Erran had been a little surprised by the sudden hug, but he put his arms around Pam and held her while Juno did the gross job of getting Hathaway down. "I don't know, I don't know who would do this," he said quietly, wincing as the knife came out. It didn't feel quite like a punishment from Them, since They would have probably announced that Marco had done something wrong, but who in the house would go to this kind of trouble to upset people? "It's fucked up, this is a really cruel thing to do."
When Juno got Hathaway wrapped up in the towel that Kate had brought, Erran let go of Pam so that she could take her pet back. "I think the freezer's probably okay now, since it's daytime and people are awake. It's only for a few more hours until it's time for the burial."
