Look, it was never meant to be like this.

There was 2:34 minutes left on the round timer. Shedletsky, Builderman, and Dusekkar were all dead. I was on cooldown for another 14 seconds, and chance needed a heal badly. I watched as the cooldown ticked down, ready to heal Chance so he could take a shot at stunning the killer without dying. I watched as Chance was running from 1x1x1x1, praying that he or someone else could find a medkit for him before it was too late.

“Fuck..” I let out as a quiet whisper, watching as my cooldown ticked down until it wasn’t there anymore. I ran towards Chance, not caring that I could be killed by 1x1x1x1 before I spotted something. A picture on the ground. I threw Chance a pizza right as the round ended and I picked up the picture.

The other remaining survivors for the round all spawned at the table, me included, as always. Everyone slowly got up and started to chat, or return to their separate areas. I held the picture tightly in my hand, walking out the main cabin to return to my own.

“So,” I muttered out to myself, looking at the picture in my hand. I look up, seeing Chance walking to his cabin in a panic as I walk over to him.

“Chance? You okay?” I asked, seeing him in a disheveled state as he looks at me like I’m crazy before he calms down.

“Yeah.. yeah, I’m alright.. Just, uh.. I lost something and I haven’t found it since the round ended.” Chance responds, seeing the photo in my hand and snatching it.

“..How the fuck did you get this? Why do you have it?” He questions, getting close to my face but never making contact with his angered expression.

“I found it on the ground before the round ended. Why are you so angry about it?” I asked, genuinely confused on why Chance would be so angry over a simple picture.

“...It's just important to me.” Chance responded, giving very little context on why. I didn't bother pushing more, knowing Chance he wouldn’t tell me anyways.

“Whatever, get some rest.” I responded, watching as Chance nodded and walked to head to his cabin. I went back into my cabin as well. I wasn’t able to make out what the picture was before I walked out to check on Chance, unfortunately.

Although.. All I saw in that picture was Chance.. And some guy. I didn’t know who he was, his face was blacked out. But Chance looked angry. I couldn’t figure out why he looked so.. Mad. Pissed off. I’ve never seen him like that towards me.
