About a week later Hunter wakes up in the Emergency ward of Cuttlefish's training Grounds. He looks around the room confused. Agent Orange was walking in to check on him. "Oh your awake...How are you feeling?" Hunter doesn't reply. His memories of the last few days he was awake were a blur. "Just...Stay calm ok...What happened that day isn't your fault. It was the helmet's fault." Hunter looks at her. Hunter gets flashes of the horrid things he had done. "How can i live with myself for what i have done?" Agent Orange sighs unsure how to answer that. "I'm going to get the Captain... Just don't do anything ok?" as she leaves the room she passes a message to Blue to make sure no one else enters. She returns a few minutes later with the Captain. "How did you get that helmet?" Hunter looks at Cuttlefish. "It was my grandfather's. It wasn't working when i got it. After i repaired it i wore it." Cuttlefish sighs. "You cant undo what you have done. I know how dangerous the mask is. I have been trying to hunt them all down. It's unfortunate you ended up with one.
Hunter looks worried. "Is Callie, and Marie ok?" Orange nods. "Yes they are fine, but...I think you have to forget about them. Callie hates you for injuring her, and her cousin. As for Marie...She hasn't left her room in days. The public wants you dead for hurting the Squid Sisters. Callie is the one who told them." Hunter sinks into the bed and looks away from them. It's at this moment Callie barges into the room after knocking out Agent Blue. Agent Orange grabbed a hold of the hand that had the knife in it. "YOU SON OF A!" she was fighting hard to get her hand free as the other hand grabbed Hunter by the neck. Hunter looks at her, but his eyes were soulless almost wanting her to kill him. Cuttlefish manages to calm her down, but the damage was done. Hunter lays in bed wishing for death at this point.
Weeks pass Hunter hardly eats, and hardly drinks. Cuttlefish had went public to explain what had happened that day. The public was now not after Hunter for what he did, but it didn't matter as his mind was broken. With no will to keep going he just lays in bed staring at the roof. Then something happened that surprised everyone. Agent orange was guarding Hunter from Callie showing up, but nearly jumped out of her clothes when Marie showed up. "Is...Hunter in here?" Orange nods. "Yea...I'm surprised he is the first person you want to meet" Marie looked away. "He did nothing wrong, and I want him to know that I don't blame him." Hunter looks at the door upon hearing Marie's voice. Marie walks in, and stops at the side of Hunter's bed. "Um...Hunter...I don't blame you. I knew full well that the helmet was changing you...I was just hoping it wasn't too late to reason with you." Hunter looks away. Marie sighs she thinks for a bit and kisses his cheek. "Please get out of this funk...Grandpa might even have a way to have you redeem yourself." Marie leaves as she needed to talk with her cousin. when she kissed Hunter. he watches her as she leaves. Thoughts racing through his mind, and that strange feeling returning.
