Mark ended up passing out from the unbearable pain the torture Blade inflicted on him. The ambulance rushed him to the hospital where doctors had to perform emergency surgery on his shoulder tendon to have any luck of saving the feeling and function in his arm. Thankfully, Mark is a physically strong man, and the surgery went off better than the doctors expected. He woke up to family and friends surrounding him.
"H...Hi," his raspy voice weakly said. He had to have an air tube during the operation.
"Honey! I'm so glad you are better," said his mom, stroking his non-injured cheek. Her eyes were swollen from crying. She couldn't imagine anyone doing this to her baby boy.
"I'll be fine," he croaked, "I… I just want to know why. Why did he even do this to me? Is there a police officer I can speak to?"
"Yes, honey. Hold on."
His mom ran out of his room and yelled out the door for the officer to come in. Mark rolled his eyes at his mother's antics.
"Mr. Fischbach. I'm so happy to see you awake. How are you doing?"
"Could be better to be honest," chuckled Mark, "why did he do it?"
"According to his confession, he did it after he saw one of your vlogs about believing in your fans and encouraging to do good. He said he was in such a bad way that those words enraged him. He admitted he was jealous of your kind-heartedness towards people you don't even know."
"So… that's it. He wanted to destroy me in order to take away many people's light in their darkest days."
"Essentially, yes. That is what he said he wanted to do."
"Well… as far as I'm concerned, he failed. I refuse to dip down to that level."
