Benefit was waiting for Alvin finish making him a sandwich. He quietly played Candy Crush on his phone, before he suddenly got a text.

Benefit: (Weird... No one ever texts me.)

Benefit: He opened the text and looked at it's contents. 

Benefit: (Citres? That is right.. I gave her my number some time ago... Wonder what she needs help with, she didn't to seem to have all her screws last time we spoke.)

Alvin: Here you go. Alvin slides a ham deli to Benefit.

Benefit: Thanks, Alvin. (I guess there is nothing to lose. Might as well say hello.)

Benefit ate his sandwich peacefully before getting up and tapping the link Citres had sent him.

Benefit: (It is leading me back to where we first met..)

Benefit walked to the library and headed for the secret passageway. 

He entered it carefully, being mindful of other people seeing him enter it. 

As he entered a cold chill went down his spine. The place was empty unlike last time.... This place gave him the creeps.

The machinery was off and the kid was gone. 

Benefit looked around before looking back at his phone for directions.

Text: Enter the elevator to the right.

Benefit looked to the right to find an elevator.

Benefit: (How long has that been there....)

Benefit entered the elevator and pressed the only button available.

The doors to the elevator closed and the elevator went down.

Benefit looked around the elevator with a concerning glance. 

The elevator stopped. 

Benefit looked at the doors expecting them to open, they didn't open at first but after another 30 seconds, it opened.

Benefit walked out to see a messy room. No one seemed to be inside though.

Benefit: (How long has this been here....)

???: Squeak!

Benefit looked down to see a little ferret buy his feet.  

Benefit: He knelt down and pet it.  Hey there little guy. 

The ferrert moved to the door and looked back at Benefit for him to follow.

Benefit: You want me to follow you? Okay... 

Benefit seemed unsure of following the ferret, but did it anyways.

Benefit: Where are we going...?

???: Squeak!

The ferret kept moving.

Benefit looked unsure of his decision, and looked around for any possible exits if he needed to run.

The ferret turned the corner, and Benefit followed, it lead to a door.

The ferret looked up at Benefit, as Benefit looked at the ferret concerned.

Benefit opened the door, and walked through before he heard a voice behind him.

Be turned to see someone in a plague doctor mask.

???: Boo...

She injected him with something and it went dark.....

At Dixen's Secret Spot.....

Lysander held a present to Narrator

Narrator: What's this Ly?

Lysander: It is a gift for you being so nice to me! Go on open it!

Narrator: Okay okay, I'm opening it. She giggled at Lysander.

She opened it to reveal a red ribbon.

Lysander: Do you like it? It goes with your red eyes, so I thought it was perfect.

FLASHBACK

Ganxer: It goes with your red eyes, so I thought it was perfect.

END OF FLASHBACK

Narrator stared at the ribbon for a moment.

Narrator hugged the ribbon with tears in her eyes.

Lysander: Woah, hey are you okay? Is it that bad?

Narrator: No... Just reminding me how naive I was in the past..

Narrator put the ribbon in her hair and tied it in a bow.

Lysander: It looks so nice!

Narrator: Thank you, Lysander.

Back with Benefit

Benefit woke up in the middle of a hallway, tied to the floor. 

Benefit: (Fuck fuck fuck- I didn't set a time point... I can't retry!)

???: Good morning. How'd you sleep?

Benefit tried to yell but his mouth was covered.

???: Ah-ah... None of that.... Number... #40? Was it?

Benefit: (Wait.. I remember that number, that is what Citres called me...)

???: I see you have come here to "save" your friend. Until today I never knew you were acquainted. Well, I am sorry to tell you, your friend isn't here...

The masked figure pulled out Citres's phone and shaked it infrount of Benefit, revealing the text he got. Before bringing out Benefit's phone again and smashing them on the ground and breaking them, making sure they would not turn on.

Benefit: he tried to yell again.

???: Anyways.... I noticed something about you recently... You've been abused by Ganxer a lot.. haven't you..

 Benefit: (It has been a bit since she's done that... but I have....) 

Benefit just stared at the masked figure.

???: SO I had this splendid idea that we team up! What do you say? Me and you?

Benefit stared daggers at the masked figure.

Benefit: (Like I would join someone who tricked me and I've just met...)

???: Awe... that is no fun... I guess we will do this the hard way... *She pulled out a needle with a black and white fluid* Join me, or I grow your infection...

Benefit: (Infection?)

???: I bet you are wondering "What infection?" Well my dearie, you have some static on your lovely little scarf that has spread to you, it isn't enough to take you over, but since you've been with it for such a long time, if I gave you a little more feral static, you would be taken over instantly.....

Benefit: (What the hell is a static?? What is she talking about???)

???: Last chance... what is it going to be.....

Benefit: ..... 

Benefit had cut thorough his ties except the one covering his mouth with his dagger, before aiming it at the masked figure.

???: Awe.. what a shame....

Benefit felt a sudden weight in gravity, and looked behind him to see the ferret... except... more..... monstrous on his back. 

And before he could look back, he felt a poke in his neck.

???: Just remember you made this decision.

A sudden jolt came over him, it felt like her body was about to turn to dust. He then felt a very sudden aching headache, his hands went up to his head in pain and he screamed, somehow tearing away the cloth from his mouth..... except... the voice didn't sound his own.....

It was like... he wasn't him in his own body.......

The masked figure walked away watching and the skeleton changed. 

She had a smile on her face. 

She completed what she needed to. 

Back at Dixen's Secret Spot

Narrator was reading in her hammock before a sudden jolt hit her. She seemed suddenly worried, before looking at the elevator to the lab nearby. 
She took a breath before going back to reading, seeming paranoid.
