He glanced at Rhyme, his head still hanging low and sniffed miserably. “I d-d-don’t t-t-think I c-c-can” He muttered. He had no reason to forgive himself, no reason to believe that he should be forgiven for what he had done. He had acted selfishly and his punishment had been loneliness, brought on in part by the secrets he kept and the lies he told to protect himself. Until Shaye… He looked up suddenly at Rhyme, panic stricken as he realized Shaye would be told of what he had done all those years ago. Her opinion of him would change no doubt, and she might even be disgusted by him. He struggled to plead with Rhyme no to tell her, to beg him to keep his secret, but he knew from the cold look in the male’s eyes that his mind had already been made up, and he had already decided what Spider was. “MURDERER!” a voice shrieked in the forefront of his mind, not Toad this time but his sister’s. He felt his heart beating rapidly, his ribs aching from the strain. He had ruined everything again and it was his fault. It was always his fault.
“Please-“ He rasped before his voice died away, suddenly everything was turning black, and his legs were giving out from under him. He was trapped, like a small helpless animal in a snare and there was no escaping it. He felt himself fall, but before he hit the ground, his mind sank into oblivion.
