Italy looked around at the clock of his dead friends. How could he have failed again? He had tried his best but apparently that wasn't enough. He had tried over and over but they all died one by one in front of his very eyes. Time after time he had tried but the clock of death still reigned victoriously. What could he have done better? Austria and the others were waiting outside for their friends who would never leave the house. This time he thought he had made no mistakes but looking over the dead corpses, he knew he had. He had got all the keys but apparently he had forgotten something. Poor Japan telling everyone his feelings and then dying. Poor England trying so hard to be strong but rendering himself useless instead, the thing had sensed his weakness and swooped in like a buzzard. America had tried to save him but the thing had killed them both. Russia, China, and Canada were all killed trying to protect the mortally wounded Spain after Romano had been killed. Prussia and Germany had fought to the very end never once giving up or faltering. Before Germany had died he had reached over and kissed Italy. It was a kiss that conveyed all of Germany's hidden feelings towards Italy. Italy returned it with all his passion and love. Then the thing had hissed " YoU wOn'T EsCaPe" and struck. Germany pulled away and fell to the ground, dead. Prussia looked over and sighed, he then whispered " I love you Italia" and then the thing took his life too. Italy braced himself for his inevitable death swipe but Spain took it for him while inflicting a wound onto the thing which vanished. Spain looked over and smiled whispered something incoherent and then coughed up blood and died. France had tried to save Italy too but the thing had just pushed him aside then gorged on him like he was some kind of feast. During which time Italy ran and hid crying. He had watched all his friends fade and crumble. Weren't they nations? They can't die permanently right? He had gone through numerous time loops but failed each time. Italy peered out the window and wrote in his friends blood LET US OUT! Then the thing came and defeated the last hope of ever leaving the horrible mansion.

Never enter the mansion

That is where they wait
