Sara seems pleased by this change of events. In breaking Josh, she's effectively broken Jeff, which was one of many plans in this event. But she can sense the disharmony in Josh's mind, the chaos that lingers there would be perfect for Nyarlathotep. Her hand moves off of Jeff's neck, reaching downward to grab Josh's shirt...

In that split second, Jeff stands and grabs both of her arms, stepping between her and the near catatonic Josh. He knows what Josh wants, but the teenager doesn't deserve it. He needs a real second chance, not something he's offering.

"Josh. You have to get up and run. Live on. I messed up, but you can change..."

"Neither of you can change..."

"You can just shut up for a few minutes!" In a rare display of rebellion, Jeff removes his hand and punches Sara across the face. The older woman breaks free from Jeff's grasp, stepping back a few feet, her body starts to glow purple.

Jeff turns, quickly placing one hand on Josh's shoulder. "Go. You have to move on and forget about me. Live your life the way you want to without anyone telling you what to do, Josh."
