Hello all, and sorry for the delay! At least it wasn't almost a year this time... I do want to continue this fan fic and update it more consistently, but I've just started college, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to write, or how often this will be updated. I'm going to try my darnedest to start updating it bi-weekly on Saturdays... I'm not sure if this will work at all, though. I'm very sorry for how delayed this fic has been. Thank you so much for reading, and thank you to all those who reviewed the last chapter! I'm sorry I didn't reply to all your reviews; I like to reply to reviews I get, but sometimes I put it off and never get around to it. (That seems to be a theme for me.) Also, let me know if you're still enjoying the fic and if there's anything you'd like me to improve. I'm always afraid I've "lost the touch" so-to-speak and the chapters I'm producing are inferior to those that came before them. I think I'd also like the chapters to be shorter and less detailed in the future; I've been going into perhaps too much detail when describing the scenes, and the last few chapters haven't really resembled a children's book, to be honest. XD If you'd prefer me to go to a less-detailed approach, please let me know. Sorry again for the delays, and I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I forgot to put one of these here last chapter! As always, I do not own Heavy Rain, and this fic CONTAINS SPOILERS. Reader beware.

Chapter 6: When Friends Make Each Other Sad

Madison was very happy. She got to be in the story again. She was hoping that she would get her own chapter, but then she walked over to Ethan's room and saw him lying on the floor taking a nap. This made Madison sad, but because Madison is a nice person she helped Ethan. Madison knew that people should take naps on beds, so she put Ethan on his bed. Madison also knew that Ethan would be hot if he kept his sweater on, so she took it off.

Then Madison realized that Ethan had a fever! This meant that Ethan was sick. He was so sick he had burns and cuts. Madison knew that she couldn't kiss all of Ethan's owies to make them better, so she got all the stuff she found in the bathroom and used it to make Ethan feel better. Madison gave Ethan pills, but she didn't tell him what they were because she knew that you should never tell someone what the pills you're giving them are. After Madison rubbed Ethan's tummy and disinfected the air over Ethan's arm, Ethan fell asleep to take another nap. Madison waited until Ethan woke up because she knew she couldn't do anything without him around.

After a long, long time, Ethan woke up. Madison and Ethan talked about boring stuff while Ethan put on his awesome jacket. Madison said that Ethan lived a dangerous life, but this made Ethan sad, so Madison said she was sorry and wouldn't ask any more questions. Then Ethan told her to not ask any more questions, which confused Madison. She wanted to help Ethan more, but he told her no one could help him because Ethan is an idiot. Then Madison left and the story went back to Ethan, which made Madison sad.

Ethan walked around his room. He was tired, but not too tired to admire how good he looked in the mirror. Then he looked out the window, which made sad music play, which made Ethan even sadder. Then Ethan remembered the origami figures, so he opened up the next one. It looked like a lizard, which made Ethan scared because he was afraid of lizards. The lizard gave him an address at Marble Street. Ethan loved to play marbles, so he was very happy to go there.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Blake and Norman Jayden were at the police station. Ash was there too, but nobody cared about him which made him sad. Another nameless cop was talking to the man in the red hoodie who they had brought in earlier. Blake was very angry because the man in the red hoodie wasn't the Origami Killer or the Origammi Killer. Then someone called Ash on the phone, which made him very happy, but they just wanted to tell Blake and Jayden that Grace wanted to talk to them, which made Ash sad again.

Blake and Jayden talked to Grace, who told them about Ethan's plot device amnesia and how it made him seem like he was the Origami Killer. Blake pretended to type what she said as she talked, but he was really chatting with his friends on Facebook and wasn't paying attention. Jayden and Blake didn't know if they could use unexplained plot devices as evidence, but they decided to ignore that and go after Ethan to move the plot forward.

