Oh thank god, they all escaped. ;A; I can't say they escaped unscathed, but still, it's so great that they're out.

I loved that the ending was somewhat hopeful, even after everything they'd been through. Matthew's POV for the ending worked great. I still feel so bad for all of them, but for some reason I feel especially bad for Alfred. He probably feels incredibly guilty, blaming himself for all of this, not to mention everything he's been through... I feel like he'll be the one who needs the most therapy once they get back home. D:

And they all really need to get to a hospital. Especially Alfred, if he's still bleeding that much!

This was brilliantly written, from how awful the bad guy was, to the punishments, to the strength of the characters despite whet they've been through. Honestly I couldn't have asked for a better fill then this, so thank you. :)

_{Would it be too much to ask for an epilogue, or to at least see what Al, Matt, and Arthur will to do after this?}
