A monitor appears outside the theatre.

Remy LeBeau and L. Lawliet are shown being cut apart by an unseen scalpel. This monitor is equipped with sound and their screams are quite audiable across town. The Speakers cannot be disabled or muffled.

All monitors are black and white and are familiar to those characters who took part in "panic room." All are labelled "our dear departed." Monitors will go black at precisely 4:24 PM where all characters on screen will die for everyone to see.

These days, Edward slept in the theater, since there seemed to be space and the old drapings and arching ceiling reminded him reminiscently of home. Without an earthquake, he rather liked it, and the other people living there were so nice.

People were acting strangely today. Kim was often there for him, but she wasn't this morning... and people were saying that others were missing over the journals. That would worry anyone, wouldn't it? As he made his way outside the theater, he noticed Jenny staring at a monitor and approached her. At first, he was happy to see her, and the monitor. There was TV, now! How wonderful... until he saw the expression on the girl's face. His eyes traveled toward the grisly sight on the screen, and his soft eyes widened in horror.

"Oh no! Oh no... that is Gambit! What is happening? Are they OK...? No, no they're NOT OK... someone has to do something, someone has to!"

Jenny felt the tears try to well up in her eyes and forced herself to swallow a few times, blinking so that none of them fell. She wiped at her eyes with her fingertips and sniffed. She couldn't take her eyes away from the horror on the monitors. It was like nothing she'd ever witnessed before in her life and she wanted to vomit but she couldn't look away. What they were doing to the two men was beyond sick. It was pure evil.

When she heard Edward's voice, she wrenched her eyes away from the monitors and looked up at him. Her brows furrowed with concern and she said, "Oh, Edward. Don't look. Don't watch that. It's horrible."

Quickly she stood up and crossed the space between them, careful to stop short of his scissored hands. To her he had always seemed like such a pure soul, childlike and gentle. She couldn't bear to think of him watching the atrocities that were on display. And with him to think of, she could forget, however momentarily, that her heart was being ripped out on the screens behind her. "What can we do?" she asked more to herself than to him.

Startled and confused, Edward couldn't tear his eyes away from the screen. Our Dear Departed... that sounded terrible! Edward's mouth opened in horror as one of Gambit's fingers was sliced off in segments, and L's eye was cut out of his head piece by piece. It would take them a very long time to get better, Edward realized. They would be in a lot of pain for weeks and weeks... he turned toward Jenny, watching her wipe at her tears. Edward was crying, too, but to wipe at his face would be to do something horribly similar to what was happening on the screen to himself. He nodded, turning away and sitting on the curb, folding his arms across his knees.

"Jenny? They are going to die? Gambit, and...?"

"L," Jenny finished for him, her voice so quiet that it was nearly inaudible above the screams issuing from the monitors.

Looking up at Edward she saw tears trailing his cheeks and lightly she brushed them away for him, knowing it would be impossible for him to do it himself. Everything was so wrong. Someone as sensitive and sweet as Edward should not be in this place. Should not have to see these things.

She just wanted to run away, cover her ears and wait until it was all over. Until she was either alive because L was still alive or dead because he had perished in the experiment. She couldn't watch him being flayed alive anymore. Couldn't listen to it because it was like her soul was receiving the same cuts.

"I think they are. Going to die. Yes, Edward. You should come away, sweetie," she answered and tried to tug at his arm gently in any direction away from the monitors and their horrific display of torture.

"L?" Edward asked, sniffling, looking truly miserable. "L is your friend? Ohhh... oh no.... I'm sorry..." his shoulders curled forward, his scissors looking even heavier. He felt terrible that Gambit was dying, that the person L was dying, even though he didn't know them. Poor Edward didn't know, yet, that there were other monitors with other people.

"I need to find Kim... she loves me, she will want to know that I am OK..." Edward said, hurrying away from the monitors. "Maybe... maybe they will be OK. Maybe someone will save them... maybe, Jenny?" he glanced back at the monitors, at the blood and cuts and pain, and burst into tears.

"Yes, L is my friend," Jenny whispered without bothering to elaborate on it. There was no real label for what L was to her but friend was enough for the moment. Friend was important. L's words about love being about watching someone die suddenly rang in her mind. She knew for certain what Edward didn't. L and Gambit were going to die.

Suddenly she knew she had to watch. As despicable and disgusting as it was, as heartbreaking as it all was, she had to watch. Because she loved them. Albeit she loved them in two separate ways but she loved them nonetheless and she wouldn't be moved now.

As Edward hurried away, she watched him go, her heart aching for him and hoping that he would not see Kim on one of the monitors. She couldn't bear to think of that sweet, simple man losing someone the way she was losing two someones. "I hope you're right, Edward. I hope someone will save them," she said quietly and looked away as he began to cry, knowing she would cry too if she kept looking at him with the sound of screams and terror all around her.
