An NPC's Reality

        “Oh god, Matt. Are you okay? Can you hear me?” I asked Matt as I tried to help him stand and get away from Ava.


	“What the hell is wrong with you?” Grayson asked Ava, moving towards her.


	“Have fun boys.” She said as she ran around us and out the front door. 


	“I’ve never felt this kind of pain before, am I bleeding?” Matt asked quietly.


	“It’s okay buddy, we’re gonna get you some help.” I said as he put an arm around me and an arm around Grayson. 


	“There’s gotta be a hospital that can help, or something.” Grayson said as we slowly walked out of the building and onto the sidewalk. 


	We looked around everywhere for signs as we walked but couldn’t see anything for a few blocks until Grayson stopped.


	“There’s something important over here. I feel like we’ve been here before. Matt, you hanging in there?” Grayson said toward Matt.
