Tbh that was a dick move on the author's part. Had to take a page from Ellis' book and jut not

This is like the backstory of some serial killer right here

us/blog/slightly-blighty/201508/can-you-lose-your-eyesight-psychological-reasons Here is an article from Psychology Today, which may have been inspiration for writing Ellis' unexplained temporary blindness.

As one of my friends would say...

You buttnugget ;;

Nah... Jk. Wonderful story... But you seriously messed with my feels NELLIS FEELS

Ur so mean! I want nick alive!

I so badly want to believe Nick real that last time, but you made it seem so impossible! D;

THE AGONYYYY! DX

I'm feel terrible for Ellis. ;-;

OMG! BEST GAY PORN EVER!

This is so great, words fail me.

The last line made it feel like it was all an illusion.. -cry- haha it was a good story I enjoyed it very much

Holy shitfuck...

"HE BELIEVED IT. EVERY TIME"? HOW DARE YOU ;-; First you kill Nick right as he reached rescue with Teh Masturbator (Charger). Then you seemingly resurrect him. Then you kill him again, right there with that line. Then you decide it's up to us to decide if any of the last part was real? jfhdfhiusfdhj no.

Know what? The nurse saw him, therefore alive.
Harhar to you. And thank you, by the way, for the story. I don't think it was lacking at all, and I certainly don't feel gypped. If this was what you would consider not "nearly as strong" as you could've written it, it's be crazy to see what you could've done! But I'm extremely satisfied with this story. That you for the fantastic read.

OMG the last line "Ellis believed it. Every time." has my head turning! I started to cry realizing that Nick may never came back. *Sniff*
FAN!

Please dont let no one else die D:

Okay I hope no one else dies because my chest is starting to hurt with all this sadness

Just finished reading the entire story. You did a very good job at experimenting with a mentally ailing and emotionally distant Ellis. It's a new approach that in my opinion worked out quite well.

There were some grammatical errors, as well as punctuation errors, but that's nothing to deter from the story itself. Merely a very minor issue.

I did enjoy how you went through the trouble of finding song lyrics to help capture the meaning of each chapter. I found that it helped tie it together. Some parts seemed rushed, but I know how it is trying to fill in the details and yet coming up with nothing. (I'm working on my first story right now, and despite being a One-Shot, it's hard)

I felt sorry for when Rochelle died. She's actually not that useless of an AI when I play. A gory and gruesome death, but at least there was a moment of remembrance. Nice ending, as well. Is Ellis truly mad and continuing his hallucinations, or is Nick living and breathing, coming to restore balance into the mechanic's life? If you ever do revisit this story and add on to it, I do look forward to it.

Some of my favorite moments in the story where when Ellis went temporarily blind (that was fun to read, and imagine), Ellis' freakouts, and the tender moments shared with Nick and Ellis.

I liked the creativity of mimicking the Witch to get past her. If only you could do that in game... xD

Great story, needs some revising, but overall I had a great time reading it (with uber depressing instrumentals going on in the background while I did. xD)
