Ashton sat down next to Sylvia on the couch. Meanwhile Clint was outside taking in some lung destroyers. Ashton's mind was flooded with thoughts. Was Jin really back to normal for three days?

He figured he could talk Jin out of his new immoral ways. Maybe he could change Jin. Now that he wasn't aggressive, this was the perfect time to talk to him. The time when he became—temporarily— his old self.

Sylvia clutched her hands together, and placed them on her lap. Her hands were now touching her dark grey skirt. She heaved loudly. This was the perfect time to get Jin to understand her. To forgive her.

Given the intensity of Jin's newfound fierceness; she couldn't have a better chance to talk to him other than within these three days. She had to speak to him in private. And this was the perfect time to do so.

Ashton could really use those three days to spend his last moments with the old Jin. For he would never see that Jin again. He had to relish these three days to himself. He had to savor it all!

Sylvia had figured that she could get Jin to radically forgive her, and let her help him all in those three days. She knew it would be difficult in that he accused her of being a part of the traumatic betrayal—but she had faith. She had already succumbed to the urge of the sapidity of this chance to make a difference. Three days she needed!

Standing before Jin was the Beast he had fought earlier. The four-legged creature had not a single scratch on its body. Its health and physique was completely restored.

Jin looked down at a screen that had suddenly manifested.

[Task: Tame the Untamed Beast]

The creature growled at him as he started to amble toward it. It started to walk backward. But Jin continued to approach it. Ultimately, the creature's body met a wall, and there was no other place for it to go.

Jin paused when he was right in front of it, and he crouched down, looking at it. There was silence for a wheel, as Jin peered into the creature's eyes. He peered closely. Suddenly, he grabbed the creature in his arms, and embraced it lovingly.

"Benjamin—I just knew it was you. It was you all along." Jin said; sorrow to his soft, deliberate tone. "I'm sorry … for everything. I'm sorry I did this to you. I'm sorry you had to die because of me. It's all my fault. I'm the one to blame.

"I shouldn't have put a stranger over you and grandma. I neglected your existence for so long. I never cherished you. You've been my only pet for eight years; and yet I didn't show you any love. I'm indebted to you, Benjamin.

"You were trying to tell me something about Flint when he came here. You sensed what I couldn't perceive. I was blinded by the very thing only you saw. You were trying to protect me. That's all you were trying to do all along. And in return … I killed … you." A tear trickled down his cheek.

He was so broken such that he shed a tear. He shed a tear because he felt like he owed it to Benjamin. That and the fact that he had remembered not even burying Benjamin. He left it in the room upstairs; which explained the stench he had smelled up there.

Bearing this in mind, Jin realized just how horrible of a person he was. How careless he was. He felt horrible inside, and for a second, he regretted his existence.

He was never able to give anything to his friends and family, even when he didn't have the system. Instead he depended upon them. Took from them—little by little. He was never able to give anything back. He hated himself for this.

He clenched his teeth. He just wished he could not exist; given that he was there to take things from others including their lives. If only he rewind time, he would run away so that his friends and family were to far to give anything to him.

He heard a sound in his head; and slowly opened his eyes to see what the system was trying to display to him. In these eyes; one could see his pain. Before he was given the healstone, a lot of unexpressed emotions were accumulating. He couldn't show what he was feeling inside until now. His eyelids slowly raised and his pupils contracted as light quickly entered them.

[Congratulations, you have tamed this creature]

[New Skill: Teleportation]

[What would you like to name this Servant?]

Jin released the creature, and looked at it. It remained silent as it peered at him, harmlessly. Jin smiled. "You're not entirely Benjamin anymore so I suppose I should give a new name to you while keeping parts of the old one," Jin raised an index finger. "Benji. That's what I'll name you."

[Servant named]

[Name: Benji]

[Race: Dog]

[HP: 37 / 37]

"Benji."

Suddenly, Benji darted toward Jin, and knocked him over to his back. His back collided with the floor, and his head slammed. Benji's paws were on his chest.

Suddenly, Benji started to lick him all over his face. Except this time, there was no saliva. Jin closed his eyes and laughed relentlessly. "Looks like you missed me too," he smiled at Benji.

Then, he stood. "You were quite greedy, and I can't help but tell you that. So knowing you. You'd be hungry by now. Want something to eat?"

Benji dropped its draw, revealing its mouth in response. It breathed with his mouth opened, and moved around boisterously. But it kept its new evil look. Its green glowing eyes. Its new tall height. Its furless body. Its powerful skills.

It was a tamed monster. A monster who share its leaders strength. A monster that was put in this world again after an atrocious death. One forever loyal to only the man who had once unbiddenly taken its life away.
