"Dillon, no!" Ziggy shouts, practically screams, at his partner when he agrees to their deal.
He struggles, strains against the women holding him back. The one he doesn't know laughs, shrill and piecing, and tightens her grip around his middle, nearly crushing all the air from his lungs.
I'm not worth it, Dillon.
He can't watch as the device is pressed to Dillon's neck, as the change happens. As his friend slides away from him, back into darkness. He closes his eyes inside his helmet, fighting back tears.
Something inside him breaks when Dillon speaks, his voice wrong and hollow and not Dillon.
After a swift kick to the back, Ziggy is let go to crumble to the pavement. Vaguely aware of the woman that was holding him as she steps over him.
He opens his eyes in time to see her slide an arm around Tenaya's waist, and that would chill him for the bone if he wasn't already numb from... from Dillon...
