Ben X Page #3

Its costs 350 gold

in Archlord.

"If only we'd known,"

they say.

"If only we'd known."

What would

they have done?

You see it coming

every year.

You see it coming.

Every evening

you pray to God

that it'll turn out okay.

And usually it does.

But I guess...

this time

we forgot to pray.

You only know

how things turn out.

And we know that now.

I know one thing.

The school will

never be the same again.

Hi.

Uh... Ben X.

I don't know you

in real life,

but I still

know you really well.

I just want to say

that what counts in-game

counts in real life too.

You can't play an endgame

without your healer, and that's me.

I'm worried about you.

Tomorrow I'll catch a train

that gets to where

you live at 10:
22.

I know you'll be there.

You've never failed

to keep an appointment, so...

see you tomorrow.

- Hi, Martian!

- Hi, Benny-Boy.

Hey, pal,

you're so tense.

Let's exchange ideas.

If you have any

in that retarded head.

The bus. My bus.

My always-there bus

that drives off.

It's nice here

amongst the trees.

Shall we sit on a bench

next to each other?

Beardman told you

not to get worked up.

And he's right.

Heart rate:
94.

What's that?

- That's some watch!

- You're spoiled.

Let me see!

Don't get aggressive!

Not like last time!

- Take it easy.

- You know what'll happen.

- We're friends.

- You know what'll happen.

Take it easy, Desmet.

We're all friends here.

Jesus, you're

really nuts.

- Relax.

- Call me if necessary.

- Yes, Mom.

- We're friends, aren't we?

- Hey, what's that? Hey!

- What's that?

A Nokia 3250. Christ!

What have you got that for?

You can't talk, so how can you

use a phone?

- We should have it.

- It's to text his mommy.

To send text messages?

Let's see.

Here, look at this.

An MMS from...

Who's that?

- Frankenstein's got a girlfriend!

- Scarlite.

She's called Scarlite.

Let's see.

Who's that?

Who is it?

He's got a girlfriend.

- Hey, she's not bad!

- Definitely isn't!

I just want to say

that what counts in-game

counts in real life too.

You can't play an endgame

without your healer.

Your healer?

Is she your healer?

Dealer more likely!

Incredible!

Tomorrow I'll catch a train that gets

to where you live at 10:22.

Tomorrow at 10:
22,

at the station,

on the platform.

We'll be there too, eh, Desmet?

We've got to see this!

We can't miss out on our

best friend's first date!

True or not true?

Telephone.

Telephone, Benny.

- She's phoning him!

- It's Mommy!

Hello, Mommy.

I'm in the park

with my friends.

Leave a message

after the beep. Bye.

Bye, Mommy.

Oops, mailbox.

Let me know

where you are, okay?

Don't you mind being

stalked, Benny-boy?

Always having to listen

to bullshit from your mother?

I'll keep your phone,

eh, Benny-Boy?

What do you think?

- Easy! Easy with the crucifix!

- You are mad after all!

Hey, Benny, telephone.

It's Mommy.

Aren't you going to answer it?

It's Mommy.

She'll come and get you.

Come on, Ben.

Answer your phone.

My buddy Benny-Boy.

You crazy Martian!

We're not taking you with us again!

And to think we had

a present for you as well.

Look, this is only

for our best friends.

It's a little pill

that has a big effect.

It's called a Superman.

Superman.

Open your mouth.

There's a smiley on it,

for people like you

who never laugh.

Want it?

Some water to

wash it down.

You'll feel just

like Superman!

There! Now swallow.

The first one's free

because you're our friend.

It'll do you good.

You won't be so aggressive any more.

Here.

So you know what time it is when you go

whining to the fatmaster.

I don't believe this!

Jesus Christ!

I don't believe it!

Phone me, please.

What's that, Mom?

Nothing, son.

It's nothing.

Let's go and look

for Ben.

Damn it.

God damn it!

Damn!

Damn me!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Feel.

Feel me, Ben.

Ben.

You have to learn

to feel

if you want

to learn to feel good.

Ben!

What's up, son?

What happened?

Are you okay?

Just look at you!

Is everything okay?

What's the matter?

What's the matter

with you, Ben?

That'll do, son.

It's nothing, Mom.

That's what people

always say, it's nothing.

I'm healed, Mom.

I'm really healed.

Completely healed.

Your big brother

is Superman!

Calm down, Ben,

please!

That's enough!

There's water coming

out of your eyes, Mom.

Water is coming

out of your eyes

but I know what it is.

Salt and moisture.

Salt and moisture!

People say

I don't understand

because I don't understand

feelings, but I do.

I know what they are.

Do you remember

when I was little

I tried to push

those tears

back into your eyes?

It was just because

I didn't want you to be sad.

It's all right, Mom.

People always say

it's all right

and they ask,

"Is everything all right?"

And then you reply,

"Yes, yes!

"Yes, everything's all right.

Everything is right.

Everything's going right."

Everything's all right.

Everything's going right.

- I'm not crazy.

- No!

- Just a bit difficult.

- Calm down, Ben.

Yes, I'm a different cult.

But I'm training myself.

I'm training, training,

training.

I'm in bits.

But I've been reborn,

like in video games.

- You always get a new life.

- Come on, son.

Let's go home.

Come on, son.

That's it.

And then it was over.

I was over.

Eyes open again,

head shut once more.

Ben.

What's that, Ben?

Why didn't you tell me?

- Ben...

- Then it was time for truthfulness.

Shamefulness, painfulness.

Who did that?

Tell me, Ben.

Everything can be

destroyed so easily.

Everything can be

destroyed so easily.

Why couldn't I just be

destroyed too?

Stop it, Ben.

Stop it!

Jonas!

Jonas.

Then I saw that jerk

standing there again.

And I attacked him.

I'd heard it before,

the calling

of night falling.

Going right

to the end of pain.

How beautiful!

Blood flowing from a vein.

A bit later

my father came round.

My dad,

who also never knows

what to say.

So I usually

understand him that way.

She'd come too.

Sabine, his girlfriend,

as he'd always say.

Who always asked how I was

holding up.

How are you holding up?

- It can't go on like this.

- No, Sabine.

It can't go on like this.

But still, it will have to.

It will have to.

It's not the first time

and it won't be the last.

Come on, Sabine. Leave it.

It's okay, leave it.

Look after him.

The endgame.

The end, the end,

the end, the end.

The end, the end,

the end.

The end, the end,

the end, the end.

The endgame.

The endgame.

Heart rate:
55.

Under 13

and you're dead.

Then you've done it.

You're finished.

and you arrive.

Where there's death, there's life.

You can't play an endgame

without your healer

and that's me.

Tomorrow I'll catch a train that gets

to where you live at 10:22.

- And I know you'll be there...

- 9:
36.

Got to go

to the station.

I've got to go

to the station.

Calm down.

Calm down, Ben.

GONE OU DON'T WORRY

I'll keep your phone.

The station.

The station.

on the platform.
