho died... Once the hermits had arrived to the scene, only to find Tommy, in Tubbo's arms. He was crying over his lost best friend, and the only person he knew while here. Tommy's normally white and red shirt was a deep red, his blonde hair stained with his own blood. Tubbo's green shirt was also stained with his blood, and Tommy's wound was clearly in his chest, if you were to look closely, you could see his torn cartilage, and his bloodied skin. The bee boy was clearly hurt, and no one had noticed, but Tommy was still breathing. He had slightly opened his, previously closed, eyes, and muttered "What happened... Tubbo...?" Before he fainted again, sending Tubbo into another fit of sobs. Yet again, once all the hermits entered, the door slammed shut. Evelyn, in hologram form appeared, with yet another message. "Now, this wasn't supposed to happen, but we had been spectating someone else... We are unable to save Tommy, my apologies Tubbo." She said softly, her eyes full of concern for the young ram. She started to speak again "Now. One more death until your friends will appear Tubbo. They'll be here shortly... Now, as planned, you all will be given rooms, which I had forgotten to assign last time." She continued to speak, showing them each of their rooms. "This will be the last time I speak, that is until you figure out the murderer, or the next death, when the others arrive. Good luck you all, may the creator give you fortune" She ended with, fading away. Tubbo was still crying by the end of her speech, and he wiped his tears. Like Beef, he was scarred, but this time, he had gotten to spend Tommy's last moments with him. Yet again, Tommy's body disappeared, and his blood faded with him. This time only the blood was left on Tubbo's shirt.