Blake and Jayden went to Ethan's shrink to ask him about Ethan. Ethan's shrink didn't like being in the story since scenes were getting longer and longer, so he said he wouldn't talk to them. This made Blake angry because he wanted to impress Jayden by being a good cop. Jayden wanted to impress Blake too, so he asked the shrink nicely to talk to them. The shrink still wouldn't talk and said he would call the police. Blake didn't want other cops to be Jayden's friends, so he started hitting the shrink so the shrink couldn't call the police. This made Jayden angry, though, and he told Blake to stop. This made Blake angry at Jayden, so the two yelled at each other. The shrink got tired of their yelling and told them that Ethan had unexplained plot devices that made him look like he was the Origami Killer. He also told them that Ethan dropped an origami during their last visit, which definitely made him the Origami Killer.

Blake and Jayden left. They were very happy that the shrink didn't call the police and report Blake for punching him in the face. They then rode around the city. Blake again wanted to impress Jayden, so he told all the cops to chase after Ethan because he was the Origammi Killer. This just made all the cops confused because they thought they were looking for the Origami Killer, but they decided to look for Ethan anyway.

Elsewhere in the city, Scott went to a place where people played golf. Lauren didn't go with him even though she said wherever Scott went she went. Scott wanted to talk to an old man named Robert Kramer. He knew all old people liked golf, so he went to a place where people played golf to find Kramer. Scott told Kramer he was good at golf, which made Kramer happy, so Kramer was nice to Scott. Kramer asked Scott if he ever played golf. Scott once did play, but by accident he set the course on fire and killed all the people playing with him. Scott decided to just tell Kramer that the owner of the golf course was still looking for him, which was true. Scott hoped he had lost the owner in Puerto Rico and the owner was still stuck there. If he showed up, then Scott would have to leave and find a new place to live again, which would make him very, very sad.

Kramer told Scott that golf was the best game ever, and told Scott he could play too if he wanted. Scott didn't want to start another fire, but he did want to talk to Kramer, so he decided to play. Kramer told Scott to take off his jacket, which made Scott sad because he would look fatter, but he did it anyway. Then Kramer stared at Scott's butt, which crept Scott out, but he ignored it and grabbed a golf club. Scott swung and hit a golf ball really far, which surprised both him and Kramer. Kramer and Scott took turns hitting golf balls. As they played, they talked about Kramer's son, Gordi, and how Scott went to his party and talked to him. Kramer told Scott that Gordi wasn't the Origami Killer or the Origarmi Killer or even the Origammi Killer, but Scott wasn't so sure. Then Kramer offered to buy Scott something nice, but Scott didn't like getting gifts, so he told Kramer he didn't play that game and left. This made Kramer angry, so he played some more golf to feel better.

Forty-seven minutes later, Ethan drove his car to Marble Street. He looked around but didn't see any games of marbles, which made him sad. He walked into a building on the street. It had a hallway that looked really cool. Then Ethan saw a porcelain figurine... shaped like a lizard! Ethan was very scared of the fake lizard, but then he got angry because they weren't marbles, so he picked up each one and threw it on the ground. After Ethan broke all the lizards, he noticed that one had a key in it. Ethan used the key to open a door with a lizard on it. Ethan was scared that there would be more lizards in the room, but there weren't any lizards, only a GPS on a table, so Ethan was happy.

Ethan sat down at the table and turned on the GPS. The annoying GPS lady told him that he had to make a salad to help save Shaun because vegetables are good for you. Ethan knew this, so he got a knife and started chopping up vegetables. Ethan was not as careful with the knife as he should have been, though, and he accidentally cut off his finger. This hurt. A lot. It made Ethan very sad. Ethan tried to put a red-hot iron on it to lessen the pain because Ethan is an idiot but that just made it hurt more.

Ethan knew he would have to be more careful with sharp knives next time. He finished the salad and ate it. The GPS lady told Ethan that the chip was under the table, which made Ethan sad because he didn't have to make the salad in the first place, but he was happy to have eaten his vegetables. Ethan put the chip in his phone, and it showed Shaun in a grate again before giving Ethan more letters. Ethan wondered if the Origami Killer was trying to play the most extreme game of Hangman ever, but he ignored that, got up, and left while the same triumphant music played, which made Ethan feel a bit better but didn't stop his finger from hurting. A lot.
