HH- MIND WIPE AU

*Rushing through the halls and up to the second floor, Pentious’s heart raced faster than it ever had. He knew what he had to do, but he couldn’t stomach the consequences of doing it. Because doing it meant going back there, and he couldn’t handle going back there again. He’d—he’d seen things. Hallucinated. He didn’t know for sure how long he’d been in that dark room, but Emily estimated a week; even she didn’t know. And during that time, he’d seen things, things that would make Hell’s mightiest overlords tremble in fear. He’d been out of his mind, desperate for any kind of stimulation. His fingers still had the scars from his time there—and he didn’t want to go back. But— He reached his room just as his thoughts reached a fever pitch. Shoving Baxter and himself inside, he quickly shut the door and locked it. Baxter yanked himself out of Pentious’s hold, though the grip had loosened considerably as soon as they were inside. He wanted to throw up. He wanted to disappear into the floor, vanish away to wherever exterminated souls went— he wished he’d never been redeemed. Then he’d never be in this mess, never have to see his friends suffer his not-death, never have to suffer at the Seraph’s hands. God, he just wanted to disappear.* Baxter: Cut the act, I know it's you Pentious.
