Sweetie wobbled to Rarity and squealed her name as Rarity ran to her and hugged her so tightly Sweetie couldn't breathe. Rarity cried as she hugged her beloved sister and stroked her mane. Sweetie smelled like medicine from the hospital soaps. Both Sweetie and Scootaloo were washed and bandaged up, but their trauma will stay with them forever.

The group of ponies were at the police station getting picked up by their friends and loved ones. Rarity came and got Sweetie Belle then sooner than later, Rainbow Dash came accompanied by Twilight, since she started the search for the three fillies, and Applejack. Rainbow Dash, after sharing a moment with Scotaloo, was smoking mad. She punched together who hoofs and hissed, "Now where is this bastard, pan!? I'm going to break his fucking neck!"

Twilight Sparkle snapped at Rainbow, "Rainbow Dash! Don't swear so much in front of the kids!" she then looked over to Applejack, who was jogging in place in a frantic panic. "Where's m'ah little sis?" she asked with her eyes darting around. Sweetie and Scootaloo felt a knot tie in their stomachs and bit their lip. A cop walked out and began to explain to all the adults what happened.

Applejack, upon hearing what he did to Applebloom, she instantly threw up and got more and more faint until the room spins and she collapsed. Twilight blinked a few times then asked the cop in a gentle voice, "...could I see him?" the cop looked to Twilight. At first he was going to deny it, but her being the princess, he simply nodded. Twilight smiled at him and replied, "Thanks,"

Upon entering the interrogation room, she could see Pan sitting, hand cuffed to a table. He had his mane over his dark sunken eyes. It was both the most pitiful and depressing sight Twilight has ever seen. The stallion was skinnier than a twig, his mane was greasy and he smelled like sweat and coffee. Pan had his head on the table, it reminded her of when she'd get tired at her desk and rest her head on it. She cleared her throat then walked to the other side of the desk. "Hello Pan."

Pan very slowly raised his head, seeing the princess Twilight Sparkle, his eyes widened then he bowed his head to her. "No need, Pan" she said again with a modest smile. She continued, "It looks like you're in a bit of trouble here. They say you really hurt them," she noticed Pan squinting his eyes at the word hurt. She continued, "and you shoved a harmonica inside Sweetie Belle...You also drowned Applebloom and killed her-" Pan interrupted, "I never meant to kill her!"

Twilight felt a little glisten in her eye at those words. She turned her head and looked back at him with her mouth slightly open, "Wow...you really think you're in love with these fillies. You..." she trailed off. The purple alicorn began to get deep into thought.

Pan sat on the chair, waiting to be scolded. Instead Twilight pulled up a chair and sat down across from him. "Tell me. Tell me what happened to you to make you like this, Pan. I know you don't like that you're this way...I can tell by your eyes. They're not blood shot from lack of sleep...they're blood shot from crying. I can tell because your eye lashes are wet and they're so glossy...I know you already told the nurses, but I want you to tell me."

Pan was quiet for a while, and then looked back at Twilight in the eyes. She was a bit teary eyed too. The sight of mercy made Pan feel warm inside. Pan explained...
